83 Days Remain in 2024
A Question and an Image to Spark Creativity during the #last100days2024
Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
There are 83 days left in 2024.
Today’s question: What needs unfolding?
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.
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 love the word 'unfold'.
It sounds and feels like a gentle world, encouraging the user to relax and unwind, to let the tension go away.
'Fold' feels neat and formal and full of rules and expectations and judgment. That stern look with folded arms from a dance teacher or a parent.
The 'un' is the undoing of all of that.
I like the concept of 'unfolding' in poetry. I don't know if anyone has talked about poetry in this way: the way a poem unfolds on the page, in text and meaning, visually line by line. Each line and image or thought unfolds another layer of meaning, until the poem is complete. For now. For every reading is another kind of unfolding of language.
Wow Tammy! You totally captured my thing this morning! Let's hope it unfolds justly and kindly for all concerned.
