had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
Blogville (XGC) Where bloggers meet and greet to read and share. No required prompt. Alias: blogville. #2253938 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
SandraLynn Team Florent! You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
PiriPica Norway is near and dear to my heart but I cancelled in 2022 because I was ill and 2023 has been Thailand. If I get to go May 17 2024 I want to be in Lillehammer. Vi får se.
I agree, it's never the same to just have pictures. It's all the different sensory impressions that make up a memory, not just sight. Love hearing about your impressions from Norway, thank you.
As I shared with runningwolf04 I was fascinated by foreign places as a child. Couldn't go anywhere! But I decided to run away to Kansas for school and then I went to Costa Rica (which was an emotional disaster I wasn't prepared for). That stopped my travels ... well that and poverty. Still, I learned something from living in small towns in the Cornbelt, from staying with friends in Canada, from living on my own in the city, from moving on-purpose to a Black inner-city neighborhood, from running away again (hello rural Oklahoma!), from being homeless and finally from moving in 2008 to a college town in Montana. It was NOT a smooth journey.
In 2009 I went back to Costa Rica, in 2011 England, 2012 Scandinavia, 2013 Europe, 2015 around the World, 2017 Taiwan...
What I'm saying, in a round about way, is that each step, no matter how frightening, full of hope or painful lead to my ability to take the next step. After all the years and tears I have a certain self-confidence that I was lacking growing up. It's taking a long time, like the Velveteen Rabbit, for me to become me.

"To My Muse" by Roari ∞
To mini-review: I really like this old piece. I give it a 4.0. To make it more poetic I'd suggest taking out a couple useless words, using 's instead of is, then reading out loud to correct the rhythm. Rhythm is especially important to this piece because rhyme is not and it already has a fairly good rhythm as I only stumbled in a couple places.
Thematically, it's a lament about a relationship. In this case Writer versus Muse. I'm amused by that because I've had this internal conversation (at least I 'thought' it was internal ).
Space blog: "The poem was about writer's block. That begs the question: What do you do for Writer's block?"
Put a pen to paper, fingers on the keypad. I don't get this 'writer's block' everyone seems to anguish over. If one way seems blocked I just take another route. I vomit on the page and clean up later. I'm a pantser... cleaning up later... or never. I do have wash clothes handy and spare underwear. I do not suffer from blockage.
