Poetry 15th-November 2019 Edition

By
Hello there everyone!

I'm in the midst of NaNoWriMo, so things are crazy busy but I did want to pop in with this month's Poetry 15th.


 This month's poem was very difficult to compose. I know I wanted it to be about thankfulness, but I didn't want it to be just a laundry-list of things I was thankful for. Then I stumbled on a whimsical picture of a tree with what appears to be flying notes. I lost the picture but was inspired to make my own. Here is a picture I put together with clip-art on Canva.


So what does this have to do with Poetry 15th? I'm coming to it. It will all make sense in a moment, but first, here is this month's poetry prompt:


Whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, November is a good time to stop and count your blessings. As one of my childhood songs says, "A thankful heart is a happy heart..."
 So here is your chance to post a poem of thankfulness in the comment section or just write your own. You could even use this to write a list of what you are thankful for in your journal (if you do such things), or draw a picture based on this prompt. If you do decide to post your poem in the comment section, please keep a PG rating. 

Here is my response:


If you liked the poem, want to post your own or just want to say hi, please do so in the comment section below. 

Happy writing!

NaNoWriMo Know Your Novel Introduction

This is my first time joining the wonderful  Christine Smith  and a bunch of other wonderful writers in her three-month Know the Novel link-up for writers in these final months of the year. I'm completely nervous, having never done anything like this before, but also very excited.  October's theme is  Introduction  which is the post featured today.  Earlier this month I announced that for the months of October and November I would be switching projects from Harbinger  to Tear   in honor of NaNoWriMo, using this month to prepare. So without further ado, let me introduce you to my novel. KNOW THE NOVEL: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Q 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel? A 1. Well, most of my novel ideas, (no pun intended), come from questions. I had this question pop into my head, "Where does Writer's Block come from?" This story was born out of the quirky answer that I came up with. Q 2. Share a blurb! A 2. I warn you this is an ...

NaNoWriMo Know the Novel: Introduction

I can't believe it's already this time of the year again. Last year I joined Christine Smith   in her three-month Know the Novel link-up. This link-up starts the month before NaNoWriMo and goes through December. If you've been following this blog for more than a year, you'll recognize this series from last year. If you just started following me or are visiting this blog: Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. This month's theme is Introduction  and sets up the groundwork for what I'm doing today.  I've mentioned Harbinger  before. It's a WIP I've been working on for almost six years now. Over the summer I've decided to split it in three books, so now it's the Harbinger Trilogy. The working title for book one is called Sirens of Fate,  and it's this book I will work on for NaNoWriMo. I'm rebelling NaNo, meaning instead of doing this writing challenge traditionally and starting a book from scratch on November 1st, I'm using the c...

NaNoWriMo: Know the Novel Link-Up: Introduction

  *Happy squeak!* I am so excited to be joining  Christine Smith  in her Know the Novel link-up for writers in this festive season of the year. What festive season, you may ask? Why, NaNoWriMo season, of course! *Flings glitter.* Many years ago, I did my first NaNo and started my wild ride or writing and an intense commitment to the craft that has lasted until this very day. (Hopefully it doesn't end here. That would be tragic, and while I do love a good tragedy, I would like for my life not to be tragic. Thank you very much.) *Pull self out of hole she fell in.* Ahem.... Where were we? Oh yes. The link-up. Moving forward. October is the month where we introduce our NaNoWriMo projects to the world, so in the spirit of that, here is my introduction post. KNOW THE NOVEL PART ONE: INTRODUCTION: Introducing: Drop , book #2 of my Drops of Inspira trilogy. Q 1: What first sparked the idea for this novel? A: I actually featured the first book for this link-up series a few years...
