Whimsical Wednesday & A Giveaway Winner!








Welcome to Whimsical Wednesday, yet again ~ Recently I have been doing a lot of writing and this is what it has felt like to me - The above paintbrush when I put pen to paper - A flurry of color and expression. I have been writing 750 Words a Day consecutively for 29 Days now. Recently, I have asked family and friends  what they think of the task of writing 750 Words A Day, their responses differed. Some said it was painful to think of getting so many words out each day. Others, said it would flow out of them, easily. I seem to be in the latter. I never have difficulty when I start writing, I always seem to know what the topic of the day will be, before I begin. I hope this continues ... I am grateful for these 15 minutes daily, to be - Me.

And the Giveaway Winner is ...
Karen in FL 


Congratulations, Karen!

Please email me @ kaortega1120@yahoo.com with your address! 


Thank you for all who entered ... 
I hope to have another giveaway real soon!

    Good Morning, Kristine-
    Loved the paintbrush with colorful butterflies- Reminding me of how it's the process of making art that is my favorite.
    The finished product is nice, but I'm always kind of at loose ends, '' Now what ? ''- Like finishing a wonderful novel, you don't want it to be over.
    Are you like this too with your writing ?

    Good Morning, Elizabeth ~ Yes, The paintbrush with the butterflies caught my eye ~ It also took me to the "Journey" of it all - Once I "finish" a poem or an essay, or even a blog post - I need to be satisfied with the finished product, but I am a bit sad when it ends ... I am right there with you!

    And congratulations to you K for 29 days of writing! Wow! That is great! Writing is your thing, you are so good at it! But photography is also something you do so well, and I think those two go together very well. Have fun and share something new with us! :)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
