I was sitting at my make up table this morning getting ready for the day and I was inspired to write, yet again.
It comes on like a song that keeps repeating itself until you finally sing and dance to it then maybe, just maybe it will pass and leave you be.
I think my mind has turned into poetry.
Such a different perspective. Photographers have lenses, they can adjust and use to alter a frame. As a writer I never heard the song of poetry, as I focused on fact and insight, intellect.
Now everything has song and beauty to it.
All of my thoughts become poetry.
I think differently lately.
I see differently lately.
I am different lately. Continue reading

Exposed
As I lay in the sun
With it’s rays on my back
It penetrates my soul,
Enlightens
My enlightenment
Shimmering
Aglow
My spirit and my words
Combine to flow.
Week #4 info Weekly Stuff it ‘Storetry’ Challenge, for poets and writers! Come and Join Us!
So I have come up with a weekly collaboration idea! I challenge you as writers and poets to “stuff” my opening and closing paragraphs with a written paragraph of no more than 5 sentences or a poetry verse of 6 lines that would fit as the “stuffing” of the story.
Take your time and think about it so you have a lead in and a lead out of your paragraph or verse so that I can link it all together. I will also link each contribution to your blog so we can all showcase what we have to offer and take a peek at the submissions we love.
Keep it true to your style and flare but remember nothing over a PG rating please.
I will also add 4 photographs into the ‘storetry’. Please submit poems, writings and photos to writingsofamrs@outlook.com with Stuff it Poem, Stuff it paragraph or Stuff it Photo in the subject line.
Submissions must be received by 4:00pm eastern time by the Monday before the Stuff it Tuesday.
All submissions will be used. Look below for this weeks Stuff it.
Time for this weeks Stuff it Tuesday Collaboration. This one is a little more challenging!
Opening:
He awoke to the dripping sounds of the rain. He slowly stirred and turned over to lay on his stomach and peered out the raggedy opening of the window in his hut. It had been two weeks now that he had been staying in this filthy, wet hut. As he stared off into the rainy sky in wonderment of the journey that had led him here.
Closing :
The mud squishing between his toes
The villagers and grass huts lined in rows
He looked back
A foreigner in a foreign land
His destruction led by his own people’s hand.
Check out the past 3 weeks here!

Night time words to live by
” Words are a powerful tool. You can use them to build beautiful structures but you can also use them to demolish and tear things down. Think about how you chose to use your tools. ”

The Vault of the Exalted

A secret vault
That only curiosity can discover
Where space hovers Continue reading
The Buoy
http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Crashing-Waves-Posters_i8652711_.htm
Like a Buoy
Tossing to and fro
Thrashing crashing
In the mashing of waves
Of sound
And of time
Slipping leaving
Behind a life bound
Like buoy
Like a bobbing toy Continue reading

5 Tips for Writers
5 Things to help you write.
We have all heard it said many a time that as a writer you need to have a voice. I find this to be especially true in poetry, freelancing and blogging.
If you are writing a book or short story I don’t think the voice is as important as your style and flair. What you need to do is tell a story and tell it well. While well is a vague word I will attempt to give some tips and reminders to help you do just that, write well.
First you will need to determine what your goals are. Do you want to sell a million copies of your book? If so it has to blow peoples minds. In order to do this you have to have confidence in your writing and in your voice. That is the one common denominator with all top-selling authors.
If you find that your confidence is waivering at times, these tips might help you. Continue reading
