Happy Anniversary The StoryMaster and The StoryMistress Here is my gift to you... Cepheus is a constellation in the deep northern sky, named after Cepheus, a king of Aethiopia in Greek mythology. It is one of the 48 constellations listed by the second century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 constellations in the modern times. This constellation is 24 light years away. So, tonight, as you look to the deep north, you will see the light that shinned the day Writing.Com was born. |
I love that. You have no idea, but I am obsessed with the night sky, so this is a fabulous post. |
Here is an interesting question for everyone and, yes; there is more than one answer... What popular phrase is only said in America? |
LinnAnn -book writer - I know. His name came to mean signature because his name was scrawled the largest on one of those early founding USA documents. |
A friend of mine asked his granddaughter for the phone book. She laughed. "Grandpa; you are so old fashioned..." She handed him her iPhone. Two minutes later, the man had one dead spider and a very upset granddaughter because he had broken her iPhone. |
I have chosen my project for 2024 Na-No-Wri-Mo October challenge. Tales of the Canterbury Nebula. 5 Alien children had accidentally made first contact with humans on Earth. Now, their diplomatic father or mother had been ordered by the Galactic council to go to Earth for official first contact protocols. During their journey, they share stories of how each of their children found their way to Earth and met the humans. |
So many ways to meet aliens... if you don't accidentally kill them. I'm thinking a friendly spiders and how the passenger pigeon was exterminated along with native cultures. Lots of heartbreak and miscommunication... |
KÃ¥re Enga in Montana - One of the stories will be Atrace. An crane like avian named Atrace finds herself on Earth due to a navigation error. Alien: I'm looking for Atrace. Human: (confused) A trace of what? |
I ask this to any member who is retired: What can I do when my mind needs to do something but my body wants to do nothing? I can only play with our cat for a few minutes before I am completely out of breath. Walking up and down the stairs is like running a race. and I can not focus without some sort of white noise in the background. Thoughts? |
You might be able to read using a book stand. If there is a talking book program for blind and print disABLED/physical disABILITIES, you might be able to receive recorder books on loan. If I think of or find more information, I'll let you know. |
Do you have some outside space to sit or a sunny area in a room. Sunshine tends to give energy. Relax and get up and walk around a bit. Have a notebookk to jot down indeas and thoughts. If you can slowly build up your endurance of walking. |
I saw the doctor yesterday. I got a tetanus shot and a pneumonia vaccine along with an ultra sound of my legs due to continuous swelling around the knees. Turns out I have a Baker's Cyst the size of a tennis ball behind both knees. Today, I feel weak and light headed; likely due to the pneumonia vaccine. Going to take today to rest. |
Forgive me; I just need to rant a bit... Colds hit a lot harder than they used to. For most of the day, it felt like all I could do was sleep. I am finally feeling a little better but I'm so out of energy. I miss having more energy than I know what to do with. For those who are still in good health, no matter your age, please take care of yourself. |
I feel lost in a fog today. The weather is cold and dreary. My body does not want to be out of bed. However, I do have an idea for this year's novel prep. |
