80 Days Remain in 2024
80 Days Remain in 2024
A Question and an Image to Spark Creativity during the #last100days2024
Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
There are 80 days left in 2024.
Welcome to the 13th of the month! Thirteen is typically a lucky day/number for me. Do you have strong feelings about certain numbers? My son, when he was little, adored the number 100.
It is Sunday again and today is all about the soup. I am whipping up some broccoli and cheese today. A new recipe to me from my favorite recipe site SALT AND LAVENDER.
Yesterday, I felt like I had stopped catching up from the camping trip, and we are off again to Florida on Tuesday. I did quality writing in the morning and then took myself on an artist date. What are your favorite artist dates? Mine usually involve the library and a cafe—occasionally, the bookstore!
I was rereading some notebooks and was pleased to find some sparkly lines! Deep winter is going to be about rereading and revision this year.
Today’s question: What is something that is lost?
Today’s image:
I found this on one of my walks with my friend Katie. It was just sitting in the middle of the gravel road. I wonder what it was purchased for…I am not sure what role it will play in my creative life yet!
For the last 100 days, I invite you to join me and experiment.
Each day for the remainder of the year I will share a question and a photo of an item.
You are welcome to write into the question and/or the photo.
Or you can start a new ritual or experiment of your own creation.
I would love to hear about your progress on whatever project you want to begin!
**NOTE**
I do not share drafts of work online because most publications considered this published. You are more than welcome to share your piece in the comments, an excerpt or an update.
I hope for the comments to be a community for us to share these wins.
A little more about me: Tammy L. Evans is a writer, teacher, and coach living in a tiny house on a peninsula with her husband and adventure cat. Her location device is her loud laugh. She is working on a non-fiction book about how to submit and publish your first pieces. She is the creator and host of THE BRADBURY TRIO COURSE. Her poetry has been published in The Storyteller, FoxGlove Journal, Story Hall, Blue Insights, The Partnered Pen, and others. Her fiction has been published in Gone Lawn, Cabinets of Heed, Spelk, Five on the Fifth, Clover and White, Fiction Berlin Kitchen, and others.
I’m reading your recent posts early since I’m on fall break and will celebrate with a baby shower for my daughter in Owensboro today. You inspire me to want to do a writing crawl as I visit this city. Also, I want to invite you to write poetry at the ethicalela site this month. We would love to have you at Open Write for our five days of writing later this month.
Good morning Tammy! At first I thought of negative losses, the kind that make you pine and feel like a tree that lost all its leaves without the glorious transformation of cascading colour. Then I realized there are other kinds of loss that lead to new growth and new Universes that open up inside one's self. I also find interesting things on my walks . This makes my daily walk around my very ordinary, "boring" suburban neighborhood, feel a bit like a treasure hunt.
