Revamping Resolution Writerthon
Happy Halloween Everyone. Dont Count this Movement On Voids. I know its been a while since I’ve posted and it’s been a while since Ive been focussed in craft and I’m still having a hard time. My goal this Nanowrimo which starts tomorrow is to develop a routine not so much my word count but days counted and keep that energy throughout the years to come. I want writing to be a lifestyle. I want to be able to fight through the hard days and write on those days too. Doing this will be the ultimate painkiller, the ultimate happy place, the ultimate vacay, the ultimate freedom, the ultimate satisfaction, Something better than Chocolates and Sex. That may be TMI But Thats My truth. Today is Go Time!!!! Treat this site/post on the archives as a Interactive Journal. A place where likeminded people are on your same journey.
Let Us know what you working on and what genre you writing in? What’s the Name Of your WIP what is it about? Where do you want to Publish your Work? Are you doing Self Publishing or Traditional? Be open. Sometimes We all need someone to just listen to our plans and encourage us a say we can do it or we are on the right road of success. This is a safe place to get encouragements and supports and knowledge from people on this site and or WordPress.(People with experience) that may view the site/pages.
Happy Halloween My loves. Start the writers Holiday For the rest of your life with a bang. The Resolution Writerthon is Infinity Squared Eternity. On Going. Can ya’ll hang? I’m hoping I can. I’ll be back enjoy the Holiday My Ghouls and Goblins TTYL

Day #2 of Nanowrimo
I want to start off saying I apologize for missing the Grand Opening Day of the Writers Holiday Month Nanowrimo. I did dive into Craft yesterday I just didnt document my experience yesterday on the site. I did Post a little big yesterday over on X/Twitter. Im going through something that has nothing to do with Craft. And I had to give the masses a heads up and warn them of the dangers of the Unwanteds. Want to know more look me Up on Twitter. @NinthPoetess. Imma keep this post Positive and Refreshing. Yesterday I started a Makeshift Outline for the WIP Im working on. Its Makeshift because Its not traditional as to the ones we learned how to do in school(High school or College). As long as I understand it thats all that counts. Im working on the first act of the Book. Which will be the first 5-6 Chapters. All I have is the Characters Names and the professions and Ages and who they are too each other. I’ll probably have some sidebar characters that wont play a very big roll in scenes of course. My main focus now when I dive back in is coming up with events that leads up too The Eureka Moments I want to happen . Im still trying to figure out What Genre and sub genre I want the book to be. Do I want it to be a thriller? a romance? a historical, Sci Fi etc…. I’m thinking about making it a Historical but not too far back. Maybe the 1960’s. 1962- 1963 The Time frame a Historical can be a minimum of 50 years(GOOGLE Search). Thats not that long ago to be Historical. This should be interesting if I should figure this out today or sometime this week. Welp my Warriors, Lovies, Friends I want to know About your journey . Comment on the Post Archives for RESOLUTION WRITERTHON. We all in this together. Love ya’ll Stay in the Mix and Dont Cast Us On Voids.

Day #4 of Nanowrimo
I am so so so sorry for not posting yesterday. I was caught up doing daily’s. But I did take several hours to work in craft and I have alot of content and ideas for story building and Im pleased with what I have so far. When your knee deep in a WIP time runs away from you like your doing too much. I want to know Making a Semi Fictional Semi Real locations on the the map How do you feel about pantsing Cities and Streets, and Landmarks to Story Build? This is what Im doing in my stories. I havent been outside my city but only a few times let alone the country. So what I come up with will truly be fictional destinations. I Want ya’ll to Enjoy this Saturday and and Dont Cast your Weekend on Voids. Write your hearts out.
Do This:
- Journal your Writerly Journey
- Do a Exercise thats on this Website (Weekly Writers Workshop)
- List some of your writing goals. Make them small to large. My aunt always ask: ” How do you eat a dinosaur? One Bite at a Time.” Give yourself small rewards to make it interesting.
- Get Excited to Write. Do research on agents and self -publish sites picture yourself in the mix along side your favorite authors being successful and “World Wide” Write down the steps to get close and rub elbows with the Elite(Higher Ups)and dont forget them.
I may be back tomorrow With some new Content Or you can find me over on X/Twitter dropping a few lines over there. I’ll be around. Have a Beautiful Weekend My Warriors Lovies & Friends

