Today the prompt was thought provoking. If you are interested in joining the poetic travels… Here’s the first one Poetic Asides. I will post the link with the poems that come of it. I am going to in addition to the planned posts, in November, try to post the daily poem. If you do join me, comments are welcomed of your take on the prompt. Now… If I don’t do the prompt, I will still be posting the poem and the prompt I choose in place. Follow me to see more.
So I am not going to lie… I am sitting here procrastinating. I am seriously not awake enough for the cursor blinking at me.
Wish me luck y’all
I have been working on going through my poetry volumes (also did Serena’s novella and her novel). I have been updating covers, double checking layout, spelling and grammar. Now, I published all of them… So I should have been doing very little… And for the newer ones… I have been doing less. I was an indie publisher from the get go… But I really had no clue what I was doing. I designed my covers but I didn’t have access to the tools that I have now. I have learned. I have grown.
The first image is the first cover, the second is the newest. Just because I was not knowledgeable doesn’t mean that I approached publishing as a hobby. Hobbyist, in my opinion are the ones who don’t actually put in any effort to improve how they do things.
I have two more volumes of poetry…Music for the soul and soul’s door. I think that I am finally happy with how they look. I think that I will put off the cleanup/ refresh of my kids books until December as November is shaping up to be very busy.
What is the difference between pro and hobbyist to you?
Not trying to jinx anything, but I put in an application to be in the winter edition of Creative Rising E-zine. Keep those fingers crossed and I will update you as more info comes in.
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.
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.
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.
And
Www.questionablecontent.net
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.
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.
