Tired Tuesday?
Keeping darkness at bay
Light snow in the early morning hours
Maybe later some hail and rain showers

Mundane Monday?
No, not today
Snow, snow and then some
What more is yet to come?

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
Setting limits on your writing can be both liberating and productive, as you may have noticed in Day 1’s timed free-write and yesterday’s word count exercise. Let’s incorporate a different restriction: write a post that takes place during one single day.
It might seem hard, at first, to tell a compelling story with such a limited temporal horizon: you have no recourse to flashbacks, backstory, or foreshadowing (unless it’s in reference to something about to take place that same day). But the narrow confines of one single day will encourage you to zoom in on rich, telling details.
But remember: recreating a single day doesn’t automatically mean describing every detail. This assignment is very much about editing — and focusing on the right details.
How will you use 24 hours as your story’s canvas? Here are examples:
* Start in the middle of the action, then zig and zag through time, from the moment you woke up to the last thing that happened before you retired for the night.
* Structure your story as a play-by-play (or hour-by-hour) account, complete with precise time markers.
* Zoom in even further, limiting yourself to just one hour of your chosen day.
* Ignore these instructions and reveal one day’s significance indirectly, through focusing on its aftermath
“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary” Gerard Way
Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
For this particular assingment, I decided to go with a completely different approach. I have kind of had a head start for the overall idea of “recreating a single day” since Monday.
I am running a trial of posts this under the theme of “Ordinary Days”, where I am capturing the events of the day in few simple sentences accompanied by daily photos taken during each day. The trial itself was a good idea, unfortunately my life, as it turns out is filled with more work than ever! But still, well worth the while the effort 😉
Maybe Friday will bring a change, since it is after, fabulous!

Monday, 16th of November
Today, Monday
I woke up
Showered
Drove to work
The sun rose
Snapped a few snaps
Worked some
Had a lunch break
Snapped a few snaps
Worked some more
Had a coffee break
Snapped a few snaps
Working day ended
Drove home
Posted some blogs
Went to sleep
Dreaming of tomorrow
It will be Tuesday…

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green
Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red
The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade
The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.” Jo Walton
Monday Morning Sunrise
Standing there, stunned
As the early morning sun
Making quite the display
When, lighting up the skies
In its unique and fiery way
But oh, how time flies
Still, wishing to remain
For a little while at least
But, unfortunately, duty calls
Oh, that necessary beast
Slowly making my way
To another mundane Monday
Secretly hoping of tomorrow
For another piece of beauty
To let me borrow

Mundane Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work
