Six Sentence Story #23 | Prompt Word: DUST
This week I wrote two stories for the Six Sentence Story blog hop: one for the SSC&B collaborative world and this one here because I enjoy writing the mini stories with the restraint of six-sentences. It's cool and sometimes a bit... challenging. The host of the hop is Denise aka Girlie on the Edge, and on Sunday she provides the prompt. On Wednesday, the link-up goes live and many awesome authors add their sixes there. Do check them out, even if you didn't fancy mine, as all writers are different and you may find something more of your cup of tea; even some on-going stories ;). Umm, musically??? Imaginary Friend and Cruel Devotion by Night Club were playing in the moment, no wonder the six became something like this... and instead of Zinfandel I had Puglia. I love the primitivo...

Ten Thing of Thankful #5 | Finding Joy in Doing Nothing
It was quite difficult for me to find anything interesting to write about for this week as it has been very quiet all of a sudden... I am used to drowning under my responsibilities and I just took time off or something. This week's Ten Thing of Thankful felt a bit more generic to me because of that.. But, if you enjoy positivity and smiling while reading other people's blogs, you can find the other entries in the link-up, or maybe you wanna write your own... Ten Thing of Thankful #5 First — doing "nothing." After the pressure I had been under for the past few weeks, this week felt blissful. I tidied up the home a bit, but mostly I've been gaming (ESO), drinking beer, writing, or lying on...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #6 | a Prayer
This piece from Margins of the First Draft makes me think I wrote better poetry in my teens than I write now. (Authors Note) a Prayer Here I lay In the darkness of my room Praying to all the Gods that I know That someday, Somewhere, Someway We can meet each other And have conversations drunken on wine Poetry on the Margins #6 If There’s a Next Life If this one is not enough...I hope to share one another in a waythat goes beyond great sex.It feels moreintimate. But... I do hope we would have a lot ofdrunken nights on wine and walking hand in hand on a dark avenue.And when I get tired, I'd just plop my head down on your shoulder, and thenyou'd smile and stroke my hair or kiss my forehead.And...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #14 | It Hurts
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—in some of the literature I read a lot as a teen, the theme of praying to a god or a mother was quite strong. I borrowed that idea; it wasn’t mine. The words are though. (Authors Note) It Hurts Oh God, oh...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #13 | Foolish Girl
Part of my poetry and reflections project, Margins of the First Draft—2-5 percent reality, and the rest is theatrical melodrama. I was a huge fan of William Shakespeare back in the day, and I wanted to incorporate that style into my writing at the time. This is why...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #12 | He Was Cold
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—on the contrary, the fact that life goes on is not as sad as I make it seem in the second piece. This poem probably did come from a real feeling, but gosh, was I theatrical. (Authors Note) He Was Cold And there...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #10 | Belladonna
This piece from Margins of the First Draft captures the feeling of being completely undone by someone's presence. I wonder if I ever felt something like that or if it came from watching a certain movie.... (Authors Note) Belladonna Like a maiden in love, With my eyes...
