A Guinness Salute

G012-Guinness-LobsterVisions of Green Leprechauns Dancing in my head.

It’s a holiday,

A great excuse to put away your

sorrows.

Celebrate the good,

Save everything else for another

time.

Immerse yourself

Enchanting (ly)

Blissful (ly)

Four leaf clovers,

Guinness flowing,

Jameson poured.

Debauchery all in good nature.

Jig, Laugh, Hug.

Fall over,

Stumble, Occasional (ly).

Cheers, Salute, Be Merry.

Friday Dance Party

#Winning#

Yep I just went there. Yep I am feeling frisky this Friday.

Generally Fridays are all about setting goals, getting out there and taking risks. Not this Friday.

This Friday I plan on celebrating; I finished my first quarter successfully.

Not only that but I shared some of my writing and guess what? People close to me enjoyed it… I know it was a pleasant surprise!

So instead of talking about inspiration or taking a new step I am encouraging everyone to take the time and celebrate.

I am sure you have done something great no matter how small this week.

Go on do a little dance in victory, don’t deny it. I know you want to.

Get Down On It.

Just Dance.

Join Me?

If would be fair if you asked me if I had hit my head some time in the past month. The answer would be no but it would be a great excuse. It’s not like I am taking classes, working at the job that pays my bills, and working on two other novels or anything during the month of April. Oh no wait I am. None the less I have decided to add yet another project and this time it comes with a deadline outside my control. I am going to participate in Camp Nanowrimo and you know just add another 50,000 words to the month. It will be fun, the book idea I have decided on will be fun and the deadline makes it a great challenge. I have never backed down from a challenge.

So I ask you my followers, anyone care to join me? We could bunk together? And no that is not as creepy as it sounds.. We can also do word sprints and lament the fact that we took it on together.

I mean what excuse is there not to?

Simplicity 14

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dawn it begins,

Unknowingly I start,

Anticipation.

~

Lost in the journey,

Challenges posed at each step,

Acceptance of fate.

~

Fearlessly driving,

The outcome is daring you,

Adventure rewards.

Hawk’s Tale

20130224_144632Predatory, sweeping in from above.

The prey had no chance of survival.

It was not fair,

Natural order can rarely be fair.

The little birds try to put up a fight.

Dive, maneuver, hope for a break;

The end always seems,

Inevitable.

But once and a while nature,

Allows for an opportunity.

Taken.

Just Once.

The possibility.

 

Friday Chances

Dice

When was the last time you took a big chance?

How long has it been since you risked it all?

Have you ever gone double or nothing?

There is no reason to not start your next project. You can create whatever you want.

Take a Risk.

Take a Gamble.

Write it Down.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Friday in the Springs

GlenwoodSpringCoThis glorious slice of paradise in the hot springs pool in Glenwood Springs Colorado. It has been a long and hard week for me, perhaps it has been the same out there for some of my followers; why don’t we all escape together?

Let’s take a minute, let all of the tension drain from your body. You walk out from the locker room and feel the 32 degree mountain air take over your body. There is a hint of sulfur coming from the natural springs. The water is warm, so incredibly warm, 104 degrees of unadulterated bliss. Floating on your back you are able to see thousands and thousands of stars crisply, clearly, without the impediment of city lights. Serenity.

The great thing about writers is that we are able to escape so easily. 😉

Happy Friday Everyone!