Day #5 of NANOWRIMO
Its Daylights Savings And Ive been up in it doing Craft. I want to know how ya’ll read your books? I have a preference. I favor books that has a Preface. If the author dont have a Preface I ask ” What are you doing ? Like Literally? the Preface draws me in. It sets up greatness. It give the story depth. This is what Im working on right now With Dont Get Stitched Up. I figured out that the Plot and Characters have out grown one book it may be 2-3 books. I havent even jumped into Mena yet. Imma tackle that sometime today if I dont fall into slumber. Im not in pain and I feel refreshed I may have energy to do it all today. Lets Get It and Dive into Craft with your Muse. He/she Mines a He. He just may set you up with a Series. Something that you didnt start off seeing in youre future. With Dont Get Stitched Up I wanted to do a Novella. I got to Story building and boy did the story take off. This will be a Historical Series maybe up to the present day. Thats how I want to write The O Series. Who does a Series to start their Career in Book Retail? How my mainframe works I dont know if I can write a novella or stand alone Novel. This may be a good thing.
Welp my Warriors, Lovies, Friends, Imma let yall get some breakfast I have alot of work to do. I slept for too long yesterday. Wake on up and wash your face and get the crusties out your eyes. clean your glasses and brainstorm some WIPS today. I love yall Family. Go and Get It Today. Dont Cast Today On Voids. TTYL

Day #6 of Nanowrimo
I’ve hung in there 7 days Ive actually started working on craft on Halloween. Ooh Spooky. Im going strong and Im confident in the 2 stories Im working on Ive decided to wait on The O Series. This Dont Get Stitched Up Series is Something to watch out for. For a Historical Novel its gonna be gangsta. Now I had to decide which book to come out with and start first. Im starting from the very beginning. The late 1800’s in the preface the blueprint on how the Protagonist came into wealth and was able to keep it through the turn of the century. this would be a bomb tv series. Im excited for it. right now im still plotting not actually coming up with dialogue. Im doing what Ive should have been doing last month in Preptober. But thats ok because Resolution WriterThon is infinite. Writing a Preface will make you think about how deep you can go and write it. it will also make you think about whats the most important things that need to be told about this story and what needs to be cut out?right now I think everything is important and valid. Dont Cast Your Creative Abilities On Voids. Write Everything about the story out. Vomit on the Page As the kids say.

Day #8 of NanoWrimo
I apologize for skipping out on Day #7 of Nano. I was so so tired. and Im still tired. yesterday I didnt work on my WIPS. Today I will once I gain momentum. I’m in love with my WIPS. I really do need to get my health together. It’s stopping alot of thing in my life. Yesterday I didnt even eat but a few pieces of candy then I passed out. Dont ya’ll remember your parents tell you no you cant have candy or sweets for dinner. Welp I did just that Im a rebel. I woke up weak ready to pass back out. I fixed tamales and chili cheese and hot salsa. It banged.
Today I hope my progress get stimulated . I’ll be back possibly. Maybe sometime today when the sun comes up after I attack Craft. I love ya’ll if yall up in the midnight hours with your Muse, Treat your Muse right and feed off his energy. Blessings my Warriors, Lovies, Friends.

