Write on Wednesday Returns
Posted by blk1 on January 8, 2009
Welcome back, Write on Wednesday and Greetings to Cafe Writing, a monthly writing group I just found on Becca’s blog. One keyboard click often leads to another treasure.
So here’s our WOW Fresh Start
In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write..
~Pearl S. Buck
It’s invigorating to think about fresh new things to do with my writing. After all, the new year is the perfect time for a fresh start.
How about you? What fresh new ideas do you have for your writing?
Welcome back Becca and Write on Wednesday. I’ve missed your great Wednesday writing prompts but I totally understand the need to take a break, so welcome to 2009! Let’s hope we can all enjoy it.
At first, when I read your prompt considering new writing resolutions, I couldn’t think of any and I was ready to just jump into the Cafe Writing prompt, but wait, I always need a bit of time to remember and yes, I do have a new writing challenge. Inspired by Bud Hunt and D’Arcy Norman and his 2009/365 Photos Flickr group.
I am using my photo blog to house my commitment to sharing a new photo each day with some writing that comes from the photo. I’m very interested in the image and its words. I am part of a wonderful image/text community, Photo Fridays, but I feel I need to kick up the anty for myself.
So far, so good. I even purchased a new, pocket-sized digital camera perfect for grabbing a shot from my bag.
Here’s one:
I tried to get this photo just right today as I remained inside for the entire day watching the ice freeze and melt and freeze again. I had plans to take my pocket camera with me to capture a moment in the world, but instead I walked around once again, searching for a photo op and here it is.
I wonder if captured this woman effectively. I only included her face here, there’s more to her but the light was not cooperating with me. So this is the best I can do for now, until I figure out more.
I found her in a Piermont gallery, on a morning in August, the day I was turning 45, I think. I was not new to this gallery but I had never found anything I was compelled to own, that’s until I found her.
It was a quiet morning. I had the room, filled with wonderful pieces all to myself. The owner was on the phone. She waved, I waved back and felt free to move around at my own pace.
As I turned back to the window there she was, piercing through me. I was whammed! It wasn’t the first time. I owned other pieces that I was compelled to have for myself and now, on my day, she should come home with me.
I don’t remember how much she cost, but I was able to negotiate a bit with the painter-owner of the gallery and begin to pay for her in monthly installments. I had done that in the past and had the painting at home during the process. I was able to take her with me and offer her a prime location in my home.
She still knocks my socks off.
I hope I’m like her.

This is why I love the internet. You come across great articles like this – something you had never Googled for but you’re very glad you found by accident. Great article, thanks for sharing.

Bonnie:
) – so I keep coming back and enjoy your stories.
I have been reading a lot on here and have picked up some great ideas. You are so inspirational. Wished I would take the time to write my own blog – but I’m afraid I’m not persistent and nobody would read it anyway

The Pearl S. Buck quote is quite good. It’s encouraging to see that even published authors have to start with an act of faith just to start putting ink on paper day-by-day.

While looking on the internet for various info blogs, I came across this weblog. . Your web-site is very very eye catching and drags the visitor straight to it, the articles are fabulous quality and are very appropriately published. I have seen far too many of these so called internet sites where it appears like they pay an idiot to create the articles – Definitely not your site. Your site is very easily the finest that I have experienced in a long time.

Hello,
I am a flower lover and painter also but not so good in painting but I can create a delightful one. In my painting session, I am thinking first of what I should paint and how or where it relates, I am also giving a meaning to my accomplish paints or just a simple deep story with the purpose why I construct that certain creation. How is your paint to be known if there is no deep meaning. Visitors are asking first of the meanings of a certain paint. I hope my comments help to those people who love painting. Thanks. !!!!
