silver flies
buzzing;
through the solidity of the ocean
blue;
dividing the waters
with a
white tail;
the sound echoing
for miles after;
disrupting the uniformity
of the incomprehensible.
Amazing Inconsistencies
What I am, simplified.

clarity dissolving;
graying;
clouding over the
hopeful horizon.
evershifting—
momentary blip.

Plunging into the
Endless blue
Punctured with
Wisps of white
Tangling my ankles
Soothing my soul
Gleaming
Springtime within winter

big grins
browned cheeks
mussed hair
with salt
and sand
laughter
is the essence of you

I miss Mr Yogato soo much. Can’t believe I missed it when I visited over Christmas.
Distant Heartbeats: Travelling Book.
I’ve decided to finally make good on my promise of a travelling book in the new year. These are The Rules, or rather, how it’s going to work.
I am picking two books I want sent round — The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa and Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. I love them…
Definitely in :)
This will be fun! I’m in.
But I do go in for books. I love to own books. Though I read few books twice, I have filled every shelf in my house with books, have had more shelves made and filled those too. My books surround me like a cocoon. When I run my finger along the backs of my books they feel like the ribcage of an old familiar lover. Visit my shelves and you will learn much about me.

Wait, There Was a Real Sherlock Holmes?
To get you ultra-ready and inspired for NaNoWriMo, literary expert Celia Blue Johnson—author of the new book Dancing with Mrs. Dalloway: Stories of Inspiration Behind Great Works of Literature—has a few behind-the-scenes anecdotes to share about those classic novels we know and love. What tale will you someday tell about the origin of your bestseller?
We’ve all experienced that moment of waiting for our minds to take a creative leap. With National Novel Writing Month upon us, many of you are probably spending more time in front of your computer screens, searching for an idea that will carry you from page one all the way to the end. Our heroes weren’t all that different from us. They fretted. They went blank. They crumpled page after page of failed ideas. If you’re stumped, I propose walking away from your computer. Most literary legends found inspiration far from their desks.
