85 Days Remain
A continuation of my #last100days2023 project
Welcome to my #last100dayproject!
What are you focusing on for the remainder of 2023?
There are 85 days left of the year 2023.
You can begin today! I give you permission!
What do you want to make a priority for the remainder of the calendar year?
Today’s prompt:
What image or memory comes to mind when you think of the word HOURGLASS?
Do you have any hourglasses?
I became obsessed with these several years ago. I noticed hourglasses started showing up in my writing. An hourglass is a large part of one of my NANOWRIMO novels.
I invite you to search your notebooks and drives for the prompt word and see what drafts you have that you can resurrect and revise.
What will you write today?
A list of types of hourglasses and the settings where they are
What needs to be measured?
What is a metaphor you can create with an hourglass as a component?
A memory of a time you used an hourglass
One sentence containing the word hourglass
Maybe you start a conversation with a stranger about the word and that is the story you write. Whatever you choose - have fun!
Happy writing!
I invite you to leave a comment even if you are just reading and not doing a project! Just say hello so I know you are out there! You belong simply because you are here.
I would love to hear about your progress on your projects too!!

**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, a link to your blog/Substack, 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.
Thank you. I have been teetering on the edge of writer's slump. Now will consider the hourglass, and I come from the generation of 36-24-36. Glad we don't dwell there anymore.
