This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
This week is an odd one. You will probably notice that the numbers have changed very little. That is because the writing was not something that I would list.
I wrote a new children’s book.
I wrote the outline for a story that I plan on writing soon but I didn’t actually write anything in the story yet.
I wrote stuff in emails for various reasons that kept my brain busy and away from my more creative adventures.
I wrote in my personal journal that is labeled as word vomit and will hopefully not see sunlight ever.
As you can see, none of them would end up on the list. The first one is completely written. this list is works in progress. the second one is only an idea at this point and not even started as far as I am concerned. the third is not creative at all. and the fourth is clearing the trash so I can write.
Some weeks are like this for me. These are the ones where I do more art or crafting because my brain has decided to be difficult when I try to write.
On the craft side…we decided to move my studio into the house to give me access to electricity and more space. This week I spent quite some time sorting and organizing the new craft room. My son moved everything inside for me (except for one table which we need to make space for first) And I have been sorting through and cleaning up my supplies. I will try to take pictures and post it when I get it done. Unfortunately, I have overdone. Which is frustrating and painful.
okay I will admit that a lot of the poetry I write has a darker tone. my art is more childish but it too has some dark tones. I will say it is because of my life thus far.
There’s whimsy and love notes mixed in the dark things. I recently got a comment on one of my poems that bothered me. I am sure that it was from a good place, but what if it wasn’t.
I mean I don’t want my poetry or art to push someone to the point of no return. please if my words make you feel like you need to do something drastic ….stop. you are a light in the world whether you realize it or not.
No one in all of heaven or earth is unimportant.
if you need to send me a message. I will always respond even if I only get to do so once.
This felt more important than Tuesday Tunes. that returns next week.
During delicate negotiations with an aggressive race called the Sindareen, Deanna Troi mysteriously falls ill and dies, and Commander Riker sets out on a journey across time to bring her back to life.
My Thoughts
the problem with trying to do book reviews is I have always been a voracious reader. And while I have met books I didn’t care for those too can make reviews. this book felt like I was revisiting old friends as it was several years after watching the show discovered it. If you enjoyed sttng I recommend this book. the characters were on point. and it feels like it fills in Deanna and rikers story.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos. my birthday was fun and full of shenanigans. (no I will not be exposing them to the world) Those who need to know will … lol
I realized something though. I have forgotten the word for the year. I was supposed to be giving myself GRACE. What that means is though I have goals for the day I need to look at any writing and say I did good… I wrote something. no matter what.
