In response to "Beauty in aging"

I'm with Sue on doing everything you can while you can Kåre เลียม Enga

Sue, I was a force to be reckoned with when it came to doing things until 3 years ago, and then I took that crazy fall off the ladder. That fall broke not just my feet and damaged two discs in my back and tore the cartilage in my knee but it stole my fearlessness in doing things. Now I find I'm afraid of doing anything that might be risky where I never used to worry about the possibilities.
I've never cared about physical appearances, the things that mattered most to me was doing the things I dreamed of doing like hiking in Bryce Canyon, traveling to all the National Parks, dancing all night with my hubby and then walking together as the sunrises. I've accomplished a few parks and danced with my hubby but not all night and thankfully we've seen a lot of sunrises together.

In response to "Beauty in aging"

Grasp life with both hands. While you can travel do it, Kare. It’s the thing which gives you most joy and happiness. The warmer weather will do those aging bones good too. You don’t have to hop skip and jump to enjoy an outdoor food market or just sit and chat to a stranger. We need to find our pleasures where we can before it’s too late. Looking forward to reading your observations from Penang.

I am definitely faded. I'm doing this 10 week trip to prove to myself that I can. I don't hop, skip and jump. 42 stairs up may yet do me in.

In response to "Risky business "

You did take huge risks, didn't you! But I applaud you for every single one of them. I think you are better off for taking all those risks that made you a strong person.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

I know what you mean about not wanting to go back and edit my work, and I do cringe when people review older work of mine.

I don't have answers either.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

It is interesting. My Grandmother left some post cards from friends which I read and added to my stamp collection. I have a pair of her earrings also that I saw her wear once. Even elderly she was beautiful. Now I wonder who else may have left written things in Grandmas family.

In response to "Midnight. A story for little ones."

Very nice story. Once on a trail ride. We stopped to eat our roast beef sandwiches. The pony I was riding wanted some and yes ate its share roast beef and all.

It would definitely make a great children's story.

In response to "Revenge"

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

In response to "Cliche "

Really loved the grittiness of the first poem, taking something that normally brings a sense of wonder, awe and joy into something grim and cynical (and I’m not even really the biggest fan of that style of storytelling). So great job there.

The clock one was eerie as heck, but I loved it. I kind of interpreted it as if the clock turned sentient. Amazing work all around. Faved to reference as inspiration later

Television

PROMPT May 24th

Write about a movie or television show you watched recently that blew you away. What lessons can you learn from the show and incorporate into your own writing?

I can’t honestly say that a television show could blow me away.🤔 I haven’t been to the movies for over a year so no help there either. My portfolio is full of such a wide range of stories and themes I do wonder where my inspiration comes from sometimes, but certainly not from television.
The last series I watched and enjoyed was Breaking Bad. There were some great characters in that certainly, but the subject material, drugs and murder aren’t something which inspires me.
I do love a well written police drama, not American though. Line of Duty is an amazingly well written series. The dialogue is so impressive. If I could learn to write scripts and dialogue like that, I’d die happy.🤣 I’ve a leaning toward British programmes.

Call me anything

PROMPT May 23rd

Write about nicknames. What nicknames do you have for people in your life? What nicknames do others use to refer to you? Do any of these names have an interesting story for how they came to be?

Oh dear, this prompt is hard, I don’t usually give nicknames but in Australia particularly names always get shortened. My friends Karen and Gary are Kazaa and Gazza,
I’ve found that a lot of people with nicknames which sound nothing like their proper names derived from a younger sibling’s attempts at trying to pronounce their names.
My granddaughter who is thirty now still gets called Boo. Her name is really Beth but got called Bethyboo when she was tiny.
It’s funny with our dog Lucy, she gets called so many different names like: Loopy, Loo loo, dog, Lucile. She comes to anything so long as you have food!
