Day Forty-Nine of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 49: World-Building Idea I wasn’t in much of a writing mood today – didn’t even take my notebook to work. After a busy day and evening, I sat at the dining room table and picked up my pencil. The words chugged out like a train out of steam. I kept going, determination more importantContinue reading “Day Forty-Nine of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Day Forty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 44: Writing Ahead Social media hashtags have us looking back on Thursdays, but today I’m looking ahead! I spend the majority of my work breaks writing. I come home and continue writing.

DoContinue reading “Day Forty of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Building a Bridge”
Day Thirty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 37: Piloting My Creativity I don’t know about you, fellow writers, but certain stories just fit into a particular format.

However, most of my prior writing focused on stories fit for the big screen orContinue reading “Day Thirty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”
Day Thirty-Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Safety First
DAY 35 I didn’t make much time to focus on my writings today. However, I wasn’t about to call it a night without getting something on paper.

Day Thirty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
DAY 34: Motivational Monday poem – Ancestral Seeds I often think of seeds planted Long before my body and spirit met The men and women who choices Defined not only their lives But fertilized the ground from which I stemmed I imagine the place they once called home And the steps they took to findContinue reading “Day Thirty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”
