30 Day Blogging Challenge Find a piece of nature that you can hold in your hand (leaf, twig, rock, berry, etc). Describe it as closely and carefully as you can. Use any means available to you to examine the object (magnifying glass, scale, all of your senses) and practice your descriptive writing skills. My favorite entry today will receive a Nature MB. I found myself getting outside in order to do this connection to nature, but finding a leaf, twig, rock, or berry; that was going to be a little difficult today without having to dig under a mound of cold, white fluff. I stood there encapsulated in winter garb - coat, mitts, hat, scarf, and boots. I held out my hand and captured snowflakes the size of dimes. On my navy mitts I could almost make of the intricate designs of the flakes. No two exactly the same. Individual, yet similar. One moment visible and frosty, the next gone vaporized by the heat of my breath. Around me the world is blanketed in a gown of white, lacy gauze. It's like looking through a bridal vale. Angelic and virginal, yet dangerous... beautifully dangerous. The snow still falls, but now the flakes have altered. The snowflakes are now smaller and falling faster than before. The wind cuts down the street tipping the flakes so that they no longer fall straight down, but swirl and dance chasing each other on the horizontal. The roads are almost empty and those that do drive by, are going slowly so as not to slide through the stop signal just up the street. My outer gear is covered with a sheen of white, as I turn and head back under the car port's overhang. Here, I am out of the wind. I shiver at the frigid cold as I head back inside. Today is the kind of day to stay in front of a fire and not go anywhere. Blog City - Day 1861 Have you set a writing plan for 2019? If not why not? Do you feel planning makes you more productive or less productive? I have writing goals for 2019. One is to write everyday - at least 750 words. I have also signed up to do a contest a week for the whole year and to do 12 stories in 12 months. I am also blogging everyday for the month of January. I also want to continue to work on my Nano novel. I have not set a planning schedule. I am keeping it pretty open, but writing everyday makes meeting my goals within my grasp. |
