Today, I am reminded of these immortal words from Martin Luther King Jr:

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."



Good news you probably don't care about:
I've officially "graduated" from physical therapy!
Still not at 100%, but I can do most things now.

Good news you might actually care about:
You still have time to enter "The One-Line Lyric Challenge" Open in new Window. this month!

Congratulations on graduating!!
Thats awesome! May you have a great career!
Ah, maybe should have made this more clear. I "graduated" from attending physical therapy every week for an injury. As in, I don't have to go in person anymore and can just do daily exercises at home until fully recovered. Still good news, but nothing to do with my career.

Congratulations to all the Quill nominees!

Unfortunately, I didn't get any nominations this year. Probably because I didn't write anything in 2024, besides a couple of eight-line poems  Open in new Window.. That's, frankly, all I could manage.

I'm not going to let that happen in 2025.

After this month, my last month at my job of 5 years, I'll have a lot more time.
Mental health allowing, I will be using some of it to write.

But until then, I will probably be MIA.

 

By the way, a new prompt is up over at:

Keep in mind, there's no rule against cross-submitting your entry to other contests or activities.

Perhaps, "The Bradbury" Open in new Window.?

You're as bad as me, Anni. Nothing but blank pages and I couldn't convince anyone that it was a "shape poem" about snow. *Laugh* I did, however, clean out my port and got a nomination for best portfolio. Evidently, the standards are much lower in that category. *Rolling*
But you run a contest! That's something. *Smile* One of my offerings I wrote for you was nominated. Not the one I expected. *Laugh*
🌖 HuntersMoon Author Icon - I need to redo my port... it's mess and I know it! However... not a priority before I die.

Thank you for all the anniversary notes and reviews!

I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have written a single thing for fun in the last 4 years if I hadn't joined this site at the beginning of 2021.
I definitely needed a push to get back into it.

I did fall off again last year. I could give lots of excuses, but I won't.

I'll just try and do better this year.

 


Let's not forget about:

Happy Fourth WDC Anniversary!
After almost two years of toil  Open in new Window. tears  Open in new Window. and turmoil  Open in new Window....
My manuscript was officially accepted for publication!

Turns out, it's the fourth time that's the charm.

Now I will celebrate by taking a taking a nice warm shower, doing my physical therapy exercises, and praying that the sidewalks somehow melt overnight despite the temperature staying below freezing for next two weeks straight.

I just relearned how to walk on solid ground...

NOW, THAT IS AWESOME! Yes, I am screaming it from the rooftop. Congratulations!
Happy for you, Anni. You worked hard for this. *Clap*
Yep, I'm jumping on "The Bradbury" Open in new Window. bandwagon...

Trying to write more (aka, anything) in the new year. Might be a bit rusty.
