Something I came across in my travels...

by plainsue

Rated: E · Book · Internet/Web · #492316

A writer uses whatever he/she make come across to get her creative juices going.

I surf many websites..seeking advise and seeking ideas from many sources.Sometimes, a quote or some kind of saying..hits home..or gets my creative juices moving..Here's a quote with no author behind it, I found on lablaugh.com..
The only way...
The only way you truly fail is to stop trying altogether.

I want to be a writer...but I get writer's block and stress..kills my creative sense..so I seek....Thank you

Hey Kare Enga! I like what you wrote. Thanks for sharing. When you said, I grow bolder as I grow older, well I believe that too.

I write to let the gas out... no, not always pretty; but if I hold it in I blow!

Sometimes I do want to make a point and sometimes I have to choose my words carefully. That said, I grow bolder as I grow older.

Warm fuzzies are nice, and far better than cold pricklies... but... reality can bite.

Well, Kare Enga in Montana. because of incident I got a spoken to from my Supervisor, her supervisor, union representative, and human resources, Wow what a day! They told me to apologize to her. Part of me wants to but the other says it was her fault. I will eventually apologize. Thanks for the read.

It's not always easy to navigate a workplace. There are times I misspoke; but, other times I should have filed formal complaints.

Time to move on if the place becomes too toxic; one should be happy.

I became an orphan this week; found out today. You are fortunate to have had close family. Our reality is a bit more complicated.

Find happiness in what you have. If East Lansing has snow, rejoice in snow!

I left everything years ago. Lost contact with lots of wonderful people; but, it was too toxic to stay.

The last two years of Covid have crushed me. I need to travel and it's still iffy internationally.

As a senior I concur. Over a year later it still causes divisions within the older generation and between generations as well. Montana is an anti-masker, anti-vaxxer, anti-everything state.

I think the pandemic has been so detrimental for people's mental well-being. We won't even know the full scope of it until after the pandemic is over.

1) No.

2) Improving still.

3) The ideas play around in my head. There are many. Before writing, I never realized that my mind stored so much.

4) Nobody in my family reads. My mother reads, but she feels my stories are not that good.

5) Yes. I read them, review them to learn.

6) Hobby.

7) What is a usual muse?

8) Computer. I only use pen and paper to scribble.

9) Sometimes, yes. But I don't fret about it. It happens. I have 1001 things to finish in life. I just go and finish those things.

10) Sometimes, yes. But it is more like a compulsion to write.

Hmm Taurus and Me forever..

My statue of immortality would be of a taurus or bull with me sitting on top with my legs crossed with a smile on my face. I have a tattoo of a taurus on my right arm to let people know that I am just as stubborn as that bull. That is me! All of me.

Ben Franklin Quotes

A quote from Ben Franklin is Drive thy business or it will drive thee. I guess this would mean is get a hold of your business or it will get a hold of you. Ben Franklin was very wise. He had many wise quotes. But you must wrap your mind around them.

Life on holding pattern!

You ever feel your life is on a holding pattern? Getting it off hold is a hard thing. Life will take it off or you will somehow. But the wait is what frustrates us.

My favorite birhday gift ever..

The best birthday gift or present I ever was given was a Winnie the poo mug. It is my favorite mug to drink my morning coffee out of. One of my friends and co-worker gave it to me. It helps me drink only two cups of coffee a day. I cherish that mug. My friend thought it was a stupid gift. It is my favorite. I won't even let my sister drink juice out of it.

Award ?? and My earaches??

Hello Fellow Writers and Readers!

I have a earache! I am taking antibiotics to help the ache in my left ear. Fifty years old having my first earache. Now I know how babies feel! They hurt bad! I was going to answer the blog prompt but I do not feel like getting a award. Have you ever seen a award assembly where everyone gets a award. It keeps the peace. Well, with that I am keeping the peace and giving my ear some peace to heal.

An Ordinary Day

An ordinary day would be where nothing would happen. Everything would move along smoothly. Nothing bad or strange would happen. Just the everyday stuff. I would get up and make my coffee with no problems to be worried about. The weather would be just what the weather forecaster said. Hmm might be a boring kind of day!

Five Hundred years into the future?

You wake up five hundred years and the future and everything is vastly different from what is is now. What is different and what do you do? I would scream! I would like to see change happen but not for it to happen without me. I would seek some type of support or assistance in the future to help me survive. Everything would be new to me. Nothing is the same. It would be like I was a new baby. I would hope family and friends would be around but I doubt it. I would search what might of happened to friends and family, so I would not feel they are around or something bad happened to them. Then the question would be do I want to live in this future or what?

Would you rather spend time in the forest or the city?

Would you rather spend time in the forest or the city? Good question! I would like to spend time in both places. I like being alone and in peace that a forest would give me. The city would give me people and many things happening at once. That is what I like to write about! Everything.

Hello To Free Sundays

Hello Fellow bloggers and friends:

Hello To Free Sunday! If I was working it would be a start to a new week. To me now, it is Tuesday that has me worried. I start a Math class. I have not done any math for a very long time. I know how to add and subtract. But what I learned in high school many many years ago I have forgotten. So its like when I was a kid, I always hated math. More so as an adult! Okay, practice makes perfect!
