North: BLOOM
colour exploding
#blooms of flowers in the grass
petals wild and free
South: WINGS
the chicks learn to fly
spread their wings to the wide sky
free upon the winds
Do not overlook the ones who seem quiet. They are more than they seem. #writing #writingcommunity #poetry #sifaswriting #blog

North: HARE
#hare runs across snow
as falcon flies overhead
where's the finish line?
South: FRUIT
fresh #fruit in the bowl
the smell permeates the air
the scent of summer
How did your interest in technology start? And have you always been interested in finding ways to combine tech and creative writing/art?
#WordWeavers Day 14: Is selling your work for money important to you when you write?
Would I like to be paid for what I write? Sure.
Do I expect to be paid? No.
#WritersCoffeeClub March 14: Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar?
Both. I think it depends on the reader, each one is different. Some take comfort in what's familiar. Others seek out new ideas.
When the places you love no longer exist, you can describe them, but it isn't the same. #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #blog #sifaswriting

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 13: Talk about an experience when you consulted an expert for a piece of writing.
For a short story about a dentist, I asked my cousin (who is an actual dentist) about how she deals with difficult patients.
#WordWeavers Day 13: Tell us about a quirk your SC has.
Captain Trace doesn't drink, which is a quirk for an airship captain in his world.
#ScribesAndMakers Day13: Our featured creator writes both novels and short stories. How do you feel about short fiction? Do you read short stories as often as novels?
Yes. I have several volumes of short story collections from various authors. I find it easier to read them when I'm limited on time.
North: LOW TIDE
Rocks show at #lowtide
walk far out onto the beach
water rushes back
South: RED
field of #red poppies
so bright against the green grass
the colourful earth
North: SPRING SKY
cool grey this morning
the #springsky promises rain
for flowers to grow
South: LIGHTNING
thunder and #lightning
dark clouds roll in so quickly
disperse just as fast
When the student is ready, fate will send them to your side. #blog #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #sifaswriting

#WordWeavers Give an example of brilliant writing. What's special about it?
Read anything by Sir Terry Pratchett. The deft turn of phrase, the wry humour.
#WritersCoffeeClub Day 11. Does your work reflect your morals? How so?
Depends on what I'm writing and my goals.
Jhana does what some might deem morally questionable things for survival.You might not agree with it, but you understand WHY she does them.
#ScribesAndMakers Day 11. Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever? (Share a pic)
I haven't. I don't have a 3D printer, but if I did, I'd use it quite a bit for my art.
North: PLOW
farmers till the land
they make furrows with the #plow
to drop seeds within
South: LAUGHTER
it's time for harvest
songs and #laughter echo loud
the bounty is good
North: FROG
#frog on lily pad
ponders the coming of spring
lots of mosquitoes
South: FALL COLORS
the colder weather
leaves sense it and change their hue
into #fallcolors
