Two six word sentences this week. Simply because I came up with two and I can't choose between them.
What will I write this week?
These six words hold much curiosity. Another six words, ha ha. At the moment I am enjoying participating in a couple of weekly prompt sites as well as 6WS. It has been a lot of fun and I have produced some writing that I am quite pleased with.
Sunday Scribblings provides a theme which people then write about. Last Sunday it was: free. My approach is to consider the prompt and post something if I feel like it. I have done so for the last few weeks. There was one week I didn't come up with anything although I did think about the prompt a lot. I am taking a low pressure approach to this one - it's good if I come up with something and revising something old to fit the prompt is okay and it's also fine if I don't come up with anything.
Three Word Wednesday provides three words each Wednesday which participants then incorporate into a piece of writing. I have been participating for the last three weeks. For this one I am writing something new, often a poem. This week I wrote a list poem about meditation (see previous post). I am really enjoying this process. It feels really difficult at first but then with some thinking and playing with words each week something has begun to unfold and before long I've had something ready to post. I think that I will keep giving this one a go for a while and enjoy the challenge. As with Sunday Scribblings I will not give myself a hard time if I don't come up with anything suitable to post.
I wonder what I will write for both of these this week. Will I even write anything at all? I look forward to seeing how they both unfold this week.
I'm confident that I will write at least something each day this week. On my other blog, pausing to pick up small stones I post a small piece of writing each day. I am looking forward to July when many other bloggers around the world will join in and post a daily small stone in the river of stones. Find out more about this and how you can participate here. I wonder what my small stones will be about this week??
As well as blogging I am also doing a reasonable amount of journal writing. I use my journal to play around with some ideas for the prompts too. I am also writing a piece about the role of singing in my life and my participation in the singing group which I wrote about for 6WS a couple of weeks ago. I wonder how much of that I will get done this week. It will involve planning some time to write. I think this week will include much writing. I'll see how it pans out.
And now the second six words for this week...
There are millipedes in the house.
It's unusual to have so many millipedes in the house. A friend asked yesterday if I had millipedes in the house. She was getting frustrated with all the sweeping them up. I did notice lots around this week. They were at work too. It must be something to do with the weather. We are just moving into Autumn here but it has been quite wet recently and Summer wasn't very hot compared to other years. Seeing so many millipedes reminds me of living in the Adelaide Hills where they would be everywhere. I think one of the years I was living in the Hills there was a real plague of them. I remember public toilet walls just covered in black. There also seems to be more spiders around. One has a very intricate web in the corner of our yard. And there are lots of crickets around too...
