It's a Beautiful Day!

Good morning, all!

It's a beautiful day!  The birds are singing, the wind is bowing gently, the temperature is amazing and all the teens and hubby are snoring!  Writing time!!!

Okay.  Today I thought I would tackle a bit more of the novel I have been working on for...ev...er, but, sadly, I would have to wake someone up to get the files.  SO not worth it.

Instead, I was hoping to do some simple poetry or something short and sweet that I can do just to get the mental exercise in.  I enjoy just writing on a whim, again.  It doesn't get to happen often. 

The youngest is out climbing a tree or cutting the bark off of a branch somewhere and blissfully happy.  We planted snapdragons this morning before he took off.

So, question of the day:  What was your favorite memory outdoors as a kid?   Click follow on my blog site and then let me know in the comments below.  Would love to have you with me on this journey!

Chaos Can Be So Chaotic

Good Morning, all!  It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the writing is picking up and I am actually writing this in my jim-jams.  It's a good day, lol.

So, I have spent the morning trying to get new widgets on this blog with no real success.  I will not be defeated!   

I have found the most interesting site called, 'Reedsy Writing Prompts' that gives you several prompts to choose from each week that you can turn into stories and enter a writing contest on their site for a chance to win some money.  I am so glad I came upon it!  I get to randomize my imagination and also practice writing on a weekly basis which is, by far, much more than has been the case, honestly.

As for my larger tome, I am starting to re familiarize myself with the outline and the characters.  It's time.  The boys, while a constant distraction and a great source of excuses, take just a bit less direct guiding from me now.  We have moved onto an acreage which has helped immensely as I can't get them out of trees or their lab or wherever they might be!

The tranquility is back.  I missed being in such quiet, hearing the birds, being able to garden, etc..  While I garden is when I think the most and do a lot of the writing and formation of things in my head.  I love it.

I was thinking today about how much goes into the writing process and how daunting it has to be for established authors to produce works of art repeatedly and not feel overwhelmed from the thought of having to outdo the previous one and maintain interest in their craft.

If I only had those troubles!

Today's question of the day:  What would you main characters name be and what genre would you write in?

Not my image.  Pulled from common search domain.

Hope you have an amazing day!
