    Not Yet Begun Thusly started by palisade14
    Not today!
    I said this week.  I didn’t say today.
    Eske’s: A Brew Pub started by palisade14
    Two friends sat on one side of a large round wooden table. One ignored his beer. The other finished number two.
    “Those don’t drink themselves.”
    “No they don’t. Sorry. Want it?” Carter picked it up and extended it to M

    I didn’t forget to write.  I chose not to write since the morning got away from me while I polishing fingernails.
    Only later did I forget to write today.
    And now, while I’ve obviously remembered, it’s also rather late for more.

    Four boys glow on the porch of the mountain cabin. The morning sun tints them in orange. Their denimed legs create infinite shadows down the rippling floorboards. The dew-soaked, bark-stripped, rough-hewed, corner-post Ponderosa steams from the warmth. The west side of the cabin and the unkempt meadow grasses shiver in the [...]
    Matte Writing started by palisade14
    I ran across a bit of artwork recently that put me over the edge on understanding what it is that appeals to me about pieces like that one.  They posses so much depth and richness that even in the shadowy unseen parts of the painting you know there is detail.  In most art I don’t [...]
    How Urraca Haunts Me started by palisade14
    The following is from a letter I sent to the camp staff I adopted this summer from my old Scout ranch:

    Urraca,

    Please find a few things enclosed that may amuse you for the remainder of the summer. My daughters were certainly entertained while helping Carrie and I pick them out. I have no idea what you [...]
    A Brass Hawk of Titanic Proportion started by palisade14
    Let’s see what muse-phlegm this thing coughs up tonight:

    “What vehicle did you sit in?  Write a story or memory that takes place at a drive-in movie theater.”

    “Did you study?  Write about a time when you were taking some type of test.”

    “How long until it broke?  Write about a toy you didn’t

    I’m not a fan of writing prompts because I don’t find them compelling.  All prompts are contrived.  An anonymous composer, should I say contriver, distilled a a drop or two of essence from a particularly rewarding writing session.  They packaged it as a question or situation or evocative eliptical.  That half-teaspoon of muse soaked into
    On the Beach With Jack started by palisade14
    After abandonning four random prompts I’m going with this one:

    “Where were your shoes?  Write about an interesting time when you happened to be barefoot.  Begin and end your writing with a description of your feet.”

    Amy smiled at the shape of her feet.  Singley or paired their profile presented an authentic feminine
    Giants are to Elephants as Humans are to: started by palisade14
    This post marks my two week hiatus from Q10.  Lets see if the distraction-free environment effects my writing.

    So.  Giants?

    Let me disregard cultural elements of giants and humans and return to the physicality of it all (write the word one more time and I’ll not be certain of it’s definition any more).  I suspect that I’ll

    Ahead of any of the rest of this I should thank those of you that read 1000 Days.  I appreciate the lot of you silent as you are about your participation.  Also, a big shoutout to you robots combing the Internet for RSS feeds: thanks for stopping by.

    Thinking of Gwenyth started by palisade14
    I watched Iron Man again yesterday. Alone because friends were unavailable and I refused to wait—plus, you only have some many opportunities in this household to ditch the kids and go out at all. I’m not a reader of the comic surprisingly, so I know nothing of the canon. While the X-men [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Thinking of Gwenyth",
