 |   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.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
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.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

61 degrees and an AQI of 77 at 8:30. Quite dry in spite of 71% humidity. Didn't rain.  Tired. Very tired. 5 comments for today's blog entry. 3 on the entry (Robert, Ned, Mike), 2 on the newsfeed (RavenClaus, Ruwth). Amazing! Made eggs with cheese in the microwave in my microwaveable do-hicky. I should go out... but nowhere to go that's close. Anxiety still elevated. Depression? *sigh* I feel fine as long as I don't move. No severe aches or pains, just no energy... ever. I told Tina: My most favorite place and why... I like places where I feel safe, accepted, welcomed, inspired, relaxed. Safe: Tokyo, Japan. Buzzing city. Absolutely safe. Accepted: Prishtina, Kosovo. Open, passionate but tolerant. Welcomed: Tainan, Taiwan. Wonderfully diverse city of open arms. Inspired: Evora, Portugal. It led to writing vampire stories. Relaxed: Solvorn Norway. Pastoral setting along a fjord. There are only few places on my "did not like" and a few on my "why bother" lists. I need to write that blog, focusing on "why". I wrote Bryan: "There are costs to going public. Dealing with mud-slinging (never assume fellow writers are nice people) and cut-throats. Money! It costs to submit and submit and submit not knowing WTF the editors are looking for (hint: just like here, entries by the famous or their friends). If the entries are being judged by 20 year olds... consider the audience. If by MFA wannabes... consider the audience. If by snooty well-known "writers" of literature... consider the audience. Fortunately, history tells us that some writing will escape the clutches of the gate-keepers, get published, get noticed. Do what is best for you." AUGUST 7 71 degrees at 11 am. 55 AQI. Lowest in long time. Overslept. I'm groggy. Like painted kites Those days and nights, they went flyin' by The world was new Beneath a blue umbrella sky Then softer than a piper man One day, it called to you I lost you, I lost you To the summer wind A breezy but pleasant 85 degrees with an AQI of 61 at 2 pm. The sky is blue-ish and I can see the mountains. The river is clearing up too. No word as to why it was muddy. Saw Margi and Nathan and Chase. Been years. At market. Got sheep curds from Emma, a cherry-almond scone from Irina. Cherries. A spinach pocket from Mohammed. Chatted with Athena and Maria. Celebrated by writing a letter on cork while I downed a cherry-chocolate milkshake. But... didn't have my address book with me. At 6:30 87 degrees but 32 AQI which is in the green 'breathable' zone.  Ivan ZARCO ALVAREZ finishes at 2:44, 35 minutes behind the winner from Kenya, finishing last, #76. But he finished. He's a half-marathoner and a last minute addition to the team from Honduras. There are all types of heroes and they each have a story. 4846 |
