Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

This Week I have been focusing on Stolen skins. It’s for the fall anthology from Fae Corps. The Anthology is pirate themed.

I didn’t get as much as I wanted written.

the truth is that this week was not a health issue. not in the traditional sense. my monitor was dying and I was having a panic because of it. y’all that monitor has been strong for us for a while now and it dying was like losing a member of the family. we bought it when we were in Oklahoma for a tv and console monitor. it was an upgrade for the 19 inch we got before it. then I started to use it when the boyfriend got him a 50 inch smart tv as his monitor. I have been using it at least since 2017.  So it’s dying was not a good thing for me.

yesterday I was given an early birthday gift as my boyfriend could not stand watching me grieve for it anymore. he got me a 24 inch smart tv to replace it. yeah it’s smaller but it’s functional and I can watch tv on it too. so I am hoping to get some work done this week. (my birthday is in March)

Okay… The new year has made me reconsider the way I have been doing things with my blog. When possible I will be trying to schedule it as much ahead as possible. This way I don’t fall as much behind. The Artsy Fartsy Thursday is good for this. I want to change my way of posting it as well. At least one Thursday a month I think I want to actually talk about art. Not just posting my own.  This way I don’t feel like I am so often just getting away from writing.  Sometimes it might be just discussion on art social media…or I will talk about techniques. this will be a single post each month for me to tell you what my mind says art is.

Art is seriously perspective based.

For some reason every artist I have ever met has been so filled with doubt.

Art is full of various ideas and thoughts. The media used changes what the artist has had to learn to make the art work.

Lyrics –

Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all, there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself time-after-time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
Oh, yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each other’s help, there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice, if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days
Okay

I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

My 2 cents –

you know what… the world is too hard right now. dreams are good. be creative. be crazy. Dream. Dream Big.

Monday Poetry

Poetry



I don’t often talk about my poetry, preferring to leave the interpretation to the reader. However, This one hurt. writing it was the most painful piece I have ever done. The piece that inspired it was posted by a friend on Facebook. and I shall post it here so I am not alone.

Pablo Neruda was an Amazing poet. It hurts that his words still echo even though time should have rendered a softness to them.

Sunday Reviews

Revenge Body by Rachel Wiley

Revenge Body is Rachel Wiley’s third collection of poetry, full of the sharp wit and bold honesty we know and love from Rachel. Wiley invites her readers to join her on a journey filled with righteous anger, Black identity, magic, mental health, navigating maternal relationships, and the love and loss that comes from a breakup.

My Thoughts

Anyone who reads my blog knows that I love Poetry. This one touches my soul. The poet speaks from the heart about topics that hit close to home. They can be found reciting some of their poetry on Button poetry’s YouTube.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

Beauty standards was actually already started. I started it at the beginning of November – 468 words in. I simply forgot to list it due to the chaos of my own health… I found the story and wanted to write more so I added it to the list.

I spent most of my time asleep this week but when I was awake I managed a lot of writing. I am going to speak a bit more on it in the post on Monday.

This week I plan on saving something for the art and poetry (Monday and Thursday ) . Simply because of the content I plan on posting,

I think I am finally getting over this stupid sinus infection let’s hope ..
