A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

BOOK

Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
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.

Nothing to see here ... yet. The big item on my agenda today is making sure that writing contests deadlines are met. Everything else is optional, including getting groceries.

1 p.m. temps forecast for W, Th, F: 41, 46, 51. It's important to finish before the 5 o'clock rush. Although the weather will be clear it'll be cold and windy in the mornings. This matters because I walk 6 blocks to the grocery store. On a nice day that's great!

No one is reading my blog. That's probably my fault. It's just my boring life. I am getting comments on my poetry though and that's appreciated. During the 30dbc I had between 10-15 views daily. Fewer comments of course. But even now when I read and leave comments on other blogs there's little to no reciprocity. It gets depressing at times.

The way to find out how people are doing is reading and answering Lilli's QOTD.

33 degrees at 8:48 and slowly warming up. No rain forecast but it's overcast.

I'll need to eat something with my morning coffee. Just that warning from my stomach. I'm up earlier after having gone to bed earlier.

If I'm smart... (how many times have I said that this past year?) ...

But I wasn't. Took a short nap and now I'm fuzzy headed like a dandelion clock. Since my wild hair is about 11 inches long instead of 1 or 2, I resemble that remark.

More coffee. This time with a bit of hazelnut-cocoa added.

Trying to enter 2nd Time Around but not hearing contest results is making it harder:

Story "Strawberry" 
Story "Dr. Hirudo, Therapist" 
Poem "Peaches" 
Story "At the water's edge" 

"A Kind of Hush [304]"  Won Writers Cramp! But I forgot. *Frown* There are other contests I might be able to enter it in. It'd be nice to have a ribbon. Another: "Arms raised to the skies [321] 16 lines" 

Possibilities:

Story "Cleaning up the mess [270] (211 words)"  entered into "Second Time Around ~ Birthday Special" 
Poem "i am behind the camera [358]"  entered into "Second Time Around ~ Birthday Special" 

Poem "Left behind [343]" 
Poem "No letting go, stones and snow" 
Poem "Solo for moon and water" 
Poem "Shores of Lake Erie in Summer" 

47 howling degrees at 5:34. I said hello to Billie Jo's case worker but I'm not going out. So it's time to work on other things. Silkpunk?

I finished a poem: "DEW #14 An elegy for Katya [45]" 
I started a JI prompt: "Oink Oink Lane [73]"  (on private for now)

In some ways it's been a productive day.
