Today’s prompt is “the last time I saw my father”.
What happened? What did he say? What did you say? Or was it just an ordinary, everyday non-event? Tell me. Continue reading “Dec 5 prompt”
This was scheduled to post 5mins after midnight; I should have known better than to trust software.
Today’s prompt is “snowbirds”.
Maybe this makes you think of birds who live in the snow, like penquins? Maybe you think about the birds who stay

Today’s prompt is “awareness of awareness”.
One of the things I love about prompts is it allows me to think of an object of how it symbolically may mean – and what lessons may be learned from it. This awareness of Continue reading “Dec 3 prompt”

Today is “rhubarb vodka”.
Two things I am found of ….
Yesterday – Robert Lee Brewer posted the next steps to take on the completed NovPAD Challenge. Like NaNoWriMo, December is the time to start editing and polishing. if you want to submit a chapbook manuscript to Writer’s Digest, Jan 15th is the due date.
Reminder, my Etsy site CC Willow Arts will be 10% off through December (I can gift-wrap for you). Also – If you like my zentangle patterns, many are available on items, like pillows, on RedBubble. I’ve got over a few more new ones uploaded. And will get even more uploaded today …
If you are into community theater and in Oregon’s Willamette Valley – the murder mystery that I have been in rehearsals for – “Christmas At The Blizzard” – WILL BE OPENING THIS FRIDAY NIGHT. See Silverton’s Brush Creek Playhouse’s website for details …

Challegiing day but excited for Thanksgiving! Son has asked to be the Meister Chef tomorrow and looking forward to what deliciousness he whips up.
Hopefully the brownies will take the day off…
Today’s Writing Challnges’ prompts:
NovPAD
RLB today suggest using “(blank) Day” as the title of today’s NovPAD poem. This may end up being an elegy to my Grizzly (T-Day was always his holiday … and now Son takes up the mantle.)
Poetry Potion has a prompt of “Angels & vices” – I first read that as Angels and voices” … Might become my poem.
Mia’s Prompt for Day 22 is “distorted sounds”.
All really great prompts …
NaNoWiMo
I’ll have to pick this one up later; don’t have it with me right now …
Zentangle
I did a fun Fall tangle this morning! It features the patterns of Trimind, Bask-It, Swirly, Vega & Flovine against a background of Twenty-One.
I hope to share a poem tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the United States and Americans abroad! Expecially to our brave our, defense warriors stationed away from family.
I’m not one these days for expressing my gratitude aloud these days, other than thanking someone for a favor they have done. The reason being= it seems a sure-fire way to lose what I appreciate having. Continue reading “Day 23 Thankful for Writing Challenges”

Spent this morning looking for my glasses; never did find them. I suspect the brownies took them & hid them. Today is also a day when physical law refuse to work for me. Those two challenges leave today being a “catch me if you can” day.
I need to spend today in my role as CC Willow, working on my online art offerings & setting up a holiday sale. So, on for today …

Tech issues, so this post will be composed in stages today.
One of those days when I can’t quite get my emotions under control – so all my devices are SLIDing and in the weirdest ways (im) possible. Let’s go from phone to ‘puter now … Continue reading “Day 20 of 30-Day Writing Challenges”

And, yes, there will be a poem shared!
So yesterday I let procrastination limit how much I could write y’day. When I did get to Everybody Likes Pie, I was able to lose myself completely in it … for about 30 mins at a time. But then my inner domestic kept reminding me of chores I needed to do, which led to more chores needing to be done. Writers’ life, sheesh.
