I love to write, but of late (and by that I mean for several years...ha!) I have had a bit of writer's block. Maybe, not even what would officially be called writer's block, maybe more accurately a time block. I only ever seem to have little bits of time to do any writing which is fantastic for posting some fun pictures and thoughts about life but I never really feel like I have time to think and really sink my teeth (that is such a weird phrase) into writing. I also know that's a bit of a cop out, when you make something a priority, you find the time for it. Alas -- the whole point of this is to say that several of my friends shared a "30 Day Writing Challenge" on pinterest and facebook and I am officially (with this blog post) on board. Each day is a pretty quick and painless prompt but I hope it will let me stretch my writing muscles a bit and hopefully provide some good blog entertainment.
As always I love feedback! I would also love to know YOUR answers to some of the prompt questions so please chime in and share :-)
For some beginning inspiration - This was my favorite place to write when I was in college:

... and here is an angst-filled poem that 20 year old me wrote from that third floor window in my favorite writing chair...
On High
I stare blankly
over trees through dusty
third floor windows.
Fourteen afternoons
into nights
protected by the high
back and thick sides
of the pea green
elderly arm chair pulled
right up to the glass
so that I have to climb
in from the side.
Cocked sideways
I let it cradle my limp
body. My face turns
forward to feel breeze
that flows in from space created
by books wedged
gracefully between sill
and aged wood
surrounding pain.
Happy reading and writing!
