writing. You are at a standstill, and writing is just plain hard. It happens. You've got to sit your butt down in the chair and write. Go write a poem, a short story, a letter. Write anything. Choose something you love. Just write. Paper is awesome & electronics aren't always reliable.

National Novel Writing Month always seems to sneak up on me. I forgot about my project until the 14th, when I once again sat down to write. I’m stealing time to write in the evenings after supper, on car rides, and under the covers at night Next week, I’m posting my Writing Contests: January 2025  list, but a week or two after that I’m hoping feeling uncertain about using the name NaNoWriMo, I’d love to see you participating in National Novel Writing

When writing for children, Mrs. Fitch has a very whimsical, fun style to her writing. As a well-known author, Sheree Fitch has a writing prize named in her honour. It's run by the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick for teens ages 13-18 as one of the many categories in their yearly writing competition. I love writing funny things. Children's poetry is a perfect vessel for light-hearted humour.

As I was reading this post linked in the show notes of today's Bible Recap episode, I was struck by this verse in Psalm 32 (NLT)*. 8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." This verse really stuck out to me, as recently I have been praying about where I ought to work this summer, and attempting to seek God's opinion on the matter. My mind has also been filled with questions about my future. Questions like, "What do I want to be?" and, "Will I go to college?" But look at verse eight. God doesn't say, "I will guide you along the best pathway of life." No! He says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life." Your life. This is not just a one-size-fits-all kind of situation. God has a wonderful plan for the lives of each of his children, and each plan is different! God understands. He created you. He knows what is best for you. He has a special plan for you, Believer. Let's look at verse nine. 9 "Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” Huh? This one had me scratching my head. I pulled out my ESV** study Bible and took a look at the verse in that version. 9 "Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you (ESV)." This still might not make sense to you. It did not help me much. Here is what the study note for verse nine says: "32:9 like a horse. Horses and mules do the will of their masters only under compulsion (Prov. 26:3). The righteous should obey out of love for and gratitude to their God (study note from ESV study Bible**)." Don't ignore God's calling. Don't ignore the path he has in mind for you. Trust that he knows what is best. Obey out of love for your God. As you seek God and his plan, keep this passage in mind. 5 "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do." James 1:5-8 NLT *Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are from the New Living Translation.

I'm learning how to create content quicker, and I am learning to write it better. On top of regularly entering writing competitions, I might add. It's so encouraging to know that you are all interested in me and my writing. Sometimes it's easy for me to beat myself and my writing up, easy to believe the lie that I can't write That doesn't mean that everything I write is good, and I know I have things to learn, but I can write

Skunk In My Bunk Lilyana Page There’s a skunk In my bunk, And I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to sleep with him. Would you? He’ll stink, I’m pretty sure. At least, that’s what I think. Maybe I’d gag, Or even throw up in a plastic bag! Wait. What did you say? You want me to crawl in bed right away ? Now? Ooh…oh my…yikes…yow! Hold it! Stay there for just a minute! Say! He’s soft and squishy, And not at all stinky and gushy. He’s shiny, and he smells all new. Come meet him, won’t you? I was scared for a bit, But now I get it! There’s a skunk In my bunk, Turns out he’s just a cool toy. Boy, oh boy, oh boy!

I googled "How to Write a Limerick," and found some helpful resources. Let's go over some basic rules for writing limericks. Perhaps I should write one about the Little Red Hen. Write a limerick about a failed cake that came out of the oven wrong. Write a limerick about yourself.

Watching, Waiting, Listening The trees rustle and swish above streams that gurgle and sing. The birds warble happily whilst the crickets sing, rivaling the birds themselves. The clouds drift silently on as the sun lowers in the sky and the air grows colder. I sit upon a mossy stone, watching, waiting, listening. Silent as an owl's wing. At last, the shadows deepen into night, and I hold my breath in anticipation of what is to come The moon steals softly over the starlit sky, and the night animals begin to stir. Peepers sing in the brook as the crickets head off to bed, their sleepy voices fading away. A fox slinks through the shadows, on the trail of a mouse. Squeak! A shrill pip pierces the night . I rise from my mossy stone, still watching, waiting, listening. As a cloud draws slowly over the moon, I slip silently away.
