There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laugh as you sleep. it will make you stride like a tiger.'. I love this line especially from Bukowski's declaration. 'There is no losing in writing. For more of Bukowski's tough-guy hard-earned writerly wisdom, click on his name in the Labels below this post. He has a lot to say on the craft and separati...

A Blog of One's Own: Pocket Poems for Poetry Day
http://a-blog-of-ones-own.blogspot.com/2015/05/pocket-poems-for-poetry-day.html
A Blog of One's Own. A Writer on Writing, the World, Random Reflections and Rants. Thursday, 7 May 2015. Pocket Poems for Poetry Day. Pocket poems as a venture have been doing the rounds for a while in America. And I just love the idea of them. They make poetry so accessible. And personal. And keepsake-able. But I fantasize about the day when poems are handed out as leaflets in the street to passers-by. Imagine! Perhaps poetry's greatest attribute and side-effect. Try it :). 11 May 2015 at 11:46. Budding...

As an insatiable reader I would automatically answer the question the title of this post poses with a vehement No. But as a writer, I'm beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as reading too much. Like a see-saw, will one go down if the other goes up? It's all about achieving balance. And recently my scales have been off (by a truckload of books). To read. All wr...

A Blog of One's Own. A Writer on Writing, the World, Random Reflections and Rants. Sunday, 24 May 2015. There is something I need to write here. Something I need to acknowledge with words. Two days ago, someone I knew, someone so young, so good, so great, died. All of a sudden. Just like that. Since, I have tried to put words to the devastation of it, but it's been impossible. Billy Collins was right -"how feeble our vocabulary in the face of death/how impossible to write it down. Paul was always one of ...

No sun outlasts its sunset but will rise again and bring the dawn.'. Maya Angelou died last month. Poet, writer, human rights campaigner, compassionate crusader. The epitaphs attributed to her have taken measure of all of these. And such an outpouring there has been. I first heard of Maya Angelou when I came across her famous poem ' Still I Rise'. She overcomes all h...

life of a writer: September 2012
http://shadowwriterworld.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Life of a writer. Life as a teen Christian writer. Monday, September 10, 2012. Sneak by Evan Angler - Team Novel Teen Blog Tour. In a future United States under the power of a charismatic leader, everyone gets the Mark at age thirteen. The Mark lets citizen shop, go to school, and even get medical care—but without it, you are on your own. Few refuse to get the Mark. Those who do . . . disappear. When the Dust finally arrives in the capital, it seems that all their careful planning is useless against a go...

His Handmaiden: February 2010

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Vespetilio ( Another Tag). Found this on a blog and thought it very interesting. Put your ipod (or playlist) on shuffle and the use the titles that come up as the answer to your questions. If someone says "This is okay", you say:. Dances With Wolves (Well, I guess if I wanted to be totally random.). What would best describe your personality? Song for the King ( Great, I strive for it.). What do you like in a guy/girl? Pride and Prejudice (Not really). What is your motto?

Thirst for Purity: garden of roses
http://thirstforpurity.blogspot.com/2015/08/garden-of-roses.html
August 3, 2015. Since I was little, I have had three dreams for my life, three desires the Lord planted in my heart from an early age: The first is to one day become a wife and mother; the second, to become an author, for I'm sure you know how I love to write! And thirdly, but certainly not least of all in importance, to live for Christ and strive to give Him the glory with all I have and am. He is so above me in character and sweetness! But I tore myself away with my sister's help, and walked from the b...
