“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed” Ernest Hemingway

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-19

For this week’s quote, I chose a little something to encourage all us writers; two simple guidelines to follow. Well, basically it is one and the same but for your reading pleasure, please find both the original and updated version.

“This is how you do it: You sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it is done. It’s that easy, it’s that hard.” Neil Gaiman

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime” Linus Torvalds

A Visit to Kamppi: Three

Artistic or snobbery?
Or just plain highway robbery?
Beauty, art and sound
Can only truly be found
In the eye of the beholder
In that very special folder

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime” Linus Torvalds

A Visit to Kamppi: Two

When left is nothing more to shop
Many of the passengers at the bus stop
Eagerly into a transit will pop
Keeping a distance to the strangers
Good Lord knows what dangers
May lurk behind a simple “hello”

“Helsinki isn’t all that bad. It’s a very nice city, and it’s cold really only in wintertime” Linus Torvalds

A Visit to Kamppi: One

A trip to the City Centre
Can be an extreme adventure
For a ‘gal from the suburbs
Can easily get into trouble
With many a temptations
Luring in the odd location

“Complaining is easy, writing is hard” Gun Roswell

Why I Write

Why do I write?

Simply, because it feels right
If I did not write
The page would be quite white
Therefore, I continue to write

Write more, complain less!

Because of winter
Quite the opposite
Of pure white

“I’m from Sweden, so I don’t enjoy winter at all; there’s nothing cute about it” Lykke Li

White (Mundane Monday 2016-01-18) Two

Oh winter, oh winter
Don’t think I am bitter
But to be honest
I wish you to be gone-st
I really loved you at first
Now I am dying of thirst
Of a summer that is
So hear me please
And be gone!

“I love the Mediterranean for the fact that winter is over in a minute, and the almond blossom arrives in January” Jade Jagger

White (Mundane Monday 2016-01-18) One

Whiter than white
The blanket so tight
Woven onto the ground
And into our minds

Yes it’s winter
Oh joy!?

(She says sarcastically
What she means really)

Quite the splinter
And a clever ploy!

First it was nice
Now it seems
You are staying
Just of spite
