PAD Day 13

Today the prompt was late…as in at almost 10 it is still not up. I chose to use a prompt I already had – Ghosted.

Pad day 12

The prompt today did not inspire ( it was to write a future poem)… however I was stuck in a loop dream last night. So I used that. Pad challenge prompts are not a binding contract of you must write about this… they are just ideas that are to inspire the creative process. I post one myself to the Fae Corps Publishing Blog every day in November and in April. I personally use the Writer’s Digest version- see my previous Pad day posts for that link. Or I search Tumblr for poetry prompts. Inspiration is always out there if you are willing to look for it.

This is such a pretty verse.

Today the prompt was scary. For me, my own sanity is often the scariest thing out there….

William Blake often has a really great rhyme scheme but many of his poems are dry on the imagery…this one is different. I love the images in it.

Today the prompt was struggle.

Pad day 9

Today the prompt was not able to inspire me. (Blank of the blank where you replace the blanks) and that’s okay. Sometimes the volume title requires a little bit of inspiration to make it feel like it fits. There’s always at least one poem that I have titled the same. And sometimes there are others that fit in the same general idea as the title. I wrote the title poem yesterday and I chose to do this one today. As long as I am writing a poem a day I believe it still counts 😊.

This is my Favorite by Sara Teasdale. It was in Up A Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. The scene was reinforced by the poem. The Cold nature of the poem…it just speaks to my soul

Thought, thoughtcicles, and release

So, I have been thinking about when I should release thoughtcicles. Handprints on my soul releases on the 18th. Then the first week of December is Kid’s week. Fae Corps is releasing 2 of my kids books and 3 from other authors. That means that I have been busy with getting them together. I always do a vacation from the publishing from the end of kid’s week until after the first of the year. Three weeks. I could do it during the break…but I feel like I am just asking for burn out if I don’t take the break. I really didn’t expect to finish the volume so quickly. I think that I will schedule it for the end of January so I don’t have to go without the break.

Next year is already looking like a busy year. We are publishing a book by Ruan Bradford Wright. Probably another by Raz T Slasher. I am hoping that we will see the next one from Ashira Datya. Maybe book two from Andrew McDowell? We will have to see. I know that there will be a book from DW Storer. Add in my poetry volumes and I see it as a busy year. The anthologies are also a thing. The blog for Fae Corps Publishing will have more exact details as we have them. Currently I am in charge of the blog there as well.

So, I think that I would be best to remember that I am not supergirl and pace myself. January is soon enough for the release of Thoughtcicles.
