Notes: Okay... doing something a little different. I don't have another chapter of Plugged In quite ready yet, but I was hoping not to "cop out" and just do a random post in place of a story. I was hoping to actually have something worth reading.... And that's when I remembered this story I wrote… Continue reading Unexpected Advice
Not much to report this week. Still writing. I've actually gone back to the story I was working on for this past NaNoWriMo. I got a little bit of inspiration... which came in a burst of frustration. Oh well, at least it's constructive. Onward and upward, I suppose. Oh, and I need to start thinking… Continue reading Returning to NaNoWriMo
Copyright Sarah Davidson 2021 A few years ago, during a road trip out west, I couldn't believe the breathtaking views. It didn't matter if we were in a national park or just driving on the highway: Every inch of landscape seemed to have been carved by sculptors, painted by artists. The mountains, the canyons, the… Continue reading Just Driving By
I think a lot about "Musée des Beaux Arts" by W.H. Auden-- About how the world can be shattering for one person, But blossoming for the next; About how one soul can be grieving And another celebrating; About how a moment of peace in one place Can happen beside a moment of strife in another.… Continue reading I think a Lot About “Musée des Beaux Arts”
Most people don’t appreciate time. Their precious routines make time seem like nothing more or less than a light breeze skimming the roofs of their houses: unnoticeable, unassuming, uninteresting. It comes, it goes, it leaves them behind until, like a long-extinct leaf, it blows them away with it. Time is nothing to most people. … Continue reading Plugged In, Chapter Seven: The Bleeding Man
Alright... query letter sent. Check-list for March is done. (Better late than never, right?) Now to dive into April. Since I have that other manuscript edited, sending off other queries will be much easier. I've also been working on material for the blog, particularly poems and stories. I've been making some nice progress on Plugged… Continue reading Planning vs. Pantsing
Copyright Sarah Davidson 2021 I took this photo a long while back, right after buying my first nice camera. Every time I see it, I think of the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles. It's funny how certain images can always spark the same memories. For me, it's the same tune: "Blackbird singing in the dead… Continue reading Broken Together
I want to be.….And only be.Who I am--And what you see--Are both the sameAnd only me. Copyright Sarah Davidson 2021
“Don’t you look the part of the solider preparing for battle?” The Governance official, all careful manicure and styled hair, chuckled at him. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were walking into a war zone rather than a delivery system. That’s all you are, after all, sweetie, a delivery man. Does that… Continue reading Plugged In, Chapter Six: The First Day
So... you know how I said last week I was almost ready to send off another query? Guess who is still "almost" ready. Life got a little busy--a few long days at work, some chores around the house that really needed to get done... and, to be totally honest... there was also a REALLY good… Continue reading Running a Little Late
