NaNo Key16

oh crap, a word war and I'm tired
I go onto chat on the NaNoWriMo site when I need a
break, not when I wanna do a Word War--but I'll
give it a go this time since I haven't before.
Fortunately I'm just writing about the experience
of Now and Now has infinite potential...

...the sun warms my vision as the clouds fade back
and reveal the light...

I popped into the Kingdom of Loathing for a visit
to let them know I'd be afk (away from Keyboard):

Rigormortia:be 30 minutes...
I'm in a NaNo word war
I'll use this haiku

There, that'll help since I tend to pause.
Write as many words as possible? Must stop thinking
about what I'm doing and just do it. What is it?
time to break on outoyster trees for christmas eveand polyglot stars
rage soft bright blue lightin adjectival madnessabject objections
Must I continue? My attention wanders, drifting in
the misty web of thoughts, seeking those photonic
connections which spark inspiration in ideas in
light in waves...

wonderous mind
cosmic neural network
compressed haiku

cerulean blue
weaves cool snakes into bright white
yellow flows to green

magenta enters
a blued violet starscape
bright sprites of pink light

peach whispers at edge
emerald nebulas wink
their bright eyes of God

red rise from within
blood fire of life and death
passion bred from pain

now soften with greens
life grows from death, begin now
to find balanced peace

watch the flow of paint
transform into its high self
harmony reaches

how much time left on this word war?ah, about 11 minature minutes
I have cramps--it's my moontimeI wish I had a moon lodge to go off to for a few
days each month--no responsibilities, bond with my
she-friends...clever women came up with that!!!

ouch, my ovary!
few days alone with friends
where is my moonlodge?

my 5-year-old son just got me to fix his toy and
said quite spontaneously: "the first thing alive in
the world made everything alive"
he just brought over an empty box of macaroni and
cheese (he had coveted from his sister) and said
that it was the first thing alive, it created
everything in the world
I love my kids!!! :-)

"Now the pumpkin's alive," he said.

time to go mommy

I'm going for gold

email to RespectfulLight friends:
Hi Friends,
I just found my double copy & paste error in Act 1. Here's a corrected Act 1
as well as Act 2. W!z, I hope you don't mind that I quoted your email in it.
I don't want to quote people too often in this my first draft because it
doesn't seem like a fair way to address my word count, lol.
My error and subesequent corrections dropped my count from over 5500 down to
4700 and some. Ah well. Hopefully, I'll stop obsessing over the word count at
some point. It can motivate, but it can also add stress. I will try to
achieve a more balance and rythmic approach.
Love,
Singing Grass
