“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress” Philip Roth

The Four Stages

My mind racing
A mile a minute
Restless pacing
Time not infinite

Head filled
With many stories
Not too thrilled
Of those inventories

Work in progress
Rather than in press
Not an offense
Just a defence

The stages of writing
Clear in my head
Would rather be
Or staying in bed

I hate it, I love it
I am up, I am down
I am all around
Unable to commit

Now needed
Some simple planning
Write until depleted
Then only be fanning
When a task is completed

Block, What Block? (TBT)

“Writing about a writer’s block is better than not writing at all” Charles Bukowski

Block, What Block?

Deadline approaches
Shoving off the roaches
Clearing the table
Computer enabled

Typing, typing, typing

Trickles of sweat
On my forehead
Writing some more
Oh what a bore

Writing, writing, writing

Reading out loud
Feeling kind of proud
Even without a crowd
Sitting on a cloud

I love it
I feel uplifted
Its pure golden
Feeling bolden

Continuing my writing

Reading back
I feel the lack
Lost the right track
I am a quack

I hate it
It’s utter shit
My writing sucks
What the fuck

Almost quitting
Seems fitting
Maybe try knitting
Before I am splitting

Delete, delete, delete

Giving it a third try
Even though feeling dry
No pain no gain
I need a new aim

Writing, writing, writing

Finally done
Hesitation all gone
Task completed
Feeling depleted

Reading, reading, reading

Not half bad
Finally feeling glad
Afraid of changing my mind again
I hit send

Mundane Monday 2016-03-14

POSTED IN MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #50
Poetry, Photography, Humour

“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored” David Byrne

Mundane Monday 2016-03-14

It’s Monday again
I tried to stay in bed
Sleep in
But why bother
For next week
Another Monday
Will raise its head

Garfield 2

“Meow” means “woof” in cat.”—George Carlin (comedian)

An homage to the Lasagne Loving Cartoon Cat: Garfield (Caturday)

Everyday, eat lasagne
That can be most fun ‘ya
The cutest fat cat
Who really likes to chat
The orange tabby
With words of stabby
A fun loving creature
In a cartoon feature
Love ‘im, hate ‘im
You still can’t help to grin

“Never trust a smiling cat” Garfield

Anecdote Time

“As we grow older, our bodies get shorter and our anecdotes longer” Robert Quillen

Anecdote Time

Never judge a book by its cover. A paperback can be just as entertaining as hardcover.

If you want to dwell in the past, buy yourself a time machine.

You have to learn how to walk before you can run. I found out that the hard way after my hip-surgery.

Looking into a mirror is like… Well, you obviously need to take a selfie!

Time, time, precious time, where have you gone? Don’t tell me, you lost your watch again?

In my youth, the grass was always greener, food tasted better and life was much happier… Then we woke up and put the dog out to pee.

Walking a mile in someone else’s shoes… Be damned sure they are the same size as your own ones!

Today, I woke up, the day was stormy, the skies were gray, my mind felt dull... Well, you can’t always expect to be in the tropics, now can you Dearie?

Don’t do as I do, do as I say! Apparently, you can get away with murder?

People who are smart, beautiful and talented… Really piss me off!

Blogging 201, Day Eight: Widget Visibility

Blogging 201, Day Eight: Widget Visibility

Widgets: can there possibly be anything left to learn? Yes! Time to dig in to widget visibility.

Today’s takeaway: learn to specify exactly which widgets appear on which posts or pages by using the visibility settings built in to each one.

Action time! Adjust the visibility settings of one of your widgets. You can always undo it, but get a sense of how the settings work.

Blogging 201, Day Eight: Widget Visibility

Using widget visibility to your advantage

* Hide your Flickr Widget on posts tagged with “photography” if you don’t want Flickr image thumbnails displayed when visitors are viewing a photo-heavy post. (There is such a thing as image overload!) (Select Hide and add Tag is Photography.)

* If you have a group blog, show the Twitter Widget of the appropriate contributor on posts tagged with that author. (Select Show and add Author is [Contributor’s Name].)

* If you’re an author, hide the custom Image Widgets linking to your books on your “Books” page to avoid duplicate information. (Select Hide and add Page is Books.)

* Hide the widget displaying your blogroll on a “Favorites” page, which may also be full of links. (Select Hide and add Page is Favorites.)

I was playing around with the visibility settings a little bit today. I found it useful for the sidebar to be visible for the pages and posts. It’s very easy to navigate back and forth, when the options are handy on the right hand side, rather than using the back button or having to scroll endlessly.

The “hide” and “unhide” is an great option, if you have specific widgets and it was great to have learnt the how-to today:)

Keep calm and keep on blogging!
