Inktober weekend

So, the game went well. Much fun was had. I managed to get caught up this morning. The first prompt was breakable. The second one is Drain.

Scheduled hopes.

So… In the past I have been awful about updating this blog. I am hoping that if I do a bit of a schedule it may help. So I decided to post my plan… Please be patient with me as I may still lapse.

Monday : poems. That will be the day when I share any poetry that I feel like sharing.

Tuesday : teasers. I have a children’s chapter book that I am working on currently, and Serena has her second book in her zombie apocalypse series. This is when I will be sharing teasers and updates on the work we are doing.

Wednesday : webcomics! This is going to be where I discuss webcomics and perhaps other fandoms.

Thursday : Reviews. Both tech and books. I am a geek who reads a lot. I really need to start doing a review segment on here.

Friday : writing helpers. This is where I will be talking about the technical difficulties that come with writing.

I am not scheduling weekends. And I may end up posting random other than the schedule… Cause life. You get it, I am quite sure. Also I may be less accurate to the schedule in November. I am doing the pad challenge and Serena is doing Nanowrimo. So I don’t know how much extra time for blogging I will have. But I will be posting. Just figure it will be less than I am hoping for.

What is webcomics?

20181017_234408_0001

Well webcomics are amazing comics that have been posted on the web. It really is that simple.  Years ago I was following nearly two hundred separate comics.  Then I lost access to a computer,  and mobile phones were too hard to read on .

Some have ended. I am still sorting through my links. I am current on two… Working on a  third.

These are the ones I am up to date on.  I am going to try to post about this topic every Wednesday.

I am updating :

Go check them out and tell me what you think . I hope that we can discuss the merits of the various webcomics and perhaps I can enlighten you as to some great comics,  or be enlightened by you.

 

Finally I am posting poetry

Ok, I admit part of the delay was my addiction to webcomics. I have been without a computer for about five years. I can’t read them on my phone. So I am trying to catch up with my favorite ones. Some I am finding no longer update (girlswithslingshots being one). Some are harder to update than others. I will attempt to do a post in the near future about my favorite webcomics and why. Just let me get caught up first.

I, so far have done a poem for each of the prompts that were given for Inktober. Then the prompt Angular came up yesterday. Weak…. Was late due to webcomics. Angular because I see nothing poetic in that. I’m sorry but I don’t see myself ever writing poems about angular. So I chose a different prompt. The prompt for the second one is cry.

I will be doing today’s inktober post in a little bit. I have the art done, and I have the writing area ready. I just need to eat something and come back to the writing.

Twelfth night inktober

Graceful bulk
Through the sea,
Singing giant
Moving so easily.

Gentle beast,
With a nature sweet.
Peaceful creatures
Swimming with ease.

Poem offering

I did say that I was going to write something in lieu of the poem with my inktober offering. This is what I wrote. See you tomorrow with my day six inktober.

Inktober day two

The prompt for today is Tranquility.

©2018 Patricia Harris

As the breeze blowing

Rocks my hammock,

I see that moment

Of tranquility,

Nothing to weigh me

Except my own mind.

Hiding in recess of this

Fantasy,

Looking at this imaginary tree.

Knowing that this island

Is far from reality,

Still for this moment

I relax into the much needed

Tranquility.

Inktober #1

Prompt : Poisonous

I started with the mushrooms,

Ground finely don’t you see.

Then I gathered leaves

From the poisonous tree.

I picked it clean,

With no thought at all,

To what that would mean.

I mixed them all up

Adding belladonna seeds,

With just enough water

To make it liquid to suit the needs.

So in my pocket is the vial,

Hand mixed by me,

Made up of mushrooms and

The poisonous tree.

What will I do?

With the vial you ask,

I will hold it safe

Until the goodbye last.

Creatives Rising

Coming on June 21st, 2018 is the new Creatives Rising E-Zine – For Creatives by Creatives!!

I am a #contributor for this Summer issue and I am so excited to tell you about it!

We were given themes to choose from and I chose Liberation. I submitted one of my digital abstracts. I see abstracts as liberating for both myself and the viewers, as each person sees an abstract differently.

Want to check out the creative work this issue will be showcasing? Here’s the link to subscribe to this amazing e-zine:
