| Hello, Just wanted to wish everyone a merry Xmas & happy New Year. Have been quite busy with blogs. Have installed Mobi Office & Mobi drive. Having fun with that. I have three outlets for blogging. All the best for 2026. Cheers Fred |
| Have a safe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Fred! |
| Hello, sorry for not being in touch. Been a bit under the weather. I have a Udemy course on poetry. I want to excel in poetry. I've been doing AI (artificial intelligence) content; I have three AI apps. The garden needs work. The guitar is coming on. Have been working out what to do with my time. I have a blog, and I'm also interested in Gardening, Guitar, computers, and photography. All the best . Fred |
| Hi there, it's Saturday. Slept well last night . I'm on the pension now, turned 65 in May. Practise my Guitar most days. I've been gardening & have been propagating some flower seed. Find it hard to organise my time. I make a list & work through it, don't complete too bad. I have other pursuits that are discretionary. Spring is on its way & the weather seems to be improving. Fred |
| Winter (poem) Benearh a cloak of icy white, Silent whispers of the night. Frost-kissed trees in shimmers grace, Frozen breath in winter's embrace, Peace in the cold, a quiet delight |
| I wonder if “Frozen breath” fragment before “Frost-kissed” might sound better? Great visual and sensory connections. If lengthening, suggest continuing on path by converting “Peace” and “quiet” into a shared reader-writer connection. I have favorite places I’ve visited in these conditions that remind how what I wore handled the elements, places (graveyard, train tracks, separated from society), or what my mind was considering (theme). This is nature romanticism and capable of a transcendent moment from a journey of the mind we all can relate with. The Night Before Christmas with its visions serves as a great witness guide to put us in a scene akin to this. Though, this has existential makings. |
| Hello, how's things? Have been managing some mental issues. Yesterday, I went fishing at the harbour with some mates. Are doing or starting courses in poetry, photography & flute. Or that's the idea. We are shifting into Autumn here. A time to think about planting bulbs. I have a passion for blogging. It's an outlet & creative. Bye Fred |
| Nearly Autumn for you means nearly Spring for those of us north of the equator. Keep taking care of yourself and doing whatever you can to enjoy yourself, Fred. |
| Hello, how are things? I am well. Interested in poetry & artificial intelligence at the moment. Looking forward to Xmas dinner. Have a new app called " Living Writer". Don't read as much as I would like e.g. books. Doing an online course in writing. I would like to write something. Merry Xmas everyone.Fred |
| Hello, nothing much to report. I live in the city now. I turned 64 back in May. Life is not so bad. I could want to write a book but not sure I have been doing enough reading. I am not sure I could. Bye Fred |
| Hi Fred, the hardest thing for me about writing my first book was getting the words from my brain to the paper. I recommend you just write it down. Going old school using pen, lined paper, and cursive is best. Play softly some classical music in the background, like Mozart or Hayden's string quartet, to coax the artist within you out. Don't worry about spelling or punctuation. Write out what you want people to know in any order that comes out of the pen. Later, you can reflect on what sounds best while your reading/reviewing it. |
