Write Day-In Day-Out

In order to finish my book(s) I'm not taking on much journalistic work, if at all. Sometimes I can't help myself though, a book review, a show I really want to see and cover... and I'm on the go again. 

Of course I Write Day-in Day-out 

The link leads to another blog where I post responses to writing prompts.
I'm crazy about the yellow pad on my iPhone. How I love thumbing my notes and to send them by email to myself. No writer should ever be without a notepad or recorder. Many a writer keeps a notepad on her nightstand in order to write down the brilliant thoughts that come up during the night. Not me. Neither brilliant nor during the night. But I do tend to have lucid thoughts the moment I wake up, and I've made it a habit to jot those thoughts down. Not necessarily whole sentences, usually just some cue words I can work at later on.  For this purpose alone I keep a simple note pad on the kitchen counter together with an extra fat Sharpie®, as though the thicker line creates emphasis needed to pay attention. While the water for my tea is heating up, I create bulleted lists. Before my tea has had time to steep, I'm at my desk tending to whatever needs to be addressed. Sometimes it's the notes.


What a discovery! No more notes piling up on my desk. Love, love, love it! If I want to look up what I wrote about, say molasses cookies, all I have to do is enter the word and a list of dates appears. Way to go!


    During the month of June in 2011 I took on the #Trust30 challenge and responded to a good number of prompts delivered by other writers or creative entrepreneurs.
    Ten days into the challenge I had figured out #Trust30 was a brilliant marketing plan and after using that notion as a prompt for #Trust30 Power is in the Numbers, I only responded to one more prompt with a poem I wrote years ago, titled I Am Who I Am Now And Then which seemed totally fitting.

    Captures the pics that land on the TwitPic site.
    Photo albums are the preferred destination for pictures made on the go, though.
