Knightly Scribblings of the Year

Well Colour Me Pink

Hello there,


         Well, imagine my surprise to login in today to see a notification that Wordsmitty ✍️ has tagged my blog in "Blogging Bliss Newsletters Published" . This truly humbles me. It's just an entry in a list of new blogs, but to me, it means a lot. I couldn't help but share the news with my family. I felt absolutely energized, so I went through all the blogs I found myself listed with commenting where I thought I could say something.


         In my tour of the blogs and portfolios that were also featured in this newsletter, I came across a group called "Destination: Goal Zone" . Their mission statement is "[...] to help each other reach our goals." That seemed to be something I need so I submitted my three goals: #1. to write a review once a week with the deadline being Saturday #2. do ten sit-ups every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday #3. write and read a poem each month. I'll be self-reporting my progress on the daily and weekly here and giving a bi-monthly update over there on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. I talked about the first one in my last post, and I think the second is an obvious one to understand. However, the third one, I think, deserves a little explanation on my part.


         You see, I've never been good with poetry. I don't really know why. Barely anything regarding poetry remains in my mind from school, and beyond that, I have had very little exposer to the art form. A good amount of the blame for that lies undoubtedly with myself. I have read and dabbled a little in writing my own in the past, but lately, I have been getting the itch to really take a plunge into the world of prose, rhythm, and rhyme. I have a couple of books on my shelf now of poems by a couple of authors, and I will be reading from those as I experiment with my own writing.


         It has been an exciting day, a new week has begun, and January is almost over.


Deus Vult Gratia,


KS
