Passive Voice

My bloody nightmare. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has an irrational fear of passive voice. I use passive voice without thinking, I’m getting better. But as my editor likes to point out I go a little over board. Anybody else come… Continue Reading “Passive Voice”

Itch

I’ve been getting this itch lately. Not like an under the skin itch but a brain itch. Weird I know, but apparently it’s perfectly normal. It’s like the hellion to Writer’s Block, but it won’t let me focus on one thing. For the last… Continue Reading “Itch”

Discovery: Part 1

I haven’t picked a theme yet, but simultaneously now I have. Discovery as a theme has a broad context. You can either think a lot into it or a little as you would like to. Which is nice. There is this beauty to discovery,… Continue Reading “Discovery: Part 1”

Paint: Part 6

On the Wall Go now, Free yourself. These walls take face. Anew year by year, The paint recedes. The drawings appear thy noon.

Painting a Picture

This week has been busy. Exceptionally busy. Busy enough that I shouldn’t be sitting at the computer writing this right now but oh well. Honestly if I wasn’t busy I don’t think I would be able to survive. It’s how I’m wired. Anyway, because… Continue Reading “Painting a Picture”

Paint 

It was a tough decision trying to decide what theme to pick this week.  Ultimately I gave up on the hope of thinking of something.  Later it involved glancing at a garage of peeling paint and exclaiming to the neighborhood birds “I got it!… Continue Reading “Paint “
