The Sunday Review for September 8, 2013

The September 8, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
The Sunday Review - Blog. Tell us about your week. Include your favorite blog entry from your fellow challengers from the preceding week and, most importantly, why.

A Sunday review
is always somewhat sad
because means contemplating opportunities lost.

Poems Written or Finished

The poems I wrote during the first week of September 2013 are (1) "Sylvia's Thirteenth Birthday Present" , (2) "The Missing Years" , (3) "The Aftermath of Prayer" , (4) "Joe's Tie" , (5) "Beautiful Rain" , (6) "Even Now" , (7) "Prelude to Writer's Block" , and (8) "Judging Reviews" . I finished the poem "Jean and the Warlock Elders" .

A Sunday review
is also a joyful experience
because it means looking at accomplishments.

Short Story

During the week of September 1 to September 7, 2013, I wrote one short story in response to a "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  prompt. I posted "Story Time: I Know You Can Keep a Secret"  in this blog.

A Sunday review,
after fighting depression and worry,
reveals battles won over writer's block.

The Seven Blog Entries I liked
in no specific order

1: LostGhost: Seeking & Learning "Thirteen"  because of the first crush.
2: Shaye "Invalid Entry"  because it included the Addams Family Theme Song.
3: Fivesixer "This one's about new stuff and mouths."  because I just like this entry.
4: abcoachnz-Sometimes around "Ode to being 13 again"  because I like this entry.

A Sunday review
is not enough for personal transformation,
I need to review each day's actions.
