One-Minute-Writer: Week 47

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, November-22: Paycheck. What do you love doing that you wish you could get paid for? Obviously I'm not the only one, who wants to be paid for writing! But this also includes the pressure to deliver something that is worth being paid for. What about getting paid for sleeping? I'm do it regularly 8 hours a night, I don't mind overtime with a little nap. And during the day, I can be productive and creative and professional with no...

Week Four With NaNo

I made a little NaNo-writing-break ... to write. How crazy is that? One last note about my accident. On Tuesday I received an email from NaNo-Tech-Support, that they *quote* don't save any backups of any files that are uploaded *end-quote*. It doesn't matter anymore, I'm at peace with that ... in the meantime I've re-typed all the missing parts. I won't say, that it's better, but anyway I typed more words than I had before! And it's all about words in NaNo, isn't it? Okay, countdown for NaNo has...

Wreck This Journal: Pour, Spill, Drip, Spit, Fling Your Coffee Here.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") 1. A layer of filter bags covers all the holes from the "Burn-Page" on the left and the "Poke-Holes-Page" on the right. 2. Left page: I glued the sketched lines and covered the page with ground coffee (coffee powder). After removing the surplus powder I was truly surprised how good everything is readable. 3. Right page: I went for a cup of Latte Macchiato in my favorite cafe. Maybe I should have ordered something darker! Oh, and btw: *sniff-sniff*...

NaNo, Lucky Number 3?

I don't think so! Third NaNo-week started with a blast, with one of writer's worst case scenario. Instead of reaching the magical margin of 25.000 words, my computer made a funny thing and killed my precious NaNo-word-document! *sniff* I can't believe it! God damn it! How could that happen??? Well, I'd had a back-up, but only from Friday ... the whole hard work of the weekend gone! Almost 6.000 words! LOST!!! How could the world be so cruel!?!?!?! Okay, that's maybe better than losing everything,...

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, November-15: Cake. Write for a minute using this prompt: piece of cake. Piece of chocolate cake, piece of strawberry cake, piece of Black Forest cake, piece of Vienna Sacher cake, piece of apple cake, piece of ... Sorry, I have to go to the pastry shop. NOW! Tuesday, November-16: Broke. Write about a time you broke something. I would prefer to blame my computer, that broke something!!! *howl* Instead of reaching the magical...

Wreck This Journal: Draw With Glue.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") I'd picked up the idea with the skull from another WTJ-page here on flickr and made my own version. With the result of a total glitter glue overkill! *g* Steps: 1. I made the outlines with a black pen and used black (and some yellow) watercolor for the background, let everything completely dry. 2. Then I began with the silver glitter glue on the background, used my finger to dispense the glue regularly, let everything completely dry. 3. Doing...

Week Two With NaNo

On my honor, I've never consumed any illegal drugs in my whole life. But I'd made the acquaintance with a little hangover after consuming a little too much alcohol. You know, as long as you party, you feel so brilliant, everything is so amazing, you are the queen of the night ... but then the other morning, when adrenaline and euphoria are gone, you feel weird. You are much too tired, because you haven't gained enough sleep. Your head feels alien like, not belonging to the rest of your body. Your...

One-Minute-Writer: Week 45

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, November-08: Who. Who are you? I am the image of a person, that you can see from the outside. I am the figure of a personality, that you combine from my point of views, my interests, all the things you know from me or believe to know. But is that really ME? I don't think so! I myself am not always quite sure Who I am, how should anybody else can? I am what I am, sometimes more, sometimes less, but always a unique me! Tuesday,...

Wreck This Journal: Drip Something Here. Close The Book To Make A Print.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") Intentionally it was supposed to become the classical butterfly ... well, obviously the paint didn't exactly behave like it should have. Anyway, I like the colo...

The First Week With NaNo

All right, here we are, the first week of NaNo Writing Month is over. Let's make a short pause and muse a little over my experiences. Sunday night count said 9.983 words. Sounds quite good, don't you think so, too? It's a 1/5 of the required total sum. But a 1/4 of the time has already passed ... ah, you might have guessed the problem?! My start was quite slow, but I gained some speed until Thursday. Then I came to a particular scene. I could see it happen straight in front of my eyes, but I...

One-Minute-Writer: Week 44

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, November-01: Trick or treat. A day late... What was one of your favorite treats as a kid? Or: Write about a trick you played when you were a kid. My Mom was a fabulous cook, her pastry and cakes and cookies made you lick all your fingers. It's hard to choose just one, because everything was so delicious. Thinking of coming Christmas time, I'll truly miss her Christmas cookies. There were filled gingerbread and rum-coconut-cubes...

Wreck This Journal: Find A Way To Wear The Journal.

(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") Obviously I made it the other way round: I dressed the journal! ;-) Well, I have two left hands when it comes to sewing - so I cheated a bit. I made a paper shirt and glued the green fabric on the pattern. On top some glitter stones - Done! ...

NaNo Writing Month

There wasn't any full moon I could blame. Maybe I was still disorientated because of the time switch. Last night I was completely demented, totally mad, absolutely out of my senses ... I've registered for NaNo Writing Challenge!!! OMG, what have I done?!?! You know, it's one thing to write on several projects without any pressure or special purpose. If you write it will be fine, if you don't write it will be fine, too. But it's a whole different thing, when you sign in for a challenge, where...
