We are promised another month with fewer bright hours in the day until the winter equinox turns us toward the light. For those with writer's deadlines that feed off these darkened fall/winter cycles, have-at-it. These shorter windy rainy days are a perfect mix for writer's delight. The blank white page never looked as compelling. Always a story to capture. If not yours, someone else no doubt made an indelible impression on your heart, mind, body or spirit drawing you to say what must be said.
I seem to be preparing for December to give me the "go ahead" to plunge into my epic. While the outline grows well beyond an outline, I sense that the editing will be my greatest task. Curiously, I ponder whether it will be one book or four. Only through time, during these long slow mornings that snake quietly into early darkened afternoons when the wind rages and the rain pelts hard as needles against my window panes, will I know the outcome of this wonderment. Either way, one or four, the truth be told.
Is this time capturing your imagination and drawing your quill to paper, too? Has your muse awoken you at the strangest times forcing you to flow a bit of ink on paper? It is a curious creative art, how and what writers do---that going within and drawing out what only exists inside you. The magic of this process. Creating from an idea--sentences, lines, poetry, prose. All which at one time dwelled inside untapped, requiring your focus and resulting in your genius birthing your ideas onto paper.
Come join us and share your creations at our 16th "Ric's Poetry Mic".
Please mark your calendars for the coming week:
DATE: Tuesday, 5 December 2017
See you soon fellow writers.
Be well and inspired,
cheers,
Kat
