The Dragonflies'Lair ~ Thread LV ~ Anniversary Thread

My Dragonfly And Me


If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!


By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone


On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...


Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

My work slacks off in summer, too, and has for years...I kept fighting it this summer, but I still managed to get some done...but my eyes look at the light this time of year and think Autumn, even though it’s still just late summer, and all of a sudden, I can write easier again.

I’m going to go crazy this November and participate in the NaNoWriMo, which is a not contest, but an event where people try to write 50,000 words in one month...there’s a web site, and people to encourage you and stuff like that. It requires writing something like 1700 words a day for the month. I’ve been plotting the story in the back of my head now for a while.

It was written for a small week-long contest...word limit was 250 words, and it comes in right under. And I am happy to say, it surprised me and came in first. I really do like how it turned out.

WOW, that is a tall order, but you can do it!! Words flow easily for you, because you keep writing. I take the softer, easier way and don’t write.

You mean to say that the oscillating electrical voltages in Tom’s brain are that powerful!??

I would imagine that the various vacillations that do occur may cause some instability. There are those free-floating emanations that are very powerful and would create an offset in ones perception.

Instability can be fun but oscillating vacillations are disorienting.

It’s a lot of words...I’ll have to pick something like fantasy/horror story to be able to keep the word flow up...when I get to romantic writing, the flow goes very slow, believe it or not! LOL.

The latest chapters of my favorite long story, After the End went really quickly...but it’s all action and monsters, and the last chapter just flew...about 3300 words in two and a half days. Fastest chapter I ever turned out for that story...

Another thing that helps me is I spend lots of time on Live Journal hanging with other writers and having these little challenge community contests to spark ideas...since everybody on my friend’s list there is a writer, it makes needing to prioritize writing as natural as breathing...

MPD (multiple-personality-disorder) can be fun at times. There is always an instigator there to stir the pot. LOL
