• Pride and Prejudice at the Library and Two Poetry Re-Finds

  

  Quickly snapped in a pleasantly secluded spot.🧚‍♂️I think the Non-Fiction sign signifies that I’m real (maybe.) 😊 This time the bus came, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice also made it to the library (with a Jane character inside, and a mistakenly named-Jane, myself, who often wouldn’t correct people who seemed confused with the name […]

• A Pocket Blank Page Journal: for Leaves and Flowers I May Discover and Press

  

  Set up with it all ready. Tea first, and then the little treasures I’d found (which are hidden in the photo for now.) Don’t worry; I am not drinking the glue. I bought this blank journal and it arrived yesterday, in which this morning I’ve placed flowers or leaves that I’d find and press in […]

• A Christmas Carol, Bonus Stories by Charles Dickens

  

  I loved reading the “Other Stories” in Charles Dickens’ Christmas book and I finished the last two very short pieces this morning. They can all be read separately, and I can see how someone could pick one and read it slowly. The majority of pieces seem to be memoir style with universal themes and are […]

  November 27, 2022 I was spending the end of the day and night in heavenly company, when I was doing yoga on the wall, with breaks in between to read Jane Eyre, I found a little tree bark, preserved, oh my guest 🙂 may have noted these pressed flowers or leaves with a hint of […]

  A poetic line came to mind just before I met the NaNoWriMo writers tonight…It brought me to the more center place in my story’s theme, as I was getting myself thrown into a corner before that in my draft. I told a little visual from my own draft to relate to the other writers’ stories. […]