Day #10 of NanoWrimo
Welcome to the tail end of Day #10 of NanoWrimo. Imma tell ya’ll the truth. Something gotta to give in my focus, in my health and I need to figure out what is most important throughout my days to be able to stack my progress up and see the fruits of my labor. Not all of my issues is health related but it sure isnt helping. Scrolling and piddling about not even spending time with the Warriors and Lovies and Friends but scrolling YouTube and things. And then doing my least thing to do. Cleaning which puts me in pain But makes the household happy including myself. I need to Focus on thy WIPS and nothing else. Not this freaking crime in the city, Not Shorts, Not the news on TV. I need to put my focus on something beneficial and stay on fire for my passions. We may fall short of everyday but we get up and never forget the prime reason why we started in the first place. Keep going Stay in the Mix Dont give up on your projects. Embrace your Muse. Your Valid, Your Dope, Your Worthy. Imma TTYL I Love Yall.

Day #13 of NanoWrimo
Its 13 days in and Im having the Hardest time focussing and things out of my control like my health got me hemmed up against a wall with the Grim Reaper waiting to cut my life short. What can I tell ya’ll about my Writerly Life on day 13 of Nano? Im ready to die for it. Bleed me of my Essence and my soul for it. Whats ever left of my soul thats all well and good, My Muse can have it. Im at the cross roads of my life. The Sandman has more control over what Im doing than me alone. I might as well hand my soul over to free me from Slumber. From one hot skillet to the next. Am I willing to pay that price. I dont know. Ill sleep the rest of my day here on earth if Im free for all eternity. I dont believe in Judgement. At least I want to erase that from my mental. i believe we go to a place that is welcoming and a hug to the soul. Why would God embarrass you and belittle you at death and send you to a painful place like death wasnt enough. Imma stop I shouldnt analyze the Good book. I believe all of us have sinned on earth all of us have good in us. I believe we go to where and what we believe and those places are not the same and further away from where our opps are that we wont beef anymore in death. and just maybe all is forgotten in death whether we want to keep a memory or not. What Im talking about is very controversial. I read somewhere today they have a science that can explain where and what happens when someone dies. I myself am morbid and I want to know. Would any of you want to know what happens to you at death and even where you go? They made a Movie that answered some of our questions in 1990 and also the remake in 2017. its called Flatliners.I havent seen the remake. the original is off the handle. What do you want so bad that your willing to go to the Crossroads and risk your all for. is anything worth having that bad? Thats the question of the Week. Whats worth risking it all for? CAn you handle the eternal consequences or do you believe the only consequences anyone have is the consequences we give ourselves from what we believe the Good Book have taught us and what our society have taught us. In death I believe theres no more society we go where our soul and spirit deem its safe. ive heard stories from people who’ve died before and came back and they say where ever they went it was pitch black and it was a void it was nothing out there. my imagination will not allow me to be in a pitch black space like that. I will see when I aint suppose to see something. When I transition I want to be as far away from Earth As i can go and see something beautiful safe and New. Hell is Earth. We just in Purgatory. The waiting room and none of us is getting out alive. next level is Dying. Im sorry im being Morbid. Losing my grandma and then my moma less than 5 years apart and then having health issues myself I think like this more than often. Happiness is what I want to be able to be comfortable writing and gaining a routine and loving it would be a gift from the Almighty. Its what is important to me. Imma get there even if I have to make a deal with a entity. hoping the cost wont break me and my spirit. Amen Like my spirit and soul isnt already broken now. For the rest of my existence I be tempted to open Pandora Box or make that last Deal with soul ties. Whats worth it is the Question? This is making me think.

Day #19 of Nanowrimo
It’s day 19 of Nano. Where are you in your Journey? Are you fueled up and greased up and ready to rock and roll? Today I wanna talk about writing Movie Scripts.. Did ya’ll know Walmart Online has Pre-owned books Type exactly what your looking for in the sites search engine. (Pre-owned Screenwriting Books On Writing) and you should get a list of some inexpensive books to invest in. This is the best way to learn how to be scriptwriter. Buy Used & Pre-Owned. These books can be pricey buying New. If your writing a Crime Thriller you may need Procedural Books Like Martin Roth’s Crime Reference Books and there many other books of that kind. Police procedurals like Cause of death and Malicious Intent. this is the names of the books dont quote me on the names of the authors. You have to do research and find these books. Their kind of like textbooks for college kids going to Universities.Also utilize the glossary of Script writing terms thats on the Writers Prompts Page on this site. Come up with your story and dialogue first and picture in your mind the actors thats gonna be learning their parts. Write the script first then explore capturing the scenes on video. Look for Used video equiptment after you done writing at pawnshops Try and talk the down on price if you can. Do some research other places first and see the going price for video equipment. Do a small casting call at a library. Reserve a conference room for your future actors youll be working with. This is the fun part. Interaction with people who respect your work. This Update has taken me awhile because I was Piddling over on TUBI and came across this Urban Paranormal Independent Movie It fired me up to have screenwriting as a subject for Resolution WriterThon. You have to hire more than just actors you need formatters and someone who know special effects, lighting Etc…..or you can teach yourself. One person could probably do it all but why? Pull someone up with you. Get you a legal aid to bounce questions off of for if you need a permit to shoot a movie in your city. Its alot to know in trying to keep you safe legally and financially you may have to create a publishing company and register it with your state especially if you plan on paying your actors and crew for their work. But first things first, WRITE THE SCRIPT and DONT HOLD BACK, THE SKY ISNT FAR ENOUGH THE OUT SKIRTS OF THE GALAXY IS HOME. Have fun writing make it as colorful as you can. Everything else treat it as something thats leading you to greatness. Dive in. I’ll be around.

Day#29 of Nanowrimo
Hows did your Nanowrimo treat you this year? Its almost over just do what you can for it. There’s always Resolution WriterThon going on. You can start and stop anytime for when Life starts Living. I on no time clock and maybe I really should be. I might get somethings done but, I dont work well under pressure. What have been some of your rewards youve given yourself this month? Have yall been participating in Nano this year even if its been a day? Nano and life done kick my butt. Do me a favor ya’ll stay young forever dont get old in your body. It Hurts like Hell. I would wish my pain and woes on my worst enemy. I want them to hurt and feel pain at the very least. This month havent been the greatest of greats. But Im still here thats what counts. Whats going on today? Im fighting a migraine and a runny nose. Sitting here trying to come up with dope content.
Character & World Building
Character Building: Character building consist of doing Character Profiles. Google Character Profiles Templates and find one that resonate with you. but Like I said Before Reedsy is the One Stop shop for all things Craft they have a Character Profile Template System to use heres the Link:
Link:https://blog.reedsy.com/character-profile/
Link: http://babynames.com
Download the free templates and copy the blank template and keep using a copy of a template for new characters you may come up with. Keep the original blank. The more you give your character a personality and life they give realism to your story and plot. Have Fun being creative.
Having difficulties giving characters a name and face and personality try finding a great name for them with the link above. Always have fun
World Building
Use past world events or events from your imagination. Events from your imagination is best. You can be as creative as your mind can go. Channel place from pictures or magazines or images online across the globe. Or a story from looking at premade book covers Formatters are selling. Do whatever you need to to keep the juices flowing and keep you invested in the story to the very end.
Always Have Fun

PREP MONTH FOR 2024
Nanowrimo is over and done. The stress of it all has ceased. Lets give ourselves some new Goals so we all can continue to move forward on our Book Babies. Things your gonna need for your Journey next year:
- Writer Planners: Writer PLanners are just Blank Monthly Planners that you can fill with all things craft. Blocked out times to write, blocked out times to spend with Agent, Blocked out time to Market or spend on Social Media conversing with your readers, Blocked out time drawing your cover if drawing is something you do. Blocked out time for you to read. Blocked out time to research Etc. Get your markers, pencils and stickers and all these things you can find at Dollar Tree.
- Your gonna need some Writer friends Next year. Friends on X/Twitter or whatever platform your interactive with will suffice. Keep this as a Golden Carrot in front of you. Think about throwing a book fair of fellow authors you may know. They can be from anywhere. Most will travel as long as its gonna be traffic through out the fair. Or do something small at a local library. The Library will ask each author to donate 10% of what they sell to the library to have the fair in their establishment. Ask the Library to help promote and market the event. Hopefully they will. Because the library has a website and Newsletter that goes out to their patrons. They can reach more people than you can from you just starting out as a new author. If your seasoned(Traditional) People know of you, the library gonna want you to do a signing and you can do that by yourself and or with others. Thats up to you. Be a LightHouse for someone and open a door to some newcomers. Independant Authors have it rough getting their foot in the door. Make the event for everyone to shine.
- If you dont have a Writing Mentor try to find a writer’s group like a Critiquing Group thats Local for you. Covid Is better controlled. Now is the time to do research your local areas for a dependable critiquing group for MeetUps. If you cant find a group, start a group and Most Coffee shops will let you meet in their shop as long as you buy their coffee and sweet treats. And or reserve a conference room at your local Library it’s free you can bring refreshments and it can be open to patrons and or people that have found your group looking in other places.
- Invest in your Craft: Think about going back to school. Maybe a 2 year program for Liberal Arts something thats not too long to get through. If you want to go longer than 2 years go for it. I aint mad at you. Invest in books On Writing also invest in books you are interested in writing in. Read them and see if that genre is right for your gift to write in.
Enjoy this new month everyone and dont be hard on yourself its only one you and the world need you and your book babies here.

Its like a family tradition to get us all one in the household like buying new calendars for the wall each year. you can go the inexpensive route and just get a planner from a dollar store for one year 2024 or you can step it up and get a 5 year or 10 year planner with a hard back cover. Or you can go on over to Erin Condren https://www.erincondren.com and invest in a Designer Planner. I have one already for Five Years and I’ll see how it works for me but I need stationary like the Washi Tape. whoever invented Washi Tape cleaned up. Its so popular everywhere.

- Word Counts
- Pages Edited
- Chapters/ Books Read
- Time to Rest and Pick Back Up
- Chores
- Days to Write and Work on Craft/ Days to take Breaks
- Day you/someone else give you a deadline on.
- Days you draw or seek out for a cover art.
- Days you do Promo for your Masterpiece
- Days you research your genre you want to write in or writing in.
- Etc………. If I left anything out keep your own personal list going if your taking notes
I hope this has fired you up for Planning out your 2024. What a exciting thing to do in the last 17 days of December and the year. I love ya’ll I want you to enjoy the rest of the year and stay positive and dont be afraid for any ventures coming up in the New Year. If its for you its your’s.

Carrying My Brand New Heavy
How did 2023 treat you? If you feel on Voids I feel the same way, On Voids in Craft. im not even gonna attempt to play myself and try to catch up in 13 days.But I have solution to my slacking madness. sometimes you to go where the writerly people go. Thats right the Library, the Coffee House, the Bookshop to get your Muse Fired Up. Get out of that bed and get you some vitamin D and go amongst the people. ( Talking to Myself and You if you want to Claim It) The medication have shifted something in me. I feel really good. My aunt even said that she would like to join me on this library journey. or even Coffee House journey. shell be there crocheting. Shes in the process of making someones Michigan Blanket with patch and colors to match. Nobody can match her work she quality Grade A Top Notch. Been Crocheting longer than I been alive way more than half her life. her skills is sharp. To get back on subject I want to say this. chart your writing outings and where and how long. reserve you library rooms now. find your rides now. I uase to drive had a car and everything my anxiety became too much for me. My aunt is my angel and she has my back front and sides and I too have hers. we gonna spend the day out and about more often. Group meet ups? Probably Not this coming year. But Dont Cast Me On Voids the Future may hold something brand new like this Brand New Heavy. Its Heavy because I wouldntve decided this last week. Before the meds. Going to the library off the rip would be a Heavy. It wouldnt happen. Now my aunt is supporting my decision to venture out the house. She always has its just that now Im in aggreeance. Ive lost most of all my Physical friends which is fine. (Toxic, Triggers)My Writerly Friends grew from 4 to Daggone 400. We are On Fire For Craft. Lets rock out together in 2024 see what we can see and support each other and maybe recruit more Friends and Warriors and Lovies. Imma pick back up the SnailMail Marketing Project. See how many books shops and libraries across the nation I can get the groups business card too so they can come and visit the site and all of its pages. We will see how it work out for next year. Get down in the trenches and rub elbows with the Owners to these Shops to get your works in stores. Independently owned around the world. send cards ansd possible swag if you have it. But ask nicely first. Welp my loves I literally can talk all evening on the bare minimums But Imma save some content for tomorrow hopeful I can remember what I want to say. i want yall to enjoy the rest of this beautiful cold Sunday. Bask in the Writerly Essence and Rub it in Like Lotion. Im going too far aint I? Just Let me Know. LOL I’mma TTYL

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!
Resolution WriterThon
Hello my Lovies and Warriors. It’s Day #1 in 2024 What yall doing for it? Like Sarra Cannon done over on her YouTube channelshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuPC9HymcC0&t=2534s Imma make a Vision board and get my Planners up to par where Im comfortable where I can leave it and just do what it says to do until I can plan again. You can do a vision board in a notebook or a digital vision board which ever one is more convenient. Later on Imma get a word count for what Ive Already have written in my WIP: Dont Get Stitched Up. Today is the start of getting things done for the year. Just have to move and do, Move and Do, MOVE & DO !!! Im really yelling at myself. Im set on changing my life this year for the better and requiring a routine in craft. Who’s at this level? The ground floor of the building? It’s still work to do just yet on this level. Taking the time to learn more about self, strengths, weaknesses, what motivates, what turns you/me off, what breaks you/me, what builds you/me etc… Even when your living in Early Midlife(age) or any age you may not know thyself fully. I believe that takes a lifetime. We all continue grow if we are willing to be a sponge and soak up knowledge amongst the environment like rain gets soaked into the soil. Take time out to journal today. Today is a great time for that. First day of the year, document all you can. Be the fuel to gas up your goals. give yourself encouragements you can go back and read to make your self on fire for craft at any given time. Being a writer is a lonely sport. You have to be your own cheerleader at times and keep yourself motivated and invested in the end results. Not everybody will get the writers hoopla unless their a writer themselves. Its like any other obsession. Some read, Some write , some draw, some are fashionistas and crochet, knit, sew etc, Some Blog, some are tech savvy and support all in their endeavors (Publishing WIPS, Formatting Editing Marketing Etc..) Whatever your obsession is think about how makinga income from it could change your life. How can you flip it from enjoyment to being something you are skilled in and people would need your services and may be fans of your writing? Do something outrageous to draw in a fanbase/consumers. Just a thought.
Welp my loves Happy New Year I hope yall stayed safe and prayed up. I hope your rested for the day and dont have a hangover from the festivities. I hope you feel great and is ready for what the day will bring and that is only positive vibes and productivity.
Love yall

How are the Warriors, Lovies and Friends doing this Evening? Either Monday or Tuesday I actually started a Preface for “Dont Get Stitched Up: Domeno Days Series.” i appologize for not posting about my experience sooner. Ive felt like Im “Fogged Up” Its just alot on my mind lately. I need to dive into someones world or my own imagination. The Mind(the Brain) is the most complexed organ in existence. Where can you go? How far can you travel? What languages (Slang, jargon) can you create?, What are some of the pictures and scenes you can draw and give dialogue too? Work on your Character Development and your characters world. Make a file with nothing but Character Profiles. If you need a template Reedsy have a wonderful template to use Heres the Link for that:
Link:https://blog.reedsy.com/guide/character-development/character-profile-template/
Do whatever you need to do to dive into Craft if you have time tonight. I heard places are going to get snowed in tomorrow. Make a day off Writing and or drawing or working on anything Liberal Arts related. Turn a spot in your home into a retreat. Teleport to where you want to go and forget about what’s happening outside your dwelling space. Enjoy creating your worlds and get powered up for your masterpieces your creating.
Always Have Fun

