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. Before I visit the dream state, I write a little bit more. In the past five days I wrote over 8,000 wordsContinue reading “Day Forty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Days 42 & 43 of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Prompted to Write

Between the 111 Day Writer’s Journey and National Novel Writing month I’m writing to my heart’s content. Are you?

Day Forty-One of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Leaves of Change

DAY 41: Motivational Monday poem *Original and fictional* You left too soon Before I could refute Your claims that scarred my soul I’m not same as I once was  Nor could I ever be I observe, learn, and grow In the seasons of my life  You go your way  And I’ll go mine Perhaps we’llContinue reading “Day Forty-One of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Leaves of Change”

Day Forty of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Building a Bridge

DAY 40: Sunday SoulJourn – Fear Itself There are certain fears which are understandable – like arachnophobia and fear of heights. How about the ones that go unseen yet are equally impactful? Are you a commitment phobe? Do you fear the possibility of failure? Are you overly concerned with other people’s expectations and perceptions? 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. For instance, I wrote my YA fantasty/magic realism adventure as a novel because the language required an expansive canvas. 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-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”

Day Thirty-Three of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Super Girls

DAY 33: Sunday SoulJourn – Super Girls  I wholly believe that spirits recognize their kin. Paths cross over the course of a hectic and fast-paced life as we maneuver around obstacles and race towards the finish line that keeps moving. I am fortunate to know many super women whose paths crossed mine at some pointContinue reading “Day Thirty-Three of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Super Girls”

Day Twenty-Eight of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 28: Garden Inspiration I don’t have a green thumb (perhaps a purple one when I hit it with a hammer by accident), but I do love gardens. I can’t tell you the names of most types of flowers or herbs, or what perennial means, yet they inspire my artistic soul. That fascination with gardensContinue reading “Day Twenty-Eight of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

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

DAY 27: Motivational Monday poem  Birthed from a natural home The rosebud makes an entrance  With care from the sun, rain, and green thumb  The flower known as delicate  Can defend itself  The thorns guard the petals From those who might cause harm While vivid colors and vibrant aromas  Enhance the surroundings  Flowers bloom asContinue reading “Day Twenty-Seven of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”
