Welcome to Litsy!

I am attending me second writing course this week. Super inspiring! Found my flow, and I am absolutely loving writing 🥰🥰

After jumping around through the digital version of this book, I have decided I like Reeves's approach. I'm going to buy myself a physical copy of the book and a couple of notebooks (okay, so I don't need more notebooks, nor do I need more excuses to buy notebooks, but I'm going to buy some anyway) and try to make 2023 the year that I reestablish a daily writing practice. I did Morning Pages for years, but I like the focus of daily prompts.

This new app sounds intriguing…

A friend bought this for me years ago when I first started writing (like literally 20 years ago now) and while I‘d used a handful of prompts before, this was the first time I went all the way through. I‘ve been stuck trying to figure out what my next writing project should be. Some prompts/advice were helpful, others not as much. But it got me thinking which is always good

One of my all time favorite books! If you haven‘t read this you should. It‘s 14 illustrations, each with a single caption. You can read the book in 5 minutes, but you‘ll never forget it. My favorite thing about this is each time I reread it a different illustration gets under my skin and sets me wondering. #BBRC PB Letter M

This has been on my TBR forever. After reading some heavier books, this was a light-hearted welcome! A great book to read to the class, each selection was fairly short.

So this is my TBR for my 3rd contract here at VT (its the physical book TBR -- I will def read other books throughout). But anyway, this is a short contract so ... only 9 weeks

My mind is in such turmoil that i really need to write to ease my anxiety. However, I‘m not thinking clearly enough to just write so i went to a late night friend to help me come up with a subject to write about.
“Phone Tag.
Write a fairly long, complicated phone conversation overheard by someone in the room. All three people — the listener in the room, the caller, and the person on the other end of the line — are involved with each other...”

AKA places that are currently out of bounds 😥
I've been setting up a foldable chair and table under a parasol in the garden whenever the weather permits. Lest you think I am living in a tropical paradise, it is sunny here but I'm still glad of a fleece. It's just that I've been known to get sunburnt even when the sky is overcast!

Thanks for the birthday wishes and 📖 book plates. My birthday was nice, but uneventful due to the present circumstances here in New Jersey. NJ has a lot of COVID-19 cases, the majority of which are in the northern part of the state near New York City. But the virus is making larger inroads into the south-central part of the state where I am. My mom and I are OK. We'll go on a short trip when all this is over.
