Drops of Inspira

  Hello again! I'm atrociously late with this post, but in my defense, my life was upended late last Saturday and my Wi-Fi access has been spotty. This has also been my first NaNoWriMo without caffeine due to health reasons, so it's been interesting to say the least. Today, I'm answering some questions from  Christine Smith's   Know the Novel series. So, without further ado, let's drop into the questions. KNOW THE NOVEL PART TWO: WITHIN THE WIP: Q1: How's the writing going overall? A:  So, here's the thing... Sometimes, I've been the "Little Engine that Could" and other times I'm a speedy penguin The first half of the month, everything just poured out like liquid gold, but certain life events have slowed things down. It's been hard writing when everyone around you is in panic mode.  Q2: What's been the most fun aspect of writing this novel so far? A: Yup. That's pretty much it.

  Hello Everyone!     It's been some time since I've done a writing update on here so that's what I'll be covering this time around. I'll be dividing updates between three categories: School, Poetry, and Sirens of Fate.     So, school.... I have a poetry explication paper due April 8th. I just started writing it this past week. I've selected Bethany A. Jenning's poem, Diamonds from her book of short stories and poems, Severed Veil . If you navigate to the Reviews   section of the blog, you can read what I wrote about it. At the end of this month, I have a research paper due for my Introduction to Shakespeare class. I still need to pick the topic for that. Poetry news: I've continued to write poetry as I've gotten inspired, but I have yet to write this month's poem for Poetry 15th.  I need to ask someone in the writing community about how to go about writing/ compiling a poetry book.  Sirens of Fate: This is the first book of The Harbinger Trilo...

  Hello! One of my favorite things to do nowadays is watch the play of the sun as it hits the trees and casts shadows across the road. There's this special time of the evening where it's particularly beautiful. It's a magical moment where the world seems to hold its breath and anything can happen. It's a moment where the world seems to stop; a moment trapped in time. My response to this month's prompt came from my observations of this time of day. As always, please feel free to use the prompt below to generate your own creativity.  Here is the prompt: Last week, I took my red Lord of the Rings notebook and my red pen (I really like red. Don't know if you can tell.) and went outside. I found a place where I could watch the road by my house and just sat, observed and listened. I must have sat there for a good half an hour; it was so peaceful! Out of that time came this poem. Now, I'd like to hear from you! When was the last time you simply sat outside, observe...
