I am having the same problem with the challenge. I haven't yet found a prompt there yet that inspires 1000 words, lol.

Diamond painting sounds fun. I'll do that one of these days.

Hi ☺️ 🐭🐁, with so many getting awards for fantasy glad you got one for reality 🎉! I get How you feel and see the same types of life reflections in my own mind's mirror. Up till 2 years ago, had an awesome counselor. Knew her for about 6 years or so.
Since we moved to Mississippi good luck with having someone like that!...
I'm glad you write about what's real, good or bad. You express how many people feel and don't always have the strength to write.

Glad I saw 🪚 your award and found my way here!
Congratulations 🎉🥳 you earned it.

How awful! Sending positive thoughts for her recovery and things to work out with your dog.

My spirit animal is a deer. I love Kristy Parker without the s at the end. Here is another idea. Take your chapter book, download it to your computer or wherever you keep stuff, removing it from WdC. Then you won't always be looking at it and possibly bringing it up then sitting staring at it. Do that with any other unfinished stuff. Give yourself a fresh start. I find writing very simple poems rewarding. I just copy the rhyming schemes of other poems I read because there are way too many types of poems. I am not good at it, but it doesn't take much time or deep thought to write. I took a couple of my things that I just never liked off and feel I did myself a favor not risking someone reviewing them when like you said they were crap. I am great at giving out advice when I need to take some of my own advice which includes writing more consistently. Good luck!

In response to "Blessings and presents"

I agree that the more you think about how you should be writing, the less likely it is for you to sit down and do it. I would hate to restart something I had started. Much down the road you can heavily edit it. I think you can just write without any mind to grammar/spelling/editing. It doesn't have to be perfect or even all of it will you keep. Maybe focus on something else that gives you pleasure. Maybe a group you belong to or just blogging. I think you say a lot in very few words so that is a plus for you. You can always do a few reviews which will be much appreciated and don't take a lot of writing. Just an idea.

I have three novels and an autobiography in my head. Yesterday I worked on two and made very little progress. I almost feel desperate because I am getting older everyday ...
I enjoy your names. I played with pen names since I was a kid too.

A word on spirituality.

This was asked in the newsfeed (Spiritual Newsletter) but my answer needs more room than that.

Church: the only definition I found is "a body or organization of Christian believers". Hmm. Definitely not me. So we throw out the word church.....

I have belonged to several organizations which were just starting out. Most of them were New Age.... They were supposed to not conform to any specific religion,, but eventually they all conformed to the Christian/Catholic way so to stop rustling feathers in the community and avoid stuff like their buildings being the canvas for some off color grafiti.

I have tried established New Age churches but many of their sessions turned into debates on what was the true religion and how everything was being done incorrectly in most organizations..... which was basically true.

For me, religion is a highly personal pursuit. It is a quest to find your own connection with whatever deity you happen to relate to. Personally, I find this to be a very solitary pursuit.

A word about Deity: You can call him/she/them by whatever name or gender you wish. As I said, it is a very personal thing. They all, are connected and are ultimately the "I AM". There is no one name other than that for a true deity.

My "worship" consists of meditation. I bring myself to a higher state of consciousness and commune with deity. We talk. I aask questions. I make requests. When I feel refreshed and satisfied with our session i bring myself back to a normal state and end the session.

So maybe this would have fit in the Newsfeed. No matter. I think it has better standing here.
