Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

In response to "Pine Woods"

I wish I had a dog or cat or pet. Maybe if I rented from someone who had them I could travel and then come home to my friends.

In response to "winter wonderland"

My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.

Unfortunately, I do the same.

In response to "Favorites"

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.

In response to " Dependency"

my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.

I agree with you. I love changing it up every now and again.

I like the mantra "Write On"

I know this is cheesy, but I have to do it... In your entry today, write about what you love about Writing.Com. How have you grown as a writer? How are you (as a writer) different from how you were when you first joined this site? Thank the members who helped you get where you are today.

I'm reading Christopher Paolini's 4th book in the Inheritance series. After reading the first 3 books I looked for the 4th avidly, then realized it was not going to be released anytime soon. That was several years ago. It was released in 2018, which I wasn't aware of, now I found it in the children's section of our local library.

This morning, I found the newest issue of the Blogging Bliss Newsletter was ready to read. This is a good example of what is great about

. There is always information out there you really did not think much about. Someone on

will write about it. This morning the Blogging Bliss Newsletter made me realize how blogging is such a social media. It isn't just the information in a blog. It is also the comments and discussion the information may stir up.

Other things I like about

are the ability to review other works, which help any writer remember language rules and writing rules. I know I don't review enough, so I'll keep it in mind to do better.

I took three courses from the New Horizon's Academy in writing short stories, proper reviewing, and beginners poetry. All of these courses extended my abilities as a writer. The fact is the teaching in these classes was in depth. I gained by leaps when I took these classes.

I believe the time I get to spend on

has helped me with sentence formation. It has also given me confidence as a writer, as well. It's one thing to cram writing knowledge into your brain. It's another thing to use it day after day until it begins to mature and come out making you feel like you know how to do the job.

I started in

soon after I graduated college. Inside of all the media classes offered in college, I only took one class in fiction writing. I published several news articles and at least one story article while I was in school.

I'm fairly isolated where I live. Without a job or car I cannot maintain local socialization. Someone always notices if you are not logging in on

. They realize people need encouragement and they reach out.

Don't forget the emoticons.

There are some really nice designs on this site. Good for expressing anything.

I always appreciate the staff who reach out, those teachers I met at New Horizons Academy, the 30-day challenge, The Reading Challenge, the news letters, BCoF, all of the things this website means cannot be listed. All of the people who strive to keep it running and relevant won't always be known. It's way to big to ignore. I appreciate you as individuals and as the group effort you put out daily. Happy Anniversary.

My new badge. I enjoy giving these out and getting them.
