O'siyo Oginalii Tsilugi - Hello friends - Welcome - to My first blog. A place to share. |
 Dream Catchers An ancient Chippewa tradition The dream net has been made For many generations Where spirit dreams have played. Hung above the cradle board, Or in the lodge up high, The dream net catches bad dreams, While the good dreams slip on by. Bad dreams become entangled Among the sinew thread. Good dreams slip through the center hole, While you dream upon your bed. This is an ancient legend, Since dreams will never cease, Hang this dream net above your bed, Dream on, an be at peace.  |
| Hello, if you are out there. No....I don't....think....I going crazy....yet! I am just here to talk about the book I am trying to write. I got as far as the premise. Some of it was really strong...great! Some of it was weak. I could really see this after someone I really admire and respect pointed that out. I needed something really unique about my character, Venecus, that would make her so valuable that her enemy would come after her not once but twice. I had her sketched out, but I went back and though I have her fleshed out, her profile is still, to me, a bit of a shell and needs more. I have been doing some research on magic in fiction. I am going to see if I can make this the guarded element that is sought after. Be back later. Kristina |
| Prompt: Food is essential to our existence although it is not always in the best possible combination. Tell us about the worst food combination experience you've had. Did you make it or did someone else? Goodness, what a loaded question. My son's wife insists on doing the cooking, and of course, no one can tell her something that she doesn't already know. Sooooooooooooo, I had to really think on this because there has been so many. The one I finally decided on was her version of enchiladas served with fried potatoes and corn. She makes with unseasoned canned chicken (no onions) wrapped in flour tortillas, and covered with green sauce. I sit down and take as little as I can get away with and smile sweetly as I force it down.  To save myself I will throw mine together (I make both beef and cheese and onion) for a breath of air.  I can't very well hurt her feelings, now can I.Kristina |
| I love the word generator! Can you write something with these words? judgement, burning, fashion, cynic, consumer and bloodthirsty |
"Old memories are very easy to get, except that once you write about something, you've destroyed it. You no longer have the memory. You only have the memory of what you've written"- Annie Dillard. Do you agree or disagree? Does this change how you think about using your memories as writing material? What a fantastic prompt. I have to say that I both agree and disagree. I written a small amounts of my years that I was blessed with my late husband, Barry. Those memories still burn deep within, and I was glad to share. They were extraordinary with an extra ordinary man. I have not let lose of others because they are quite personal. We had our good times as well as out bad, just like everyone else. At times I will tend to unlock one or two just to helps me to relive it again. It lets me remember how I felt, what I smelled, saw, and the pain that I felt. April 25, is almost here. That was the day the Doctor's told me that there nothing more they could do for him, and I had to terminate his life support system.—but I will never forget the times we had together, whether or not I choose write about them. Sometimes I think it helps, to keep my memories—forever. Kristina |
| BCOF: Tell us about a place you pass by every day, ...does it make you happy or sad? There is a place that pass by, however it is not everyday. It is a corner that I turn on to go to Office Max or Walmart. On the corner, is always some man. He is shabbily dressed, unshaven, thin, and holding a sign that says,Will work for food. Happy or sad would define what I feel—but guilty would. I am afraid to stop because I have absolutely no clue as to who he is or what type of person he is, yet at the same time I wish I could do something. Kristina |

| http://www.thefactsite.com/category/celebrities Do you ever look up information about celebrities? Do you believe their lives are really that entertaining or is what we read the work of a good publicist to promote them? I've included a link of some examples. Have you ever fantasized about being a celebrity yourself? Who Me??? A celebrity? Na I am lucky to survive as me. They may have money, fame, and all that stuff—but they are not exempt from everyday human life. They have their ups and downs, their good points and downfalls—just like me. Theirs, however, are highly publicized. I'll just stay where I am at and write.  Kristina |
| Well, today has been one of those days. You know the kind, the kind that not much of anything comes to mind but sleep. The Spring-Summer-Winter, Winter-Spring-Summer days are taking it's toll. Friday was beautiful, rained Saturday, and last night we had thunder, lightening and rain. Cloudy today, so I expect more rain tonight. I had hoped to go outside (I love the Sun) to read and study more for my outline—but that didn't happen. Instead, I worked on some of it inside. I am hoping the weather and my mood improves tomorrow.  Kristina |
