 |  Daily scribbles on writing and living. How to get rid of cobwebs in my brain. CLOSED. |
|
I am over the moon with joy this morning, as I got an anonymous gift from a co-writer on WdC. I can set up a blog for the coming three months since someone paid for an upgrade. If you ever read this Anonymous One, thank you so much! Many thanks to "Request An Upgrade From RAOK"     I have to think about this for a moment. Don't want to rush it, don't want to solely vent or underestimate the value of a daily blog for my writing. So I will carefully try to explore what it will bring me. “All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long-forgotten poem” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga When I was a teenager, my little brother stole my journal out of my bedroom and read it. I was so disappointed and mad about his action, I destroyed my writing and have been struggling with the concept of conveying my inner thoughts ever since. So, I will send my daily scribbles to the world. On How to get rid of cobwebs in my brain. To let in some air and rejoice. For another clumsy attempt at writing, check out "All fingers and thumbs "  [18+]. I am a Rising Star from  Rising Star Program 2016-2017.  Comments, scribbles, and notes welcome!       Thanks, 🌕 HuntersMoon  for the teal awardicon.Note ▼ |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] As people who write things that can be seen on the internet, we understand how important grammar is. The real question that remains, however, is how sick are you of this guy?? Pace yourselves, 'cuz there's a lot goin' on in there. As a global citizen I am appalled by the choice of words of this man. Words can be weapons and that is the case here. He divides and polarizes the world into camps. That’s not good at all. Furthermore, his actions so far are very dangerous. I think he is a bad choice for the position he is holding. I am very much afraid for the future. Although I am not an American citizen myself, I fear for a President that is interacting with the public through tweets. He is a populist.  |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Creation Saturday! Who hears you when you scream? I live alone, so nobody in my immediate surroundings will hear me when I scream but my dog. And although I didn’t make up my mind yet whether there is a God or not I think the Universe may hear me screaming. Perhaps something in that great All will resonate when somebody is screaming or crying or feeling pain. Since we are all connected somehow there is a chance that individual screams come together somewhere. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1903, Barney Gilmore of St. Louis, Missouri was arrested for spitting. What's one of the dumbest things you've ever gotten in trouble for? As a dog owner I know that I have to clean up after my dog’s poop. I always have plastic bags with me. But I sometimes ignore that because I am lazy. And sometimes I don’t pay enough attention. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Tell us about a time that you failed hilariously at something. I take my failing at anything rather seriously, so the word ‘hilariously’ is never an option. It’s been never quite that amusing, to be honest. I suppose it has something to do with me not being the merriest of persons. And I’ve failed at a lot of things over the years. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] War Chest Wednesday! Is trying to colonize other planets for human settlement a good or bad idea and why? If it's good, what steps would you see having to take to go into something so big? If bad, what should we do with space programs besides replacing satellites every few years? What an interesting question to begin the month of March! But I feel a little ambivalent about it. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] In an ironic twist, a dog really ate your homework. When you try to explain this to your teacher she says, "Come on, you can do better than that excuse." Instead of arguing, you take that as a challenge and come up with an elaborate story as to what happened to your homework. There will be an additional drawing for a merit badge for the most creative entry. Let us hear it. I wrote a haiku sonnet for today’s prompt.

| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] You're starving. You've only got $3 and some loose change on you. It's gonna be at least eight hours before you're home or with anyone who can spot you some extra cash. The only place around is a gas station convenience store. What is your go-to food/drink option? Be prepared to defend your choice...you're all a talented bunch of bloggers and I expect to see lots of questions and debates in the comments! I wouldn’t do a hold up in the convenient store, but I’d be tempted, for sure! Three dollars in your pocket for eight hours is not much. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Prompt: Tell us a little bit about your WDC handle/username. Is there a story behind it? Are you personally named after someone, family or otherwise? I go by three names. My WdC handle is WakeUpAndLive️~🚬🚭2024 My second name is my username: Wies Blaize. That’s my writer’s pseudonym. I choose it because Wies is the Christian name of my Indonesian grandmother at my mother’s side. My real name is Petra. I am named after Petronella, the Christian name of my grandmother at my father’s side. Petra means 'stone' or 'rock'. There is also a city in Jordan named 'Petra'. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] I was not planning on participating in the 30-Day Blogging Challenge for February. But I’ve changed my mind. So I am going to participate on a random basis. Each day I will watch the forum to see if the prompt is appealing to me, and if I do have time I will write my blog (and pay the fee). I just couldn’t resist all the plugging for this February’s 50/50 fundraiser event.  |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Motivational Monday! Former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, born on this day in 1882, once said "I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues." How important to your success (in any part of your life) is it to surround yourself with talented, knowledgeable, and/or fun people? It’s always been important in my various jobs as a psychologist, a teacher or a counselor to surround myself with talented, knowledgeable and fun people. It made me sharp and molded me into the person I am now. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] The Sunday News! Please, I don't care what you want to talk about today, just no politics. Find a story that makes you feel good about the world and tell us about it. As a dog owner and a dog lover, I was totally in awe with this uplifting news from Turkey. As it is winter time in Istanbul and very cold outside they let stray dogs sleep overnight in a mall to hide from the cold. They put blankets out for the dogs and fed them so they would be warm and with a full stomach during the night. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Creation Saturday!Pick one of the following scenarios and expand on it: 1) An animal you can humanely wear while it's still alive; or 2) A house you can live comfortably in that is made entirely of edible materials. An animal you can wear while it’s alive is a snake as a shawl. Of course it has to be a snake that’s not dangerous for obvious reasons. I saw a fashion show a while back where the models wore snakes around their necks on the catwalk. It was a very bizarre sight and they did it for publicity reasons obviously. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1926 a Scottish inventor named John Baird demonstrated a pictorial transmission machine called the television. Do you remember seeing your first television...the one your parents had when you were a kid? What were some of your favorite shows? Do you still watch any of the old programs you enjoyed as a teenager? The first television I remember was when I was 5 or 6 years old. I watched the opera Carmen for the first time in black and white. One of my favorite shows as a teenager was Star Trek. I watched every episode of the show and watched it again when I was an adult. It triggered my love for Sfi in movies. I have watched Star Trek ever since and am watching the new movies every time they appear on screen. Although the original Star Trek is slow and somewhat funny with its special effects I still am a great admirer of Captain James Kirk, Dr. Spock, Scotty and Leonard Mc Coy. The special effects have turned out bigger and bigger and are awesome in the new movies, but it started out with those early days in the 60/70ties. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] The Wildcard Round! Plug time! What are some of the WDC events you'll be taking part in during the month of February? I am participating in the Rising stars Program, The Grammar Garden and "The Dialogue 500" |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] War Chest Wednesday! Do you believe in miracles? Speculate on your idea of a miracle you'd like to see happen. I believe in miracles although I have never seen one happening. But my health is not good at the moment, and I am feeling exhausted and down for a couple of months now. I am afraid it is my heart or my veins (not enough oxygen) but I am too afraid to let it tested. Not smart I know, but I am chicken. A miracle would be if my problems just went away overnight and I would feel my old self again. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Talk Tuesday! If you had a "spirit animal" that wasn't an animal, what would yours be? (Pretty sure mine's a burrito in case anyone asks, but no one is and I could be totally wrong *Laugh*). And what would you think some of your fellow bloggers' "spirit animals (that aren't animals)" are? I am not sure what a spirit animal that isn’t an animal really is, but when I think of some of my fellow bloggers I think of paintings. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Motivational Monday! Actress Tiffani Thiessen, born on this day in 1974, once said "When you interact with someone you always take something from them." What is something you've been able to take with you from any of your fellow challengers so far this month, and how have you been inspired by each other? Due to motivational and health issues this month I haven’t been able to interact very much with other bloggers. So although others have visited my blog from time to time I haven’t return the favor very much. Normally I get inspired by others a great deal. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] The Sunday News! Seven WDC authors were just promoted to Moderator status! ("Note: Congratulations to...") Visit one of their ports and review one of their items...and in your entry here, now would be a good time to tell us what your goals are for being with WDC (whether you're a newbie or someone who's been around the block awhile). Make sure you include your review, using the Invalid Review  tag.I congratulated a few new Moderators and did a review: Review of "Out Of Place" |

Describe how any personality trait would/could look as a physical characteristic, and create a character who embodies or uses this to his/her advantage. Of the 638 Primary Personality Traits I found I choose Attractiveness because it could look as a physical characteristic. It would embody appealing to look at like beautiful long hair, great eyes, sensuous mouth and a slim figure. |
| "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1885, the roller coaster was patented by L.A. Thompson. Tell us about a time you visited an amusement park. I can’t recall visiting an amusement park and stepped into a roller coaster in real life. It’s too long ago. I did visit a few virtually for 30-Day Blogging Challenge in Australia. It was fun to watch YouTube video’s and participate online in an amusement park. We were at the Luna Park in Melbourne on "December 21" |
