So did you think
of me love,
was I in your dreams
tonight,
did you smile
sweet recognition
as I lay gently
by your side?
Did you float
into my arms love,
lost
in sweet embrace,
did you sigh
exquisite rapture,
passion's dew
upon your face?
Then love
did you surrender
to your hunger
and to mine,
and in your dreams
tonight love,
did our hearts and souls
entwine?

Aahhh. It is officially Day #7 in NaNoWriMo-land. I haven’t written on Nano yet today, but that time is coming later this afternoon. I did promise to post about it, so that’s what I’m here for.
On most of my blogs, you can find a little blue icon that will show you my updated word count. For those of you who don’t want to search it out, the count stands at 21,345 words. I am officially on-target for my unofficial goal of 90,000, and I’m way ahead of where I need to be to meet the NaNoWriMo goal…

While traveling we always have new experiences, whether they are amazing, life changing or just disillusioning. Tell us your travel story. It may deal with a travel journey to a new place, time traveling, revisiting one's past, visiting a lost love or a new one, or an inner journey. Travel reports can be as much about one's internal navigation of their emotions as a physical voyage.
There is currently running a free-to-enter short story contest on BookRix for writers and readers. The theme is "…

I swear, this is true. I’m not just stringing random words together. These actually make a story. And I am at:
10,021 words!!
I can’t believe it either.
Will this pace last? Stay tuned.

Nov 1 – Well, it’s 9:00 EST, and I’ve made it through the day. Besides taking my son to investigate the Society of Creative Anachronisms, I’ve written 4 chapters for 5562 words. At this rate my book will be even bigger than the 90,000 I anticipate. I know I’m getting plot down, and character, but I’ve a feeling I’ll be doing some backfilling on place and description. We’ll see.
I’m having to use whatever time I get to the fullest, as I don’t know when other things will interfere. But this has b…

Hello Facebookers, Twitterers, and Readers of My Blogs:
As noted, you’re all getting the same updates, at least for now. Maybe I’ll rotate them thru the week as I go.
Oct 31 – final countdown. At 12:01 am on Nov 1 (remember, we don’t officially change clocks until 2am) I will begin writing. I plan to go until 2:00 am, just because I can. Then bed and back to writing in the a.m. I’m excited about this… and I’ll let you know how it all goes tomorrow.

Just trying to get in a few coherent thoughts before NaNoWriMo starts up. I probably won't be blogging much, although I've now committed to posting some updates on my progress on all my blogs and FB and Twitter. Chances are they'll be identical updates, but people will have to check to see.
I'd love to know if anyone on this site has done or is doing NaNoWriMo. If you did, how did it work out for you? I've heard some amazing stories. I've heard that some of the novels written have been publishe…

laughing,
you stand apart,
at a distance,
daring me
to draw my weapon,
to use my heart!!
an island, built
of your own design,
(a world away
from this world of mine)
to guard your trust
in a thorny shrine.
your heart a fortress
few dare to scale,
manys the heart
on it's rocks impaled!
yet still I come,
naive, enthused, while
you prepare for battle!
but I cannot choose
what part not to love;
for the paladin heart,
the lamb and the wolf,
are all I see in you!

Sometimes,
amidst the hustle and bustle
of daily life
and the million things
that need my attention -
"Right Now!" -
a thought of you
breaks through
like a warm ray
of sunbeams.
And I smile.
A laugh,
a touch,
something funny -
or sweet -
that you said, or
the tilt of your head,
pushes the noise
and demands
of the moment
into the distance.
And I smile.
And for a moment
you're here with me
sipping a coffee
holding hands
making plans
laughing together
sharing secrets
and memories...
Then my phone…

I whispered your name to my Angels
and asked, that they keep you in their care
because I truly cherish you,
for you are a treasure, rare.
I knew they'd guard you gently
and wrap you in their wings.
And as you walk through your world,
that they'd keep you safe for me.
When nights are dark and cold
and you feel all alone,
I asked that they guide you to my heart
and light your way back home.
And "Until then", I asked them,
"please, help me to just wait",
till you come back to find the one
who ga…

Did you ever think why the company media representatives and the brand equity managers keep staking and lay emphasis about the essentiality of owning a professional logo design to march on? Is the build up of hype about having custom design logo warranted?
It sounds pretty much explainable, doesn’t it? A logo of a company is the character of the organization which marks its unique identity. There are many competitors of your business around you very near but what really signifies you is your ou…
