July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| Your Favorite Joke: little self serving, but for the final prompt I'd like you to blog about your feelings about the weekly format, giving feedback and constructive criticism. You could even rehash your favorite prompt, or even your least favorite.  My least favorite joke is having the electricity go off while I'm writing my blog. I guess I don't have a favorite joke although once in awhile I come across some really funny life Ideas. Such as in Germany all the kids are Kinder. Kinder is the German spelling for Kids. Now the weekly format: Motivation Mondays, Talk Tuesdays, War Chest Wednesdays, Thursdays Wild Cat Round, Fun Fact Friday, Creation Saturday, and Sunday News. I like the subjects. Sometimes it's difficult to get out my Saturday creation and Sunday News. But, I kind of figure it might be easier for some people to use Saturday and Sunday for these possibly lengthy spots so I don't sweat it. Saturday and Sunday are odd days here anyway. I take Sundays off just to read and Saturdays anything can happen. So, I guess I'm just saying the weekly format is something I make work if I want to blog with the 30-Day-Challenge. If they make changes I will see if I can keep on keepin on. BLOG ON! See YA! |
| There are some very interesting bloggers on this site, not least of which is our Official Host (540) . For Day 29 I'd like you to do 2 things. 1. Go to any of his various blogs and leave a detailed comment on any of posts. 2. Next, I'd like you to use any of his blog posts as inspiration for a blog entry in your own blog.  I read a Sunday March 11, post 5-sixer wrote. I have to say he can move across a lot of subjects quickly, and the comments make sense. I took a short poetry course from New Horizons Academy on WDC. It only proved what I already suspect. I'm not a poet. Nevertheless, one of the suggestions I use regularly is read at least one poem a day. That has become one of the most entertaining ideas I am following in 2018. The course did not go into the subject of meters but, I subscribed to the Poetry news letter. Recently they ran an article about meter which shines some light on the subject. So, my education moves forward in this area. I'm obsessed now with the idea that something I might write two pages worth of information about can be stated in a 12 stanza poem and reach the emotions of the reader in a dramatic way. For instance I thought I did not like the works of Edgar Allen Poe, then I found this: So, I've graduated to looking at poetry in a different way. I can now look at something that seems obscure at first and find a source of new thought and mystery or emotion. Being human is an awesome way to live.  from a truly amateur poet - see ya!apondia#1781748 |
