Can you create a micro-story in seven words?
He saw, gold, is everywhere you look.
She found the end in her beginning.
The neighbor’s cat saw my darkest secrets.
For me escape came in short doses.
The bass thumped, they fell in love.
Quote this, “it can’t be quoted textually.”
Seven came but somehow nine remained behind.
Do all of your best ideas come to light just as darkness surrounds you? I can stare for hours at my notebook or at my laptop without a single thought to grab onto. Then, just as I drift off and dream of what could be the scene strikes. It’s never fully developed but it is a dare. Do I get out of the warm confines of my bed to jot down this magnificent unicorn of an idea? Or do I trust myself to remember it come the break of dawn?
I have done both several times, meeting with failure and victory.
Is it because I allow my mind to wander so freely that these thoughts take hold? Is it because my imagination is priming itself for whatever dream I am about to have? I wish I could capture whatever it is I do before I fall to sleep.
The perfect writing trance, it is like nirvana for my creativity. It cannot be created only experienced.
Experience is the best teacher.

Ice encroaches it,
sunlight cannot light it up,
grasp warmth from within.

Nothing is ever easy. There is always an excuse, a reason not to continue. In those moments you have to wonder why you put yourself there to begin with? Did you do it with purpose and the intention of work? Was it merely a dream, a hope?
Looking left, looking right, looking straight ahead the answer is nowhere to be found. Why don’t you look where it really matters? Inside of you. You are the only one with the knowledge. Only you can answer your questions. Even in the darkest of moments there is a light to your dream if you can find it.
Each of us has it. We can each do it. It doesn’t matter what it is. It is so simple yet we complicate it. All you can do when surrounded in the darkness is turn on a light. It does’t have to be the best light, it doesn’t have to be a natural light.
Simple cell phones can light up an entire darkened stadium.
My light is writing.
What about you?
There will be a new update to the blog (besides the layout change) coming. New and different content, I look forward to your feedback.
2014 is going to be the year, it is a promise.
#NoExcuses
Not exactly chaos, but reason enough for change.
Back on track, no more distractions.
The end can approach
quickly, quietly without warning.
It could be your moment.
Standing at a crossroad,
you must decide.
The leaves are just
waiting to be rustled.
Seize the chance to
create your own with path with
pen in hand.
My word count is sad but I am making a comeback- I will finish because it’s the only thing I know how to do.
I do have a pretty fantastic party scene involving a white helicopter and men wearing red tuxedos which is my shining achievement at the moment.
How is NaNoWriMo going for everyone else?
