Stream of Consequences Saturday, notebook

Filed under: Blogging, Creativity — Leave a comment
November 7, 2026

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œnotebook.’โ€ Use it any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!

Why do I crash between two streams. I can’t decide which to start with.

The Notebook was a good movie.

Or

I have notebooks all over the house. I used to try and keep just one but when I’d try to reference a previous note I would leaf through everything to find the right one. Now I take notes in the closest notebook and hope for the best. Where was I sitting when I took that note?

The only notebook I treasure right now is the one on my piano. I write what I’m working on. If I’m tired. What I had for breakfast. Bike times. What YouTube lessons I’m listening to. About how much time I spend on that lesson and give myself a grade.ย  Then I suggest to my tomorrow self what needs work.

I need to get better at Duolingo notes, Shorthand notes, sign language notes, yarning notes, appointments,phonecalls, drawing,book reviews and movie reviews but, hey, I’m proud of just the piano for now.

Since I’m feeling better I’m back to my hobbies. Still going slower than usual, but getting things done. First, NaNoWriMo I have 8,917 at the moment. I need 10,002 for today’s goal. So I have to get this done and get back to work.

Got this badge a couple days ago.
To the arch on my son’s socks.

I’m finally back to 30 minutes on the stationary bike on the 2nd level.

I’m back to challenging myself to improvise chords in music. My aim is to stop needing to read music, just sit and play. My first work is Mistyย  i want to learn to move easily between chords.

My third dragon is nearly finished.

I can’t wait to be finished with these. I have a cute otter waiting for me to play with.

Now back to typing.๐Ÿ™‚

Get Busy!

NaNoWriMo Update

Filed under: Blogging, NaNoWriMo, Writing — 6 Comments
November 3, 2026

As of now, I have 3730 words in my new project, “Stories from the Ceiling”

My goal is the usual 50K. I had no plot, as the book No Plot No Problem by the guy who started this (Chris Baty) suggested.

This year I planned to select a picture or painting at random to write something creative about it. Instead, my husband and I bought something like this:

https://a.co/d/0hDWnZW7

The one we got has fuzzy pictures. I have shared a couple of them, as they have been a part of the stories from the ceiling. We bought this to help with sleeping. Waking in the middle of the night and having something to look at except the little lights from chargers, etc. Since we weren’t happy with the fuzzy pictures, we found a better one; I hope that has more holograms and motion. I can’t wait to see whales swimming in my bedroom.

As for NaNo, there are a couple of websites to keep track of or even help with writing.

https://nano2.org

and the one I might use if I want to play with it:

https://studio.writinghabit.app/write/U5gg42p5J4RZ3Cc2fRmC/plan

Since I use a combination of WriteItNow (now defunct) for finding random characters and traits and yWriter7, I find the Studio Writing Habit website a bit cumbersome. But maybe some of you can use it.

What do you all use? What are ways you get inspired?

Stream of Consequences Saturday, Costume

Filed under: Blogging, Creativity, NaNoWriMo, Writing — 4 Comments
October 31, 2026

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œcostume.’โ€ Use it way youโ€™d like. Have fun!

My only costume on most Halloweens is a T-shirt my son gave me ages ago.

We lived in Anaheim back then. My oldest and my future stepson worked at Knott’s Berry Farm.

Stream of Consciousness wants to remind me to tell of the time my family of six plus my mom, dad, and brother got into Disneyland for free. Not right now, ADHD brain.

Anyway, every year KBF throws a Halloween Haunt. I don’t do those. I know people love them. People in costumes…

Big confession here…

Anyone who changes their face and personality are scary to me. My adult self gets it. It’s pretending. I enjoy watching others enjoying their cons and costumes. I enjoyed playing Old Sally in Oliver and a maid in My Fair Lady, back in… The stream jumped me again, another story for later…

Anyway, who’s to say some crazy doesn’t jump into insanity and has real swords or real chainsaws…

Why would anyone want to scare someone else?

Isn’t it scary enough these days?

Don’t tell me I’m a chicken. I should trust?

Anyway, back into the original stream.

On my back where I don’t see it. Glow in the dark still working.

Front of shirt. The year my sons worked at KBF

The most fun I have on Halloween happens at midnight where I begin to pretend to be an author writing dangerously, words as fast as I can, to aim for 50K by November 30th at midnight.

There be some dangerous people and situations coming up, far from It’s a Small World, after all.

Stream of Consequences Saturday-ish

Filed under: Blogging — Leave a comment
October 24, 2026

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œends with โ€˜ish.’โ€ Find or make up a word that ends with โ€œishโ€ and use it way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!

“Meet you at 2-ish.” As a native Californian I heard plans like that a lot. As a teenager I could swing with that. But I was raised by Midwesterners. “Early is on time, on time is late. Late, get a new job.”

Now as a retired person with few appointments I’m glad I don’t have so many commitments and ish stays with fish.

I don’t have much to report. But Duolingo is going. The third dragon is nearly finished.

I managed 34 minutes on the stationary bike. Sadly that is only on the easiest level. The other exercise is still hit or miss.ย  I’ll excuse myself for this week. I got my vax on Monday so I’m barely regaining my strength today.

Knitting has failed this week. I brought a pair of socks on the bus Monday. But the ride was too bumpy and I dropped a bunch of stitches. With one shoulder already hurting, then the vax shoulder is a little stiff, the socks sit in their baggie waiting.

Oh, well.

Stream of Consequences Saturday, Pitch

Filed under: Blogging, Diamond Painting, Health, Music — 2 Comments
October 17, 2026

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œpitch.โ€ Use it as a noun, use it as a verb, use it way youโ€™d like. Have fun!

As my voice gets older my pitch wiggles around. I’m trying something new. Straw exercises. I couldn’t find any straws around here. We don’t have fast food here. So I was out of luck?

Nope. I diamond paint. So:

The tool to pick up the drills. I have a nice ergonomic one but each painting comes with these. I took out the metal bit and voila, a straw. Now I can work on my voice and pitch.

I bet you thought I’d pitch a sale about erecting an easy pitch tent.

Happy weekend!
