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.
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.
queenkissy brings up the thought that "I would never have made it in the publishing world".
I can't argue.
Some MFA programs become cliques and publishing seems to depend on MFA connections these days. Maybe it has always depended on connections.
Or which poet liked you... or didn't. Upset an editor? Black-listed or ignored.
Nowadays there are thousands of places to publish but that doesn't necessarily make it easier to connect a particular work of art with a public that appreciates it. Publishers can either promote or act like gate-keepers.
Me? I need a secretary... and/or a plan to publish (i.e. spend lots of money) with emotional support.
Some of my stories and poems are good enough to be published as is. Others need an edit. That all demands focus on my craft.
Traveling, taking photographs, meeting new people, even writing new 'stuff'... gets in the way.
Tonight I'm emotionally exhausted. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a clearer idea of where to artistically go from here. But after 20 years of scribbling down my thoughts I don't expect an epiphany.
