 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.  My new new new blog is
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.

| If I'm wrong correct me: "We call many indigenous people by names that were given to them by others. Navajo, Cherokee, Seneca and Crow come to mind. Afrika isn't a shithole country. Genetically, Afrikans may be more diverse than the rest of the world combined. I see tourists with water bottles ... as if the word potable means nothing. If the water is drinkable then a fancy imported bottle of water is merely a status symbol. Same with food. Dear Americans, if the US had the water and culinary standards of Japan, I wouldn't have to explain this to you." So I commented in Robert's blog. 43 degrees at 39 minutes after midnight. I'm leaving the window partially open. May get very windy later in the day. Gonna air this place out! I worked on some contests. I wasn't going to but the words just flowed. What I wrote wasn't too bad. Edit. Submit. Let others judge.  60 degrees and very windy at 12:45 p.m. Storms tonight? Had to close the window as having things inside blow about isn't good imho. Asterism (⁂) Death throes of human artifacts. Neva is providing me with prompts.  I wrote in Brian's blog: "I number poems and pieces of prose that no one will ever read. Even I, having never edited some, may never read them again. I scribble or carefully, almost like calligraphy, write in my journal, a 5 thousand page letter to a friend... It marks my passage." 63 degrees at 6. A letter delivered to my door on Sunday! From Jacob, a former neighbor. A half loaf of cranberry bread from Le Petit, a gift from Bri. Still breezy. Blow me away at 8 I told Elle, "I'm just checking in after perusing this book-length entry.  I do think that this allows for comments better than if it were a separate item; although, I think you should do that as well. Each part could be expanded into a chapter. I saw that you didn't read about Pern! Oh my... one of my favorites.  I do get the 'not going along with what everyone else was reading' comment. I teethed on Ibsen rather than Shakespeare, was raised with Japanese and French ideas rather than Hollywood. I suspect that that's one reason why what I write doesn't connect with many at WDC. It's not Americana, either historical nor present. My aesthetic is more Nordic-Bittersweet-Asian and that does not sell here in Missoula nor in WDC." 4,192 |
   PROMPT March 28th We need your help filling the Challenge War Chest with prompts! In your entry today, write three of your own 30DBC prompts and then choose one to respond to. 1. Choose a Eurovision song and write a response. Some well known songs if you're stuck: Waterloo '74; Rise like a Phoenix '14 ; Fairy Tale '09; Toy '18. 2. There are over 50 countries in Africa. Which would you like to visit if you could? What would you see and do? 3. What do you prefer to write? Essays, non-fiction, prose, formal poetry, free verse, haiku, flash, stories, novels, technical pieces, blogs, letters... Share an example. Provide a link if you choose. Too tired to write much and give a proper response. 1. Rise like a Phoenix was an incredible pick by stodgy Austria. Not only could it be a James Bond theme song, the hint at pain, and hope rising from ashes inspires. 2. I have a bunch: Senegal, Burkina Faso, Morocco, Uganda/Rwanda/Kenya. Malawi might be the easiest as they have hostels, few game hunters, and few high-end tourists that would allow me to just observe people and their culture. 3. I write poetry. Most is lyrical. I do best at a mix of free verse with heavy dosis of poetic devices: alliteration, rhyme, rhythm, all types of repetition. |
