BLOG NOTE: I’m hoping this will show up where I expect it to and considering it did not, well, here it is. You, if you scroll through my many posts, may come across pages that have their topic without any content. My intention is to write these in and share them as able. The mechanics of posting is my downfall…too this, too that…the writing is what excites me. I hope this explains the blankness and peaks your interest in revisiting. Thank you

This week’s conversation…

Mundane

January 6, 2025 – Everything Writer

I could talk about the holidays and their beforehand and after, but that’s old, let’s get to the nitty-gritty…the mundane of writing. Who’s tired of using quotes in dialogue, the word ‘said’ ‘and’ plus all those ways of describing how something was spoken. It get’s boring. Read past them is one thing, we forget they’re there, but writing them out…ugh. Yes, the bane of my writing life.

Refresh

January 5, 2025 – Creativity

A writer will hear and say it themselves – the story is in the edits, the rewrites. The rough draft, first draft, is tossing everything out there and finding the treasure map. Now we search and dig for the treasure. A very well-known artist, who of course I can’t remember, said he carved the marble until the form showed itself. A slab of clay is waiting to be remade. One stitch leads to another and then more until it has unravelled the ball of yarn. Our creativity is always refreshing itself and the more we do the more we are refreshed.

January 4, 2025 – Indulges & Reflections

We all mess up and deserve a refresh. Just like I did today messing up my own order of mind-hats 🙂

January 3, 2025 – Theadora Mitchell, heat with humour

So, Fridays are for the Theadora mindset, the heat writer, that which contains passion, today I’m just worn out. The holidays are a fantastic time, for most and mostly they are, they’re also stressful and tiring and chaotic. This is the first Friday in this new year and the first Friday after the holidays. Time to refresh the passion of…everything everyday.

January 2, 2025 – Melody Hews, romantic heart

Started writing notes for this morning’s conversation when I realized it was more a blog thought than a quick insight. Sometimes that’s what happens when we allow ourselves to ramble around with direction, we stumble into a clearing.

January 1, 2025 – ChrisChat Reviews

It’s that time again where everyone makes resolutions and promises. I stopped making these on January 1st because the pressure is just one more thing to add to the balancing beam of life. Everyday is a refresh, a new day, a chance to begin again. Since this is a new year, new month, new day, and falling on Wednesday – my review hat day – I’m looking at my list and jumpstarting where I’ve fallen behind. I wish you a Happy New Year and that all the challenges a new year eventually brings be small and manageable.