Working On WIPS
Yesterday I typed up What I handwritten for Dont Get Stitched Up: Domeno Days/Book#1 and I was disappointed in myself because I could have taken my Golden Hour further. The amount of words I wrote was less than 300. Thats Weak. You couldnt tell me nothing that day. I was in craft up to my neck and you would have thought I finished the first draft. I had one hand written page that didnt amount to half a page typed. I was so pissed at myself. I just have to do better. Thats where Im at in Craft. Nowhere far from Start nowhere far from Go So if your just jumpin into craft for the first time in life I might as well be right there with you. This is Brand new to me as well (kind of). My Experience with Craft while I was writing most of Enaji-O ” The Adventures of Enaji I was so at peace with myself and everything around me. I had my own little spot I was living alone and was as content as I could possibly be. I really have no reason why I cant take myself back to those times in my life. But honestly Im just uncomfortable in life all the time except when I am on our platforms. Its just uncomfortable and I dont know how to fix it. Im trying hard each day. Sleeping my life away just proves Im miserable. And I do my best not to show that to ya’ll but thats my Writerly Life and Journey.During the winter months they say depression rises. Try having it for life its just chronicand my meds takes the edge off but I sleep right through the moments its supposed to make me feel better. Just Bless the whole situation. If your struggling with Mental health issues get the help you need tell your primary doctor and they can steer you to a Mental Health Specialist. call 988 if your in the states. Talk to your loved ones. family that you can be open with. Try not to self medicate. That make ish worse. No Alcohol or the “Mean Green” or any other street drugs. Let a professional medicate you. Sorry if I sound like Im being preachy on the subject of Mental Health is just serious to me. And I just know how it is. I know how it is denying the fact that I may have mental health issues and being manic self medicating with Alcohol. To me I was normal. And I was far from it. Now days is way better than when I was growing up the stigma still there but its not that bad. Welp stay warm my loves start on those WIPS. Take all the time you need to get your first few pages down. Bless you all inside your Golden Hours today.
Always Have Fun

What do you do when your motivation is Lack Luster? Try Try Try Try and Try Again. Life Happens and if you want write about that. Dont Let the slack stop your Creative Mind. Me dealing with Ailments. throwing up Monday dealing with pains in my back and in my ribs thats where the Kidneys and other important organs are. Every night since Monday I make sure my heart is still beating strong in hopes I wake up. Its just been scary. Im getting older. and the older people around me getting younger. or maybe they just found a way to cope with their lives and bodies and spirits and I need to figure it out. I love my life and I Love what has come of the platforms we’ve formed. And i love this group that was built out of love for my 2 favorite Loves(Moms and Grandmom) My mom was so proud of the group when I formed it. She was shocked some people was actually showing up. But people of the world love the craft. Its close to religion for me and everything else that in my life that real like pain and love and sometimes it can be painful to love and vice versa. Right now Im trying to get rid of my pains. Im hurting physically, mentally, spiritually and supernaturally. I miss my moma even though she would be kicking my tail because Im sick and aging too fast. My aunt is going bring me back to life just to kick my butt because Im half way in the Grave. Atleast I feel that way. Knowing this I should be doing nothing but trying to get my stories down on paper or somewhere someone can take it further. Its my legacy like my platforms. Always thinking I have tomorrow. Can I work through the aches and pains and other obstacles that beat me up? What’s is in any of our ways? What’s our Nemesis? What’s the poison in our lives? We Will Need the Will power to persevere through the Muck of Life? Will What we Live for Out live Us Like Legacies do? It has too. Do your best this week. Fighting through the ailments Ive been facing just waking up each day will suffice. Love on your kinfolk and fur babies. Dive into Novel that takes you away from the troubles of the world Whether your writing it or reading it.

