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.

Why Gratitude matters?

It is important to give gratitude any way you can. May it be in writing a poem, essay, or even a letter. But it is one thing that is very important that some people have trouble doing. Maybe, because all the hurt someone goes through that blocks the way to say "Thank you" or I am grateful for. Giving gratitude is a way to say "Thanks" for doing something that is important. My way is do the best for all. If I get "Thanks" or not doesn't matter. But it would be nice.

How to relax and think?

How to relax and think? What a great question! Sometimes it doesn't go together. I just think like a running faucet. Slowing it down is the trick. Thinking about one thing is hard too. I try meditate, but my body and ears just don't help out. I wash the dishes and think till I can't wash dishes any more or think. Or I walk and think till I have gone to far and am lost. Wow. One thing would be great is just write it out in a journal. Then maybe some of those things I think that won't let me relax won't be there no more.

April is here

Hello April!

I can count on my fingers how many times I hate the weather and wish it was spring. Now I can count on my fingers how many
times for everything. I wonder, if Albert Einstein invented finger counting? Maybe.

Rock Whisper

Remember when pet rocks were a big hit back when! Well, I work in a pretty busy stressful place. Even the plants are dying to get out. So I thought of changing a few things. I went on a suburban rock hunting day. Anywhere I went I pick up a rock. I painted them different designs and colors. When someone sat at my desk they would pick up one of my rocks. The rock that had the most handling I would take it home and exchange it for another. One day someone notice because my rocks were disappearing. I brought more just to see what was happening. I didn't see any rocks on anyone else desk. I had no more rocks to exchange unless I went on another rock hunt. On the way out the front entrance to the office I notice something odd. Around a little tree was a circle of rocks. My rocks! Wow.

Safer in the middle or living on the edge

Some days I live on the edge with everything possible. My words even are the edge sometimes or safe in the middle where I feel they are safe. You have those moments you write and say the right words then again you say or write all the wrong words.

Got My B.A. in Liberal Arts

Hello Writers and Readers:

Well, I got my degree. A B.A in liberal arts. Big deal? It was hard for me. I was a average student. I lost the taste for college a year after I graduated. I really did not care to go to college. I did not want to try for college funding or anything. Everyone was against it, including me. Being 53 is was tough being with some younger and smarter people. My friends at work are waiting to see the degree. Well, I guess I must pay for it first. LOL. I am going to start writing to get some things enter into contests to get my ego up. I will always want to improve myself everyday of my life but that is normal. My writing I will do the same thing. Thanks for reading when you do.

Failure is avoidable to some and unavoidable to others

Failing is something we all learned as children. How do we learn if we don't fail every so often? Taking those first steps to walk. Experiencing something new that we like it or not. It's one of those process that we done has children and adults.

Writing Prompt some kind of power

I love these prompts. If I had a power it would be the power to be right all the time. Why? Have you ever had a day where no one listens to you? I do get those days a lot. I figure its just not my day or something. I would not mind being the go to person every so often but not all the time. Because I am human and I can be wrong. There you have it. Well I am grateful for me and every single one of you. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Good Bye October Hello November!

Well October is gone out with the ghosts and goblins. November walk in with the fall wind. Brr.! I guess, November is the month of giving thanks. Well, I do have a long list to be thankful for. Being alive. Wanting to be a writer. Having a goal. Not giving up. Not hating all my family. Loving. Being very observant. Being too stubborn. Being sensitive. My list goes on and on. I guess, everyday we add to it.

Lost in my writing

Hello Fellow Writers:

It has been a long time since I wrote in my blog. I have been so busy with life in general. My work, life, and school has over taken me. Stress is so full in my life. I do what I can for just one day at a time. Some days good and some days bad. Wish for good days for me!
