A Passing Glance – Poetry by Me

So today I decided – instead of writing a topic (because I’m not really up for it and I’m craving something different) I decided I’d share one of my poems instead. I’ve been a an avid writer for many years and most of my gallery on DeviantArt is filled with almost entirely nothing but poetry. There are some “Art Pieces” I’ve done THERE but my poetry is the majority. I find that amusing to say the least. When I get another printer/scanner I do intend to upload some sketches I’ve been working on, but for now I got photos that were taken of them instead for the time being up on my gallery. The poem I selected was one of my more “Positive” pieces considering in my earlier years I was  - what I refer to as an “Pessimistic/Optimist – Hope for the best and expect the worse“. Only in later years did I become the reverse. I’m much more optimistic – but every now and again my pessimism likes to come out and play. I’ll warn you all now – I’m NOT a conventional poetry author. I have my own “form” I follow which is “None at all” which is true and yet a complete “Lie”. Because in its essence it has become a “form” which is uniquely – mine. Enjoy!

NaNoWriMo Day 19 – Can We Say “Sequel”?

Awww! He's so cute!

Well I’m now up to 50 pages in word, though in book format who KNOWS how many pages these words would translate to. I typed a total of 2,279 and I am now sitting at 40,971 total. As I’m rounding the end of the first plot I’m beginning to see that perhaps that second “big twist” might actually have to be made special for a “Sequel”.  It has more to do with the fact that I’m not entirely sure the story will be done by the end of the month unless I cease and desist in hitting these “memory barriers” I keep running into, but also the fact that the story may go over 50k which I’m not worried about – but it could pose an issue if I don’t finish it on time. As I write this I have my little furbaby Loki on my lap who seems more than content in keeping his “Goddess Mama” cool, calm, and collected. His company has definitely been appreciated and I’m blessed to have him in my life with his brother for emotional and mental support.