I know I know I know. I’ve been pretty unproductive in the month of January 2024 heck and all of 2023 and back. I feel really down about it. But I cant harbor that feeling for too long I need to pick myself back up and quick. February is tomorrow literally where did January go so fast. Lord what is the rush? I plan on switching up alot for February . Like regulating my sleep and writing, and getting out in the community. I may start another group will it be called NOW Group? I dont know. This group is gonna be strictly Craft No Critiquing though. To tell the truth NOW Group I wasnt doing a whole lot of critiquing we did more writing and watching educational shows on writing. We played writing games (Paintchip Poetry Game ) and we had had a good ol’ time. I want that sense community back. I’ll figure out a plan. I have to make my aunt apart of my plan she’s my wheels.(Shes my Everything since my mom’s is gone.)I dont drive anymore. My anxiety is so bad. February gonna be Fresh and full of motivation I aint taking nothing less. No Shorts. Only Excellence. The 1st Im treating it as a Day Job. Something must come of my WIPS. Im ready. I talk about it dont I? Its just Time for action and I wish my moms was here she gives me tough love and drive. Im thinking like what would she say? Only thing is I may be too hard on my life, and maybe I need that. Only thing stopping me is Health physical, mental. I truly need to set that aside if It doesnt improve and just work around it anyways. My planners are ready to calculate met goals. Im pumped for progress. Are ya’ll ready for February ? Black History Month and the month of Love? It dont matter when you start as long as you dont give up. Love ya’ll. I’ll be back with another entry soon my Lovies. TTYL.

Back on January 31th I made up my mind to engage action to my Craft. So far Ive Wasted 7 days. and I Feel bad about it. I just need to do the do. Im tired of getting irritated with myself for lacking. If you havent started you goals for the year yet, dont be discouraged Im right there with you. The only thing I seem to focus on is sleeping and eating and cleaning. The bare minimums. Life is much more.
Planners/ Notebooks & The Freedom To Read
Planners/ Notebooks are on clearance everywhere and you can get them at a grand price. Dont sneeze at 2022-2023. you can whiteout dates and put this year dates in its place. affordable way to grow your planning materials.
My favorite notebooks is my new Happy Notebook it’s made with great quality and stylish I have a clip folio that I adore too. My Happy Notebook I got Pennies on the dollar. I window shop and thrift about. Im good for a promo code and clearance buys and thrift. Have you ever seen videos of Influencers showing each stores hidden clearance. Stores these days have lots of inventory on clearance. Switching from one holiday to the next trying to make room for new inventory. dont be afraid to ask store workers where’s the clearance section is and some places have deep discounted items thats me all day. You can get all your Writing supplies for pennies nickels and dimes. Have fun increasing your stash and work materials. Give yourself a budget though, or the discount aint a discount anymore.
What is coming from the Cosmos Tonight? Well this is on the agenda, Working in the planners and Notebooks then I maybe up tonight teleporting in Wings Of Ebony by J. Elle. I cant wait to get started and just entertain me without the humdrum awful news programs. Without the lack luster scheduled programming on TV. I have Season 2 of Shadow and Bone playing in the background listening to it. Its freaking Dope . What would any of us do with a Netflix Deal? Thats Top Tier. http://ScreenCraft.org will have you reaching that goal sooner than you can possibly handle it. Write the book publish it then work on formatting the book into a movie script. Do both. who’s to tell you you cant. Dont take no for a answer.
Welp my loves I have a night with my Muse Im full of energy. i should be Ive slept most the day. I dont know what came over me this morning. The Sandman be dragging it out. have a beautiful Evening my Loves.
Always Have Fun
