Answer from Andre (edited): Your blog entries need to be about something short or being short in number of words or written in a short amount of time or using shorthand or shortcut or any other way of using short (e.g. an arcostic poem)." |
Her scales glistened in the light. She was a Prism shining brightly projecting a spectrum of color from red to violet across the skies. Like sunlight bursting through the lingering rain or mist after a tempest, she encapsulated the essence of a rainbow. Her majestic wings blended in with the clouds around her tempering her radiance in a soft yet brilliant hue. Pastel colors but colors all the same like faded memories of a happy past that still linger; distant dreams that one can't recall completely but still spark ingenuity. Much like the Dove of Biblical lore, this Dragon offered a blessing after a storm flying high and bringing hope! Author's Note: Write a Free Verse Poem written for "WDC Dragon Vale" Prompt: Write a story/poem featuring your Dragon. For context... I adopted a Dragon named Prism for this activity.

| I received a question about my last entry asking me what Writing Roulette was. It a playful way to describe the random forms of writing that readers wind up viewing when coming to view a new entry here. So far it has been mostly journal entries with a couple of poems, reviews and short stories mixed in. Tonight's entry is another journal though the theme knocks off one of the topics on my October writing list. I wanted to do at least one Halloween themed entry before the 31st. I was originally going to write a Werewolf themed Poem to cover that topic but as I was drafting the imagery for that poem it made me think the eerie melody of the Moonlight sonata which seemed like it deserved its own entry. The Moonlight Sonata was written by the classic composer Beethoven. It is one of his most famous pieces of music. The slow haunting melody of the first movement is beautiful and unsettling. Because of its dark tone, it is often played in connection with Halloween I first heard the Moonlight Sonata being played as part horror series Goosebumps. The episode it was featured in was called "Piano lessons can be murder". It fit the title and genre of the episode perfectly. If you haven't heard the this piece played before, you can listen below. Be warned... this is one of those pieces that will stick with you forever. You won't be able to unhear it or rid it from your mind afterwards... If you've seen my Notebook (https://www.writing.com/main/profile/notebook/kingscastle1), you'll see that I have an ongoing series of Moon Themed trinkets available and each of them has a moon related melody attached to it. Surprisingly the Moonlight Sonata hasn't featured in any of the ones I have made let. I plan to make one in the future. If anyone can recommend a good moon image that would go with it let me know. In the meantime please accept this substitute Moon Trinket for making it through this entry.   Ok everyone that is all for today. More writing to come soon. -    |
| Today's Chessboard writing roulette category is... drumroll please... a journal entry. ^_^; I suppose it is not really a surprise as more often than not my writing here tends to fall into that category. Despite their frequency, it always feels like a long time has passed every time I start a new blog entry. It is hard to believe that I used to do this on a daily basis. Work has just been so busy lately that I haven't really been able to find a balance to be able to write as much as I would like. I have to credit the Writing Activity I've been participating in "I Write" for getting me to write at least a little bit regularly so far this year. There is always a bit of grimacing when I'm attempting to complete the necessary entries when a deadline surfaces but I have to admit it's gotten me to write a lot more than I would have. Since this wound up being the first entry I posted in October... it seems like a good opportunity to regroup. I'll just go through some future entries and other writing projects that I have been Brainstorming recently just to organize my thoughts. I don't know how many of these I'll be able to complete but these are just some I would like to try. 1) Yom Kippur Journal Entry - Ideally I would have done this back to back with my earlier Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) journal entry. I started it but got pulled away from writing before I had the chance to finish it. I will go back and complete this but since it is providing information on the holiday. I have to take some more time to verify the information and trivia I am intending to share in the entry. 2) Deja Vu - I started a rough outline for a flash fiction story I want to write involving a time loop where the narrator suspects he has been doing something before and goes through a set of events which confirm it. It is still very early in development but seems like it would be fun. 3) Fantasy Bard List - Between the the Wheel of Time, The Witcher and House of the dragon. I've been watching a lot of fantasy series lately. I would love to be able to do a list showcasing some of the best fantasy bards and their music. 4) Halloween Themed Writing - With October 31st just around the corner. I want to write something Halloween related. I haven't decided what it would be yet though. Maybe either a poem or short story. Ok everyone...that's all for now. If there are any items on this list or any other writing topic recommendations you think would be good to try just let me know. Thank you for reading and more writing to come. |
