Poisoned Purple Pen

by Purple Catching Up

Rated: GC · Book · Opinion · #1591550

One writer's journey

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

I hope your finger will feel much better soon!

I am so behind as well.

Thank you so much. I am glad my words hit all the right buttons. I was giggling as I wrote this.

Almost party time! I agree, it's way better to be positive and to find cause for cheer wherever and whenever we can!

I swear it's like we're surrounded by negativity. The only way to turn it around is to start with yourself, so I'm choosing that route. Let's hope it works!

I love how you haven't aged me since 2008! Why that's fantastic. I'll take it.

In response to "Monday, not a fun day"

Running a business is not an easy endeavor. I had mine for 32 years. I never considered doing anything else, so I was never in the position to sell. But I did go through the down-turns and worries. That was enough.

I wish you the best in all your business endeavors.

I like your birthday-high attitude. Why focus on the doom and gloom? Be Dancing anywhere, anytime.

In response to "A tiny little mini rant"

I agree, vent away! Human behaviour is almost always questionable. Customers dismiss the expenses and worries of business owners.

It is perfectly acceptable to have a good rant! That's what blogs are for.

And you sure had a day worth venting about. Hope tomorrow's a better day.

Days like yours makes me glad I'm retired. I'm sorry for your troubles, Miss T.

Come to think of it, I guess I was pretty lucky--I didn't really have terrible days. And if I had a troublesome client, I could finish up the project and move on.

There's nothing like good ol' sunshine. It is inspiring. I like and agree with that quote.

Today's Joy

I am so behind.

And my finger is killing me, making it hard to type.

But I have to give a shout-out to 💙 Carly - March into spring

for this fantastic read!

I wanted to say more in my review, but like I said, my finger is swollen and painful today, so let my little blog post express my appreciation for your creative flash fiction, which kept me on the edge of my seat today.

If you haven't read this, I promise it's worth it!

How to craft a quick read in 300 words or less? Ask Carly

She certainly made EVERY WORD COUNT!
