Eleven revisited.

Sorry for the delay on that poem. But it was just too much for my tired brain this morning.

I actually discussed with a fellow author/poet why we as creators need sleep. She said that there was not enough hours in the day and wondered why she needed sleep… My response : because without sleep you cannot make the thoughts. without the thoughts you cannot make the art and poetry and words. That is a sad. do not make the sad.
Well this week I have been making the sad. Way too little sleep and trying to do too much. My blog has been updated daily, I have been doing a poem daily, a drawing daily, and an Instagram challenge. I have added about 500 words to my latest children’s book (Attack of Shoe Mountain). I have done some work on the player’s guide for my gaming group. I have made some Christmas presents (resin earrings mostly) and a birthday present for my sister’s beautiful 25 year old daughter. And all of the other household and personal chores that come up daily. So as you can see I have been busy. I tried to keep up but sleep failed. It happens. But I am now caught up. I thank you all for your patience.

Teaser please

I have been working on a Instagram challenge this month. #igwritersoct. A lot of it is taking pictures of my writing tools and books. But today is #teasertuesday and the topic was Teaser. Now… I could have just posted a Teaser for Life, Guilt, and Undeath… Serena can always use the exposure. But I am getting near to having this book done.

Timing and verse

So I have been very sick or this post would have been made last week. I have finished writing the poetry for Temporal Verse. I am working on layout and will be posting links soon.

I am going to be doing the inktober challenge… And I will post the pictures of it daily. However, I will likely not be posting long descriptions with. As that would make it harder for me. Inktober, for the uninformed, is a daily drawing challenge. I will not promise that mine will be the best art out there, as the challenge draws some amazeballs artists. I am going to try to post here and twitter and instagram.

Then I plan on doing the pad challenge in November, and Serena is doing Nanowrimo. So I will try to post some of the results, poetry and teasers for her. I am not going to promise that because I may not have any extra time.

I have started branching into other places to sell my books. Draft2digital offers me options for many venues. I will be next week doing a post up with the links that I have already, and I will attempt to update it monthly.

There have been discussions on doing an audiobook version of Rust, Gore, and the Junkyard Zombie as a anniversary release. If we do it, then it will be May.

I have a couple of poems from the new volume to share, I will do it in a separate post. This is mostly just upcoming news. ☺

Also, I have been posting on Facebook a poll. The title for my next volume of poetry… I am leaving in fan hands. Cast your vote.

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:

Social media sharing

I am a strange duck. I honestly hate sharing what I write. It is so much of my soul and I am always afraid of what other people will say. So I struggle with my anxiety and I share it when I can. The above list really does not cover all of the social outlets. I have more, and am always finding new ones even still. That is the list of my most visited places.

Which social media outlets are your favorite and why? Is there any you avoid? Why?

Upcoming! Announcement!

IMG_20180520_142522_700#announcement my art will be in the summer edition of Creatives Rising E-zine! Keep an eye on my social media for dates and links!

That time of the year

This is the hard time for me to keep up with my blog. So I apologize. Between sick, which seems to be a yearly thing, and birthdays… February and March are busy months for me. I am also working out the details for publishing another poetry volume (Soul Door), a novel as Serena (Rust, Gore, And the Junkyard Zombie) and I have a poem that I submitted to a new E-zine (Creatives Rising)

that is releasing soon. I am also still writing more poetry and the next novel. I will be updating this blog as I can, and I promise that I will post a couple more poems here by the end of the week. Still, Please have patience with my erratic updates.

Poetry

©2017 by Patricia Harris

Tumblr is calling,
Porn and poetry,
Pitching me closer
To ecstasy.

Social media with no
Social anxiety.
The ability to hide out
From reality.

Though I am there
For all to see
I can hide inside
My own anonymity.

Productivity Faeries

So I am on almost all of the social media outlets…. Though it is hit or miss on some as to how often. Tumblr is not something that I am on quite as often…. And yes I use it for poetry not porn…. Lol. It has been the best for poetry prompts. I really like prompts, as it gives me a focus to help the muse.

I finished writing Word Petals, my latest volume of poetry. However, editing and layout will be putting the likely release in January. Still, It meant that I needed a new volume. So I put in play one of the titles that I have in reserve, Soul’s Door. The new volume is already started.

Rust, Gore, and the Junkyard Zombie is still in the first round of edits. We just moved in a new home so I have been very busy, and the edits have been back burnered a couple of times. It is a priority but I have to have things like coffee and clean clothes for my editing time.

The blog/newsletter that I am doing with my sister is up and doing well. We post at least four times a week, often more…. Makes me feel like I am neglecting this one, though I have even gotten better at keeping it up.

If you are wanting to find me on the various social media outlets…. I am pattimouse nearly everywhere. Or just comment and I will answer.
