www.nanowrimo.org - writing a 50 000 word novel in 30 days -
In 2008, I left my former life and one of the first things I did was nanowrimo. I wrote with a frenzy and obsession in a way similar to the way I had lived my life until then. It was a novel of ordinary office workers who had super powers in an alternate universe and saved the land of Zetoec from ultimate destruction but a price was paid. That year I wrote more on a blog about writing than I did in the novel. Personally it was a year of truly understanding my obsessions.
In 2009, I wrote "Inside Her Drawers" ... about a woman in her later years that is afraid of letting go of "her treasures" for she believes that it is only those treasures that keep her alive. Naturally, those treasures are lost at a time of significant change and the old woman dies. During nano last year, rather than do a blog, I posted a pic a day on Flickr as inspiration to keep writing and in doing so learned to trust the process. It is through that habit, I reconnected with the world in a way I did not imagine possible, and through that process of trust at a broader level I am where I am today.
Today in 2010, I will start nano for the third time. And for many reasons, today is also a day of new beginnings. As with the other years, I don;t have a specific storyline in mind - it will evolve ... I have a vague concept and I know the process will take care of its own. This year I want to honour the child, and especially the child within ... this year (hopefully) will be a children's story. I do know that there is a camel in this story.
.. and there is no better way than to start a story and a new beginning than with a blank sheet ... happy nanowrimo-ing and happy futures :)

Christina had the Young Adults take an adventure in creative writing. First they went through some creativity exercises to loosen up the mind, then they wrote a story!

Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
Hoping in vain for rest, blinking and red.
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
When time is a dry brook, I float downstream
Letting the gloomy thoughts drop on its bed.
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
- Closed - to avoid the smallest gold sunbeam
- Open - to see the word that’s still unsaid.
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
The shade shows far away atoms agleam:
Maybe they’re real. Maybe I’ve been misled;
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream.
I saw the lightings explode in my bloodstream
Pulsing away in colours as they bled:
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)
That summer night we went down by the sea
To watch the fireworks, and I was then so small…
Perching on father’s shoulders I would see
The lights exploding. In my arms, my doll.
Walking, I raised my eyes to watch the faces
The lamppost light painted their skins in greens.
I felt so scared I tripped on my paces:
My parents turned into spine-chilling beings.
I could not ask: I was afraid of talking.
The neon lights were blazing their sick colour.
I watched my feet, bare in the sandals, walking,
My dolly’s face, my hands, and they discoloured.
I can’t remember fireworks, the nightmare dulled the show
That night I had for parents two persons I didn’t know.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

I miss you more than I can say, you both,
A split image that is for me not cracked:
The one who loved me, the one that loves me not.
My silence does not mean that I forgot;
I am the mirror: you are still intact.
I miss you more than I can say, you both.
I know you are around, at my earshot
But I don’t know the song that could attract
The one who loved me, the one that loves me not.
Nobody told me how, nobody thought
To explain what it feels like being sidetracked.
I miss you more than I can say, you both.
And now I draw my rope, untying each knot
Searching and probing for the one that lacked:
The one who loved me, the one that loves me not.
I play it as it comes, I have no plot
And you may stay away or interact.
I miss you more than I can say, you both:
The one who loved me, the one that loves me not.
(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)
The College of Liberal Arts at Temple University proudly announces a handful of newly renovated “smart” classrooms for the Fall 2012 semester. These rooms, in addition to being refurbished with fresh carpeting, lighting, blinds, and oversized white boards, have been upgraded with a number of technological advances. Students and faculty assigned to the new classrooms will notice new podiums, projectors, screens and control systems.
www.cla.temple.edu/2012/09/newly-renovated-smart-classroo...
Fall coming on puts me in the reading mood. I absolutely love, love, love, love this magazine and have been taking it for 6 years now and I have maintained 3 gift subscips. to some special people in my life. They also have a great program where you can donate subcrips. to schools and prisons. Their covers (see my note about Jennifer Esperanza!) are always so provocative and there is a (loose) theme every month. So worth the price---and they DO NOT ADVERTISE so all you get is the incredible writing and photograpy.

By Ryan Johnston -
This bed is noiseless, and still
Calming me, as we sink slowly
Like feather ships, to the bottom of this sleep
These blankets that you kicked
Onto the open bedroom floor
Are like frozen ocean waves
Painted in a dream
Your memory blows in
Like a winter snowdrift
It holds me in a cold embrace
In the silent air this morning
Latching on with an icy grip
Piling high inside my mind
With all of the broken things
That I always hoped to fix
The cost for going back to sleep
In this hailstorm of sheep
Is counting only nightmares
That used to be good dreams
The sun has gone away
Diving over the edge
Over the steep mountain railing
Of these western states we lived
And if she could return
If she could find her way back again
Rising from the loneliness of the sea,
Climbing into the Atlantic skyline
Filling up my empty veins
And the stasis in my head
Like a heartbeat tidal wave
A key on a kite string
The sapphire sky you left
Is overflowing ruby red
Draining from my heart
Like a crimson waterfall
Turning every star into mars
Sinking constellations like oxygen ships
Capsized in collapsed lungs
Devastated from restricted breath
In the rapture of the moment you left
And the world I’ve been seeing
Has been upside down ever since
Whatever it was that died
We bury alongside what it was,
That it brought so much life
The wind and rain will cover up the blood
They say time heals, but it never really does
Thanks To Meghann Keeley Stone, for making every idea I have a million times better!
