Well I ended up a half an hour before I had to be. So I am going to squander it on hot creamy coffee. I do one third of my cup in cream. I use the powdered type, so today it is French vanilla.
I will wish you have as nummy a coffee as I have.

Word games
I’m considering adding this to my patreon as a regular segment. How many word games do you know? I know several. Today we will look at my favorite. Most likely I will be doing the others over on patreon.
Not sure when I started playing this game…. I know I would play it as a teenager. The rules are simple…
Pick a letter A-z… I have been known to pick them all…
Using the letter chosen give me a list (without using Google or looking it up any other way.) I usually choose names, but it can be more challenging. (I. E. Verbs, fruits, drinks, authors, vehicles, etc) but everything in that list must begin with the chosen letter and must be of the topic. The goal is to do better than before. My best was two notebook pages front and back filled three names wide.
Not that I want to make it awkward for you to respond…. But I will (mostly as an example) put my “B” names here.

Ok… See how to do it? I can do more but I wanted just to show how. How many words in your list? And what is your list? C’mon, play with me.
Tuesday tea party
I think that I am in a chatty mood. Tea parties are for chatting, right? Today I want to talk hobbies. What are some of yours, and do you think that a person can have too many? I honestly pick up a new one each year. I have writing, which is no longer a hobby but more of an occupation now. I have drawing and digital art. I have painting, both acrylic and recently obtained water colors. (I am still not certain how I feel about water colors). I have jewelry design and crafting. (I make some really adorable earrings.) I have resin crafting. I crochet, though badly. I am about to add bath bomb making as well. (It was my daughter’s birthday request. She wants to have a craft we can do together and she is interested in bath bombs.) Of course I have reading, but I really don’t see that as a hobby. I have gaming, both video games and tabletop. I run a biweekly game in D20 style. I have been running games since third edition D&D came out. Currently I run a mish mash of pathfinder and 3.5. I looked into fourth edition and yeah… It’s not for me. I have been looking at fifth. I’m not really impressed. I would love to hear your opinion.
I have been considering adding soap and candlemaking to my activities. I think it would be fun. I took a class 20 years ago in candlemaking. The teacher made it over complex. I remember that I enjoyed it though. I think that the new melt and pour soap bases and the inexpensive soy wax options make both activities easier for me to access. Now I just need to convince my boyfriend that I don’t have too many hobbies… Hmm he may be right though. What is your opinion? Is it possible to do too many crafts? I really want you to tell me about your hobbies, where is your passions?
Religion and holidays
Not sure if it has come up here yet, but I am pagan. As such we celebrate Yule. So I am not going to be doing much here this week as I plan on spending the holiday enjoying my family. Next week I should be back on track. I may be posting an announcement this week as the next Creatives Rising E-Zine is coming up soon. Once I have the full information I will post it. Otherwise, Happy Holidays to you and yours… Whichever holiday you celebrate.
Monday Poetry
Teaser Tuesday
The holidays have me busy… Add in some sort of stomach bug…. So I only have a single teaser for you today.
Thursday reviews
Emily’s book of the Strange by Rob Reger
This is wonderfully illustrated. It’s a cute little goth story based upon the illustration. I truly enjoyed it.
I wanted to note that I set up the Monday poetry post to schedule and thought that it posted. Apparently the scheduling of posts are not working right for my WordPress. It may cause some hiccups in my timeline. I hope to continue with the posts during the week. Just a reminder I will not be posting next week due to the holiday. I will be back the Monday after Thanksgiving with more poetry. And I will be doing another post on world building tomorrow.

1. Disaster
2. Quiet
3. Loud
Ok I know that today was supposed to be teaser Tuesday. Only problem is that I have been sick for three days… That stupid weather change sniffles thing. I have been trying to keep up with everything but Serena’s nano novel has suffered. We are passed the 10k mark… But then it kinda got back burner treatment because of the sick. I refuse to post the same teasers. I respect you too much for that. I do have the rest of the week. And Teaser Tuesday may not be a every week thing. I will attempt to at least update you on how the writing is going, even if I can’t do a teaser. On that note, Spilled verse is coming along. I already have six or seven poems out of the seventy needed(all of the volumes I publish have at least seventy poems).
All of the links are listed on my post Links updated. I post them every so often as to bump them up on my blog.
Thanksgiving week I will not be posting. Family time, not internet time and all of that. Hopefully you all have a miraculous holiday.
Oh and be sure to check out my second world building post on Friday.
Pad alone
Prompt Tired of (Blank)Poem A Day challenge
Today was game day. I have a group that meets twice a month, We play D20 tabletop rpgs. I Do the gm’ing most of the time. we occasionally alternate to give me a chance to play. It runs for the whole afternoon. I usually cook dinner and we just generally have a good time. Well today was that day. Between that and the PAD challenge, I am just plain wiped out. This means that Serena’s nano is lacking words today. I am hoping to make that up this week. Monday I have some new poems to share. I am likely going to schedule the post tomorrow. I am hoping to get some scheduled posts to take some of the pressure off. Thank you all for being with me through this. it helps.
Beginning of the end
Inktober is drawing to a close. There is one more week. Hopefully you have enjoyed the offerings I have been posting. After Inktober ends, Nanowrimo and the pad challenge will begin. I am hoping to start the new schedule here.
I am slightly sad that it will not be including my art as a daily thing. So I may have to share some randomly. Or I may share it to my patreon. (Www.Patreon.Com/pattimouse)
Today the prompt is prickly.
