Week One: The Minimalist Photograph
Happy New Year to you all. So thrilled to be joining you again, for another of Sally's adventures. Even though I have missed several weeks for the first go-round, I will promise to try and do better this year.
Now, with the New Year, there are always "resolutions" but I am not one to make them. First, I don't have the patience to keep them going; Second, That's if I can remember what they were all year; Third, I am much more of a "live in the moment" kind of person (planning gives me a headache!).
Last year, I offered up several of my literary attempts, and thank you all for your encouraging comments about them. It is something I have always dabbled in through out my life, and lately the bug has bit me rather badly.
That's why I have taken a picture of a pen. It's one of the oldest I have in my house (like me). I am back at it as we start our 2014 journey, except, I am not putting pen to paper (Does anyone do that anymore?) but tapping away in my Word Program.
It's a novel for a story I have had in my head for some time, and believe me, I am no expert on anything. Well, other than reading EKGs, but doubt there is much audience for that, although I did write a beginner's manual at one time. Hopefully I will finish it sometime this year. You'll be the first to know!
So HI again friends, see you next week.
Good luck on your novel. I love how your photo symbolizes this adventure of yours.
ReplyDeleteI still hand-write lots of things before I type them on the computer... But most of my pens are bics or equivalent! Lovely pen, is it comfortable to hold?
ReplyDeleteNot really, and the ink dried up a LONG time ago, just couldn't get rid of it, because it is a reminder of myself.
DeleteWhat an interesting looking pen. Best of luck on your novel.

ReplyDeleteYour pen is a wonderful choice for the start of this year. I am very glad to hear that you are expanding your writing. I wish you the best of luck with it. I have dabbled with a couple of stories so I know what you mean about when it is time for a story to come it can take over.
