Today’s Prompt was a fill in the blank. “In the (Blank)”. Those that are my facebook friends have seen me trying to do to-do lists the last few days. They are never long…usually four or five items…but it wears me out. So I am fighting exhaustion and trying to celebrate my wins.
The laundry is caught up.
Dishes are nearly there.
Bathrooms are clean. (Well the two that I can get to)
The laundry room is clean.
All the clothes are folded…not put away yet, but folded.
My bedroom is halfway there.
Joe’s room is clean.
I have finished Layout on all but one of the Kid’s books for kid’s week(The final one is waiting on the illustrator. He had a cord malfunction and couldn’t send in the art yet. Poor guy)
I have started getting preorders set up for the kid’s week books. *Links will be in a post on the Fae Corps blog when I finish the getting of the preorder links….
I have written a poem a day for everyday in November so far and got a little bit of a word count in Sea Wytch.
I did my grocery shopping for November. And came in under budget.
I have started my christmas shopping.
I made it to therapy.
I have remembered my medicine over half of the time…(I set another set of reminders on my phone…seriously the only reason I remember to eat half of the time is the dizzy feeling I get when I forget.)
I have stayed Hydrated…
See I am killing this…even if there are days when my body says I am killing me. I created a to-do list for self care. So far it has morning and night meds, and art…(Therapist said art was self care!)
What did you do today? Let us celebrate the win together.
I am going to try to post my poem every day from the PAD Challenge. I am terrible at doing that…lol. I also do not know if I am going to only do one of them or not. I found a couple of options. I usually do the writer’s digest version(Linked above.) But sometimes the prompt does not hit properly. Fae Corps is also posting a daily prompt in November, just as we do in April and November every year.
Today’s Prompt from Writer’s Digest was either Beginning or end.
What would you do with that prompt? What would you do with the Fae Corps Prompt? If you aren’t doing poetry are you doing NANOWRIMO? Tell me about your project. I am really interested in what others are doing this year.
Well I am surprised. Handprints is releasing November 18th. I have been writing in Thoughtcicles and I have found it is flowing. It is already at 50 out of the 70 poems. Doing the PAD challenge should have it ready for release by the end of November but I am covered up in book release stuff until after the first of the year. So I am likely to release it in January sometime.
[Verse 1] There is no knowing, no showing Your fragile side Want to be perfect, untouchable Like the sky It’s so misleading, believing That fear inside Don’t let the light in, they’ll see it Behind your eyes
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain insidе you? Down we
[Verse 2] You’re stuck with playing and gaining Traumatic times Want to bе stronger, the story Of your whole life This kind of reckless seems endless It comes to fight So you’re not breathing, just bleeding Oh, what a sight
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain inside you? Down we
[Bridge] Down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain inside you? Down we
My 2 Cents – My daughter often introduces me to new music…and it gets stuck in my head. The lyrics on this one really kind of hit for me. What song is stuck in your head and why?
