25 Days Remain in 2024
A Question and an Image to Spark Creativity during the #last100days2024
Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
There are 25 days left in 2024.
Today’s questions: What is your anchor?
Today’s image:
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.

"Anchor"
I am a ship with legs. A cool wind blows through my hair today. The temperature is cool and the humidity is low. I sail on a road with other ships. My legs take me to places containing treasures, traps, and tricky obstacles. I collect my small triumphs and promptly forget where I put them.
I am a ship without an anchor, and I feel restless without one.
When my notebook is open and my pen is ready in my hand, I realize what my anchor is. The page and the pen work together to produce anchoring words. Words describe me as a ship, and I become one. Words can anchor me by giving my imagination a safe harbor. Even as I move through my day, the page calls to me with kind urgency and love.
