2022-06-22 What Would Single Miss SugarCookie Do?
Now that the writing challenge BS is over, I can get back to my shows. Good timing too cuz I think I’m gonna be able to treadmill again soon. This toe injury was a serious bummer, but it did allow me more time for other tasks. I suppose I should try to keep on writing […]

2022-06-18 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 14: Taking Life Less Seriously… ✍🏻
…It’s only life after all. Yesterday was the last day of the writing challenge and I’m not sure how many words I compiled over the last two weeks or how many poems I feel are ready to meet the world, but I do know I’ve spent a considerable amount of time working on writing, contemplating […]

2022-06-16 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 13: Changing the Answer ✍🏻
As I near the end of this two-week writing experiment I recognize that much of what I have written (the new stuff anyway) has been blog posts. In the beginning, I had this blog down as an option if I got stuck or didn’t want to work on some other project on my list. But […]

This is really just a continuation of what came before. Something of the fleeting notion of free writing, and channeling the spirit of a young girl who teetered between not having a care in the world and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. For her, the world in 1984 consisted of a […]

2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12: Just a Girl and Her Notebook ✍🏻
Today’s craft talk newsletter was inspiring. The guest writer waxed on about another writer who wrote with joy for writing and, as it seems, a zest for life itself. Its aim was to remind us that we sometimes have to get away from the notion that writing is grueling work. Let’s be honest, it can […]

Hello Dear Friends. I’ve had many thoughts these past few days, both while shuffling through my regular routine and also enjoying changing that routine to fit in some extra craft time. I think I said it before.. that this #1000WordsOfSummer challenge isn’t really about the word count for me. It’s mostly about that change in […]

Let us be grateful today that it is not 2006, for that would be the sign of the Devil and probably nothing good would get done. Probably. Here’s a brief recap of this #1000WordsOfSummer so far: Day 0: I wrote a plan for the two-week endeavor. It’s a good plan and includes a list of […]