| The hen house had been very busy that week, preparing for the upcoming day of Easter. Henrietta, the head hen, made sure all the nests were in proper order. The Master would be in anytime to deliver his usual encouragement. Suddenly, Henrietta jerked her head up and gave out a loud cackle, "Places everyone quick, here he comes!" Scurrying to their nests, silence quickly fell over the hen house as the heavy footsteps stopped inside the door. "OK, you gals, it's that time of the year, either you produce or you'll find yourself in the pot!" For a week these little hens worked very hard and by the eve of Easter had reached their quota. The Master returned and found them hanging over their piles of eggs; each measuring three feet high. Exhausted, they laid there with their wings drooping to their sides and their little red tongues extending out of the corners of their beaks. Taking out his cell phone, he placed it to his ear and called his marketing partner, Peter. OK PETER TAKE IT AWAY Here comes Peter Cottontail Hoppin' down the bunny trail Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way Bringing every girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy Things to make your Easter bright and gay He's got jelly beans for Tommy colored eggs for sister Sue There's an orchid for your mommy And an Easter bonnet too Here comes Peter Cottontail Hoppin' down the bunny trail Hippity Hoppin', HAPPY EASTER DAY Lyrics by Water "Jack" Rollins - First performed by Gene Autry back in the 1950's |
DAY 1239: April 6, 2016 Prompt: "Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again." Joseph Campbell Where is your sacred space? My Sacred Space {/cMy sacred space is my bedroom. Though I live with five little guys, well I should say four little guys and one little gal, they are all terrier-mix, rescued dogs. It is a quiet place where I can think, read, give birth to characters, write (invent), watch t.v., and just relive my memories. Believe me when I say, my little guys know how sacred it is me they won't let anyone in.Kristina |
| Prompt: Funny hat, crazy shoes, weird handbag, frizzy hair, Thick, black rimmed glasses—I'm so ready for this interview! Write a story or a poem about this interview. Sprawled out on the couch with a bowel of popcorn, she picked her cell phone. Through a muffled yawn, she put it to her ear. "Hello?' "Yes, Miss Stevens, this is Mr. Anderson at the Federal Building, and I am calling to schedule an appointment for the public secretary job that you applied for. Can you come in at ten this morning? "Oh! yes sir, I'll be there!" She was so excited and could hardly wait. Rushing through a shower, she applied her black eye and lipstick make-up, pulled on her multi-colored, bleached spotted jean skirt, and her fringed covered tan blouse. Taking one last glance in the mirror, she pulled up the sides of her long frizzy black hair with purple and green streaks up and dawned her hat. She had to repositioned it so the drooping flower was in the back. She grabbed her purse, shaped like saddle bags, threw them over shoulder and left. I am so ready for this interview. Standing in front of the doors of the Federal Building, she drew a deep breath before she pulled open the front door. The halls grew quiet and the large crowd of people parted as she passed through them. The hall remained quiet. How sweet, they knew I was coming. The only sound she heard was the thump of the thick heels of her orange shoes decked out with pink pom-poms. Mr. Anderson's office was on the third floor. She paused before she knocked on the door. "Come in." She entered. She heard him choke. Stepping back and nearly tipping over his chair, he gasped. "Who...Who... are you? "Sir, I'm Ms. Stevens, and you called this morning for an interview?" "AH, yes...please sit down and get this over withah I mean get started." After five minutes, he stood and extended his hand. "I'll have my secretary give you a call—good day Ms. Stevens." Before she could stand and leave, he choked his way through the side office door. Kristina |
BCOF :A Theme is bit more relaxed, giving the writer control over what words are used as long as the story or poem stays in the overall context of the writing prompt.The words themselves don’t have to be included in the writing if the author so wishes as long as the theme of the story or poem … write a short story or poem using the theme of... Magic lost… Susie's little wings dropped, and her tears fell like rain. She couldn't find her magic stone, She bowed her head and her shoulders drooped. Then she saw a light, Her magic stone was insight. The little Fay spread her wings, She flew up and all around, Keeping up with the birds as they all played and sang. See, little Susie keep your faith, Your magic stone was not lost. Kristina |

I am getting bored of Netflix and Viki. I think I've watched all the good shows now... now my new binge - Kindle Unlimited... and of course, work and writing!
