the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #6 | At the Roof
Yet another week has passed, and Denise has given us a new prompt word—THUNDER—for the Six Sentence Story. As promised, here is the link to all the SSC&B entries in one place to make it easier for the other participants and the readers to follow the Nervous Poet. I will also add it to the bottom of every post. All the other entries for this week's prompt, including the ongoing storyline, can be found at the link-up. I also found a few editors on Instagram who teach their craft, and I tried to apply some of their advice, which is why it took me longer to edit this time (English is my second language, after all but the demand for only six sentences makes it even harder). To anyone looking for a weekly exercise to help hone their writing skills, come and join us... it's fun... I...

Ten Thing of Thankful #11 | Home, Music & Creative Inspiration
Hello everyone! First of all... to those who have noticed a type of a self-made and not highly* promoted schedule here... am sorry.... This weeks Ten Thing of Thankful entry made it to the beginning of a new week because I was not alone, had a lot of cleaning-up to do and honestly, I was way too tired and overwhelmed yesterday evening to do anything besides just exist. All the other TToT's and a way to perhaps participate yourself can be found at the link-up. Ten Thing of Thankful #11 First — the TToT blog hop itself. I feel like a broken record player saying this, but this blog hop has become one of my favorites... There is something healing about showing your gratitude weekly and trying...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #5 | Insanity
This piece of poetry from Margins of the First Draft is one of those poems that makes me feel as if I can’t write anymore, as if I’ve lost some childish part of myself that once had a vivid imagination. I feel like life has dulled me and my writing has become boring. (Authors Note ) Insanity So, can you see now That I have lost my mind The sea of emotion has swallowed me whole And oh sweet mother of mine Can you tell Your daughter doesn’t want to emerge Poetry on the Margins #5 Love of the Mother Dear mom,I know that you wanted to save me and hold me in the pouts of my deepest depression.Yet, I have been lucky enough to have felt life to the extentthat on some daysall I wanted to do was to...

Six Sentence Story #12 | Prompt Word: SWING
It seems I had forgotten how the weekly six-sentence story prompts work… Last week, I thought I was late for the blog hop and ended up posting with the same prompt word as this time. The story itself can be found here. The weekly writing challenge is hosted by...
Six Sentence Story #11 | Prompt Word: SWING, FLOAT
On a Sunday evening I found myself thinking that I had been wanting to return to my blog, and also to writing prompts again. Unfortunately the link-up for the Six-Sentence Story ends on Saturday evening, so I was a little late for the blog hop part. Still, I wrote...
Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #1 | Existential Crisis
I haven’t been actively posting poetry or anything for a while—partly because of time, but mostly because I haven’t been getting along with my imagination lately. Too many of my poems were directed at people in my life, and I felt it was better to stay quiet on the...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #20 | Nothing
The final piece of Margins of the First Draft—a strange piece of poetry about inspiration being found in someone elses work. I’m a little sad that this is the last piece of this section.Hopefully, I’ll create more in the future as I myself liked making it, I think I...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #19 | Acceptance
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft — where I write more poetry inspired by my old poetry. Poetry is weird, this piece I actually read many times and thought that wow, it's like from a 19th century play or something. (Authors Note) Acceptance But...
