Excuses be gone!

I haven’t written in a while because I have work. No, you don’t understand, I am tired when I reach home on the evenings and all I want to do is sleep. See, it’s a routine thing. I don’t have enough time to write. I have this and I have that and I blame anemia!

I recently sat down and pondered about my writing. I love writing! It’s a passion that I’ve embraced when I was as young as six (back then, my imagination was wilder than a runaway stallion!) and it’s a talent that I am thankful to God for. However, I don’t see myself as a future published author, so I don’t have to write every day to practice my skill.

Right. I am just full of excuses, aren’t I?

That’s why I’ve decided to get rid of all the excuses in my writing life! 

If I can make time to source YouTube for inspiring, fun, educational, and family-oriented videos, then I can certainly make time to write even if it’s just for one hour. If I can make time to partake in an activity after work, then I can certainly get some writing done even if it’s just one sentence. I have so many unfinished stories that I am itching to get to, but because of excuses, I let them die. From today, there’ll be no more excuses when it comes to my writing. 

I apologize for this rant, but it had to be done. I trust that you’re having an awesome Sunday nevertheless. God bless. 🙂

October 01st: Fearful symmetry

Pick a letter, any letter. Now, write a story, poem, or post in which every line starts with that letter.

I don’t even have a favorite letter, so I’ll randomly choose ‘V’:

Voices echo in the dark
Venting their frustrations
in the empty carpark
Very swiftly, they came with
intentions to destroy the landmark
Vexedly, they left without harming
the precious park.

Yeah, that’s all I got. 

Outstanding October!

Don’t mind me, I’m only looking around for September. I can’t believe that she slipped out of my grasp and I couldn’t hold onto her. I did not get to complete half of the tasks that I set out to do and it was kind of disappointing, but here comes October!

October Plans!

I am happy to be alive and to see another new month…

…but I don’t have any set plans for this month. Looking over last month, I realize that I did not post anything for the Tom Cruise Challenge. Is it still on? I don’t know. If I don’t post anything new by the end of this month, then I’ll consider it canceled.

Also, I am yet to start the A to Z Challenge. I was thinking of doing it around phobias…

…I know, I’m weird, but it should be interesting and I love learning new things no matter where the field is concerned. 🙂

I’ll be working on new short stories for Sunday Shorts and focusing on developing characters so I might just be posting more about writing in general. I don’t know as yet; we’ll see. I also plan to start posting new material on Wattpad. 

I know I probably say this every month whenever I do a post like this (I know I said it last month, too), but I have exciting posts coming up! I’ll try to keep up my daily posts as I steer the wheel of this thing call life with God by my side. I’m pretty much hyped for this month as I set out to make October outstanding!

Baguette! I think I overdid it with the GIFs in this lone post. 

Thank God that you have breath and remember to…
