30 Day Blogging PROMPT July 3rd Describe a missed opportunity you encountered, and how things might have been different if you hadn't missed it. I feel like fictionalizing this... playing with my dreams, in a way. On Tuesday the Paris Writing Workshop began. It is a month long immersion into writing in Paris. It is a dream of mine to go to something so wonderful. But time and expense... as well as this year's pandemic make that not possible... even if I could afford it. I'm even curious if the workshops are even happening. When I printed out my copy of the month's agenda, there was no talk of the pandemic... I have not checked the website since. https://pariswritingworkshops.com/ So if all was set and I was able to go... without the worry of catching covid-19, I would head out so I would be able to arrive in Paris, perhaps a few days early to explore Paris on my own at first and get over some of the jet lag that would set in. Paris is 6 hours ahead of my usual time. Bring able to immerse myself in the experience before going to the Paris American Academy Office on July 1 would be fabulous. Having already met a few friends in a Paris Writing group this spring, I would meet up with some of them to see the Paris they know and enjoy. Since many of them have been in Paris for years, they will know the best places to visit - places not so touristy... though I will be getting to the Shakespeare and Co bookshop either with them or on my own. Alone I could browse for hours and make sure to make at least one purchase so that I have a reminder of the place and the time. The workshop itself would be an immersive experience. Monday to Friday full of writing workshops and plenty of time to meet new writers who share my love of the written word. I would be certain to take the optional French language classes each morning during the week and on weekends I would join my friends at the Unicornor's Cafe to write and chat. I might even take one of their Sunday morning trips to walk the trails and write surrounded by nature. Even thinking of this makes the possibility possible. |
30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT July 2nd We all know the mood-ring fad of the 70’s only predicted body temperature and not necessarily mood, but what if people could actually see your emotions, like an aura of color surrounding you. Would you try to mask it, display it proudly, or something in between? Having just finished reading The Catalain Book of Secrets by Jess Lourey, this prompt resonates. I highly recommend the book, by the way. Several of the witches in the Catalain family have the ability to see other's emotions and pain. I think it is a very cool attribute to possess. Particularly when an aura of colour surrounds you. I think I would proudly display my colour... though I would wonder, would everyone be able to see it or just those attune to the idea? |
