 Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
|
Staring at a blank page is like staring into a snowfield. The snow, untouched by civilization and unmarked by living creatures, blinds you for a few minutes, it glistens reflecting subtle shades of pure white and rainbows at odd angles. If you stare at the snow too long, you get lost in the interplay of light and shadow. As the day wears on, you become awestruck at the beauty of the snow's perfection. You marvel at the way an oak tree cast its ebony shadow across the pure white snow. You watch the tree's shadow change, grow and shrink, as Earth turns and the sun moves from morning to evening. If you stand out in the snow too long without moving, you risk snow bite or freezing. If you are fortunate, a red fox will walk across your line of sight. The fox will leave his footprints written in the snowfield. As you watch the fox move, the spell holding you in one spot staring at the snow is broken. You are free to go inside out of the cold and out of danger. I must say, writing 500 words a day isn't difficult, unless I'm attempting to write on a single subject. On Monday, October 28, 2013, I began posting my weekly goals at "Weekly Goals"  . On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 I began keeping track of may accomplished goals in this journal."O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds." Bah'u'll'h The Hidden Words of Bah'u'll'h, Part I.'From the Arabic, #31, page 11 'Heinlein's Rules for Writers Rule One: You Must Write Rule Two: Finish What Your Start Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold' Robert A. Heinlein It is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form of occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have graciously exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your hearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks unto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in idleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which profiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed in this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom and utterance shineth resplendent. Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 21-29: gr 32 I changed the way I did entries in this book several times. Beginning on March 21, 2018 the entries will cover the topics of spiritual, inspirational, and religions. However, the genres it will be under are Women's, Inspirational, and Spiritual with a tag of Religious. |
Fiḍál (Grace), 11 Jamál (Beauty) 175 B.E. - Tuesday, May 8, 2018 Catch-Up Day#1 This morning I decided to catch up on the entries in "Welcome to My Life" Poems Written  Revelation "Revelation" "Transition"  Rondine "Form of the week: Rondine" "Similes of Love" ‘Idál (Justice), 12 Jamál (Beauty) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, May 8, 2018 Catch-Up Day #2 I still have 5 items, whose links are stored in "The Snowflake Chronicles" , to review, and three poems to write. Before I do any of those I have to check this week's "To Do Goals" list in "Weekly Goals for 2024" to see if there is anything I have to complete this week. I know I have my edition of the fantasy newsletter to write; however, I think the only thing I have to do on it is finish the "Letter From the Editor", which I can do on Thursday or Friday. I have to submit that edition by Monday at 12:00 P.M. EDT. I'll submit it as soon as I get it written.So far this afternoon, I've reviewed three of the five items stored in "The Snowflake Chronicles" . I stopped so that I could write a poem for the 48-Hour Media challenge. I listened to the song, got an idea for a poem, and wrote it. I have to do this type of thing as soon as I get the idea, or the lines will slip my mind. I started the sonnet yesterday, with two lines. Now I have to write 12 more before its finished. I don't know if I'll finish it today or not, because I want to finish those other two review. I finished the reviews, now I can focus on the poems.Facebook Status Update Wednesday morning heat double digits and risging will it make triple digits today. Random Thoughts on Poetry1 Chocolate fibers; stanzas of white light; cantos of dark radiance rejuvenate the heart's yearning for poetic metaphors. Coffee poured into mugs of morning laughter, into cups of noonday desires, into memories of poetic similes. Poet's Note: ▼ Footnotes |

You kept hope, prayed, and that paid off.
Only bush honeysuckle in bloom. It's not very fragrant. The intoxicating vines bloom later. But we have lilacs... until this heat roasts them.
