Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
Daily writing prompt
I love to read and write, and organize my days to support these goals. Rest, work in the kitchen and around the house, always learning. Grateful older years.

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.
Daily writing prompt
I have postponed a chapbook a few times. There is no hurry though. Our previous book, Quiet Christmas Poetry, began as a blog and then became a large print chapbook in 2014. The book is still shared and read.

Reflection and Revision
What could you do differently?
Daily Prompt
I have taught writing and read many books about creativity and writing. There is encouragement to try, practice your craft, grow, make changes as needed.
“What are your biggest challenges?”
What are your biggest challenges?
Daily Prompt
One challenge these days is organizing my creative work. Blogs work so well for this goal. When I reprint a poem, or if a new poem from my blogs is published again in a journal or book, I note the references and credits in a post or page. This is a work-in-progess, and I like that I can update posts.
Over time, a lot of good work can grow, one post at a time. Then the challenge is to review here and there. You may have written a haiku sequence, a chapbook, short stories, some poems for notecards or a collage, or a poem for a bulletin board to encourage others.
Hopefully, I grow as a writer here, and can also review my work and see how I can write a poem a little better. Wonderful to try new ideas.
This Page is an example of how work can be organized: Haiku Society of America Members’ Anthologies (my haiku 2013 – 2022).
Thank you and blessings for your creative work!
Creativity
How are you creative?
Daily Prompt
There are many ways to be creative, and we are all creative. I read and write poetry. I try new blog and post designs, as I learn more about WordPress. I reprint older poems in new ways, and I write new poems.
A note of encouragement, a simple meal, ideas for a garden next year . . . my creativity changes over time. Grateful every day. And sometimes I simply need to rest for awhile. Spring follows winter.

Daily Prompt: December 19, 2022
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
Daily Prompt
Good to have goals, and make changes as needed. One goal I have is to continue to create with blogs. In this sense, my life is as pictured a year ago. And I am here at my computer in the same room, with a tree by the window. Thank you.
