    Sounds a good, er, plan … actually, it’s better than a plan – it’s responding to the world as it is, most plans you hear about don’t seem to be working! – I think we’re all looking for something natural and organic to emerge … yeah, sounds a good plan!

      lol, thank you! (still feeling befuddled by the word plan for something I do so randomly but wow, it’s great that someone thinks I’m following a plan. I don’t know why that makes me happy but it does.)

      Glad you like the tanka, D! Thank you. I gave up waiting on the ideas, lol. I lost the key to my mind’s filing cabinet long ago. I sit down at my keyboard and my mind’s a blank! So I pop a random word into google and then see what pops up under news, images or whatever. I envy people who know what they are going to write about when they sit down but I’m not one of them.

    I want to be writing daily! I often wonder what I was committing to by writing 3 times a week!

      I tend to write too long so initially I just committed to writing “regularly” which actually turned out to be erratically, lol. You do much better than I do, K, as you write regularly. Once I started writing haiku, it was short enough I found myself writing everyday and sometimes the haiku would precede my long essay. My long writing is still erratic. What I find some days is that I feel like, oh gawd, why am I doing this? but once I start writing, it just flows and then I’m glad I did, especially on “long” days because I never know what I’m going to write. The surprises in the writing keeps my mind perky.
