A to Z Challenge, T


This letter is probably my favorite letter. One of the first is called on Wheel of Fortune, or those kinds of games. It is the first letter of my favorite beverage, Tea! Then there are all the words that don’t start with the ta sound but rather the th sound.

Try to write anything without T. It’s impossible. You notice I haven’t even tried! So I give up. From here on, if you want to count the words starting with T, you may. You have my permission. But hey, if you’re going to try that, count the words with Ts in them. Mind-boggling.

Instead, let me brag. I finally got some wordage in my CampNaNo project, Reflexions. I’m spelling out the number to enhance the T-count. Two-thousand-five words, and I think when I am done with the blog and Duolingo, I will try to add to that story. It is bouncing around in my head, so I need to get it onto the blank screen. By the way, my mermaids are punk-rock! And they are now on the spaceship. As happy as I am with the count of the day, I need a lot more than that to catch up and hit my goal of fifty-thousand by March thirtieth. My crew in the spaceship are trying to help rescue the merpeople’s baby, and cousin left on a planet covered with ultra-black. It is not going to be easy for the team or the writer! I have to figure out how they will win in this impossible situation. My job is to make it harder for them. I should rub my hands together and let out an evil laugh.

After a winter that seemed not to quit, I actually wore shorts and needed the fan today. But as I saw the sunset from inside, I knew I needed to take the picture outside. OMG! It was SO windy and cold I nearly didn’t get the shot. And as cell phone pics, sometimes they didn’t look like what my eyes were seeing. But after a bit of fiddling around, I think I got it close.

It looks to me like half of us are holding up the sky! Go, girls! Oh, it isn’t G-day. There were a couple times today that I thought we might get some thunderstorms, but it only was weird clouds and lots of COLD wind!

Time to go to the rest of my schedule. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “scene.” Use it any way you like. Have fun!

Saturday? Wasn’t yesterday Monday?

The prompt is full of guilt for me. You see in yWriter you can write scene by scene. Though NaNoWriMo is meant to make you write without caution or order, yWriter can keep all the blather organized by scenes. I need to write!!

Shoot. I barely got into this stream when suddenly I caught a stomach bug. So, this will have to do. This is not a good scene.😥


Another pair of Fleegle heeled Toe-Up-Two-At-A-Time Caron Peacock jumbo yarn. These are a little too big for me, so a friend will get them. I need to get them in the mail quickly before summer takes over.

Reviewing this pattern again was fun. I like getting to know a pattern to reinforce my memory, so I don’t need to look at YouTube or patterns. I rate this pattern and this yarn 100! I love it. The above URL takes you to Happee’s Ravelry page. But here are my favorite YouTube tutorials for this sock. These ROCK!

I know I shared this before, but I feel someone who hasn’t seen it might need it. Therefore I feel no remorse at the repeat. Repetition helps all of us learn.

According to the pattern, the following is one of the best ways to bind off.

Roughly speaking, I rarely can make a pair of socks in less than a week. Reasonably speaking, it takes two weeks to a month as I rarely work on one pair at a time. I always have a bunch of projects going on. It helps keep my hands from hurting by changing out sizes and yarns.

I guess I should reflect on my novel Reflexions. Yikes, lots of research and very little actual writing. So I may have to lower my expectations for this month. I may only get only a couple thousand words. But I am still loving the story, so I will do the best I can and continue next month.

Okay, it is getting late. Time to retire and relax. Despite the kookiness, this was

A to Z Challenge, Q (Sorry)


Quickly, because I still have a ton of real-life stuff to do,

Quietly, so as to calm my soul

Questioningly, I wonder why I am here instead of doing Du—o, True!

I realized this was a quirky mess that I should

QUIT!

(See ya tomorrow. This wasn’t a cry for help unless a teacher wanted to quiz me on horrid poetry. I just needed to get Q out of the queue!)

A To Z Challenge, N


Nowadays, my NaNo is slowing down. Creating beings and planets, including new languages, is so hard for me. It is hard enough to describe things I can see and touch. Creating beyond those languages I am playing with seems impossible. So writing fast and a lot is not working for the moment. I have to think through everything. And all this using other beings’ viewpoints. This book has mermaids that can travel in space in a cloud of their own environment. But they can’t look like OUR mermaids, can they? Would we like them and want to help them if they are ugly? That’s not nice, but it is a fact of our nature we need to overcome. Not easy. So over the next few days, I will try to acquaint myself with creatures of undetermined qualities from places never known. They’ll need names, beings, and planets. Welcome to my world: NaNotopia!

By the way, I don’t think I’ve shared the current cover art.


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “starts with mono.” Find a word that starts with “mono” and use it in your post. Enjoy!

Mono Lake is one of the most enchanting places on Earth. On a solo drive from Southern California to Reno it captured my imagination during a rest stop at sunset. I wish I had taken pictures. The tufa looked like fairy castles and the little flies were the fae. Please click on the underlined Mono to see a bit of wonder. As I pulled into the scenic view “Time to Say Goodbye” was playing on my Camry’s CD player.

My favorite song, I think.

Here’s another view of Mono Lake:

Be glad I chose not to tell you about my non-kissed mononucleosis. The lake is far cheerier !🤪

A to Z Challenge, L


Let me be honest. Lately, laziness lulls around me. Loosely speaking, I lean towards lolly-gagging and shenanigans. Little gets done that isn’t fun. At least for me. But I am busier than ever. And I better get going as I’m going to be late.

A to Z Challenge, K


As I am looking to buy Avatar 2, Way of Water, I was reminded of Blockbuster’s past. “Be Kind, Please Rewind.”

So can we assume that losing the tapes is why kindness is hard to find? Just asking. I know it is still out there. But isn’t it like a sweet Kiss when you find it? And doesn’t it feel wonderful knowing you have passed it on, that you’ve made someone’s day?

Well, I have to keep this short as I have to write a review for an audiobook and a Kindle.

Because it was the ‘K’ word I could find. 🙂
