Day Fifty-Six of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 56: Visual Learner I am a very visual person. As such, I prefer the worlds in my stories to capture attention and spark the imagination.

Days 54 & 55 of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 54: Under the Weather Related I managed to write a few paragraphs over the course of the day. My mind was too preoccupied with how under the weather I felt.

Day Forty-Eight of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Motivational Monday

DAY 48: MM poem – I Can Sea Clearly Vast are my dreams Wide are the possibilities  Can I navigate waters  Choppy and calm  Or require a rescue at sea I grab the oars  My hands splintered yet strong And row with hope and determination  My guiding lights I can clearly see  The beauty in theContinue reading “Day Forty-Eight of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Motivational Monday”

Day Forty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 47: Remembering my Irish Immigrants My three times great-grandfather died 116 years ago today from “cancer of the stomach” (a direct quote from a letter written by his wife to her mother-in-law).
