Monday poetry

for some reason this did not post properly on Monday….

Monday poetry

Two from Serena Mossgraves for a change.

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

Art for me is such a multi formatted thing. Right now it is too damn cold…but I want to go play with my resin again. This is a picture of a piece I did a few years ago.

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

Two things. One I was trying to clear the unattached media files and I messed up my blog images…(Yeah I know I screw up a lot.) Two this is the monster in a story Serena is working on. A huge gelatinous spider….

Poetry and Interpretations

As many of you know I try to use Serena for my more gothic pieces. I posted the above in a poetry group on Facebook. A private one as I was not ready to share it. In my mind it spoke of finding reasons to live…Facebook flagged it as speaking about suicide or self harm.

I have had my poetry with Serena misunderstood before.

This one I wrote about the Dahlia Murders…and I was promptly told I was writing about the female anatomy.

I am saddened by the removal because I would have loved to have the other poets feedback…but I guess that was Facebook telling me I wrote something worth censoring.

Monday poetry

one from me and one from Serena Mossgraves

Wild Wednesday

Ever seen something and felt like it was you?

My Daughter introduced me to a new anime. Ascendence of a Bookworm.

The lead character is a fragile little girl who is in love with books. It’s an isekai. She is reincarnated from Japan. Into a world where books are rare.

So since she can’t have books, she is determined to make her own.

The story is amazing and apparently there’s manga… so now I’m craving the manga.

I will be looking into getting them.

Monday poetry

One from each of us

Feeling like I did Something

Well…I finished writing Queer Verbage which will not release until April…it seems so far away…but it is one less thing I have hanging over me. I can do the formatting and get the stuff done for publishing.
I cannot explain why the need to finish it was so strong, but having it done is a weight off. Now I have Tears of the Broken, Dream Drops, Fighting Ignorance, Ocular Dystopia, Occult Madness in progress for me and Chasing Ghosts for Serena.
When I mentioned to my Daughter how I felt like I was struggling with it, she said I was pushing too hard. She said that if I worked any harder she would never get to see me. Sorry, she comes first there. But it did make me wonder…what is the right amount? I try to write as I feel the urge, but I also try to set a daily goal so I actually get forward progress on more than just the poetry volumes…because I tend to get easily distracted from my stories. I am aware there is a discipline to this…and I am a child of chaos.
So where is the happy medium for me? That is something I am going to be working with over the next few weeks. I need to set me a workable time schedule for writing and work that I can stick to…or at least attempt to. Let’s see how that goes?

Wild Wednesday

Y’all. I have a new car!

I have wanted this car since I was 15 years old.

We only got it because the price was right. And we needed a vehicle that could hold the 3 of us.

But…

Still. It is a VW bug.

I’m a little bit giddy. It is seriously my dream car.

The bulbs for the low beams need replaced. There’s a crack in the windshield. The glovebox handle needs replaced. The door handle on the driver side needs replaced. The driver’s window sticks. The car is in serious need of cleaning. The exhaust needs replaced. It needs an oil change and a tune up.

We paid a thousand for it.

We are going to probably be a couple of months before we can afford to get it All repaired (as we have to pay the loan off we borrowed to buy it to begin with first.) But we own it.

Picture is from the ad- I have not been able to get some of it in person yet.

Of course, since I can’t afford to do anything else… I have been window shopping on Amazon for fun accessories for my new car. What do you do when you are excited for something and can’t do anything with it?
