“I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences” Harvey Pekar

One, Two

It started with a few
Then there were two
Only remaining
A single one
Nothing to be done
The time for Winter
Has finally come

Part Four: Winter

“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer” Albert Camus

Winter

Brightness surrounding
Snow’s blanket covers all
Feeling my heart pounding
Cannot help but feeling small
The world seemingly wider
Nothing, but snow as a divider

Part Three: November

“November always seemed to me the Norway of the year” Emily Dickinson

November

Endless darkness has fallen
The sun elsewhere been stolen
Searching for a bright spot
Is like trying to change the plot

Part Two: Autumn Foliage

“Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night” Hal Borland

Autumn Foliage

The colours are of plenty
The wind cooling gently
Nature filled with changes
Much like the turning of pages

“Oh, the summer night, Has a smile of light, And she sits on a sapphire throne” Bryan Procter

Summer

The colours lush and green
No rain nor snow was seen
On a warm summer’s night
Both stars and skies were bright

Amore

Oh L’amour
The word itself, pure glamour

Love
If it fits like a glove
Like the two proverbial doves
On a branch busy at tweet
Generating more heat
Than a red glowing stove

Love knows no gender
Love knows no age
Love is always tender
Love knows no hate

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

Sitting in Cyprus, Part Two

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

“Because it’s a seat”

Sitting in Cyprus, Part One

A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

Writing 101, Day Twenty: Wrap it up

PART ONE:
Writing 101, Day Twenty: Wrap it up

best often

“I do like to wrap things up and leave some things to the readers’ imagination” Rick Riordan

Writing 101, Day Twenty: Wrap it up

Congratulations! You’ve reached the final day of Writing 101. We hope these prompts have encouraged you to brainstorm and write in new ways and introduced you to new tools and resources.

As we wind down the course, let’s wrap things up and look forward. Some final prompts to choose from, if you’d like:

Publish a course wrap-up:

* What did you enjoy or dislike?
* Describe a day, assignment, or Commons exchange in which you experienced an “aha!” moment.
* In December, I plan to . . .
* 5, 10, 20 years from now . . .

Thanks so much for joining us this month! You can continue to post and comment on the Commons for another week. Next Friday, December 4, we’ll disable posting/commenting access, but you’ll always be able to view and browse the site in the future.

“It’s always hard to wrap up a series. The longer I spend with the characters, the more they become like friends” Rick Riordan

Writing 101: All Wrapped Up

* What did you enjoy or dislike?
* Describe a day, assignment, or Commons exchange in which you experienced an “aha!” moment.
* In December, I plan to . . .
* 5, 10, 20 years from now

* What did you enjoy or dislike?

I plead the fifth on this particular question:P

We all have our different point of views to writing and blogging, what is fun or interesting to another blogger, may not be “all that” for someone else. All and all, I posted something each day, even though it might not have been right on the topic 😉

“Never give up, never surrender, full speed ahead!”

* Describe a day, assignment, or Commons exchange in which you experienced an “aha!” moment.

For me personally, every day is an “aha!” moment day. Ideas can be found in music, news, books and yes, even television. Of course given a direct prompt is even better!

* In December…

I plan to take three more courses for WordPress Blogging University. I have already registered for the open courses. That being said, I also plan to go on a one week trip and possibly run another set of Travel blog posts. The other option is to just lay by the pool and close my laptop all together!

* 5, 10, 20 years from now?

Bollywood or Hollywood, which ever comes first 😉 Seriously though, despite my long career in IT and customer service before that, I would like my third career to be somewhere in the arts, preferably writing, snapping pix and even some videographic endeavours.

“Madam Producer, did you pick up on that and take a hint… an aspiring writer looking for a gig!”

Keep Calm and Blog on

A great big thanks to the trainers and fellow bloggers!
And remember: Keep calm and keep on blogging Ya’ll!
