DAY 1959: “We turn memories into stories, and if we don’t, we lose them. If the stories are gone, then the people are gone too,” says Amy Harmon in What the Wind Knows To what degree do you use your memories in your writing? If you use them, do you think of preserving them or do you use them because they fit your story or poem? My memories inspire my stories and poems. After that my creativity moves into The Zone. The Zone is that part of my soul or subconscious mind that continues to write after the inspiration come. Once the soul or subconscious mind begins working on the story, I don't worry about it any more. Nor do I worry about whether the story is lost or anything else; I just continue to write until the story or poem is finished. Looking Ahead To May I have written 12 poems dedicated to The Bab, and I have 188 to finish before October 29, 2019. I am participating in "I Write in 2019" I have to finish the Spiritual newsletter for May. I have to compose the fantasy news letter for May. I am participating in "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" . I am participating in "Invalid Item" review challenge. Surveys. Submit poems to two online mags. Clean out Inbox.
DAY 2354: If trees could talk what would they say to humanity. If you have a favorite tree make it the speaker. A Cottonwood Tree Speaks Please plant trees in memory of a loved one or for the sake of your children. |
