Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Reading #Writing #Thoughts

 Meander 1 - Reading - Still reading Mary Jo Putney's regency romances and have nearly finished the ones I have. There have been so few new books that interest me so I re-read. I've started Jennifer Probst's new book but i'll talk about that next week. 

Meander 2 - Thoughts - So much dreadful happened last week. I just can't understand people who listen to and believe lies by a large con artist. I decided to do something different and that was taking the ornaments from the Christmas tree and counting them. This year of the 250 ornaments I have I only managed to find room for 224 ornaments. Some were left out. Decorating a tree for so few people might have seemed foolish to some people but with the state of affairs these days having something beautiful to look at and having the memories the ornaments brought was good. Soom I hope there will be beautiful things happening to this country. One can only hope.

Meander 3 - Writing - 3 more chapters to write in the rough draft. Then comes the challenge of making this mishmash into a real story. Hopefully before long I will start on the next adventure. Finding places ot hint of coming events in the story, events I had no idea would come into play. This will be fun.

Meandering on Monday with Janet Lane Walters #MFRWauthor #poetry #Christmas ornaments

Meander 1 _This week's poem

Tracings

Your fingers gently flowing
Velvet love tattoos on my breasts
Exploring in patterns -- tracings
Moving ever downward
Etching love upon my body
Tracints toward fulfillment
So we meet -- unite -- join
In a brocade of love.

Meander 2 - Christmas ornaments.

Just finished the Christmas tree adding decorations one by one. They're bringing memories of friends who don't inhabit my life these days. The tiny Christmas sweater given by a friend. The piece of glass made by another friend. The ornaments made by a friend now in Florida at out first critiqie Christmas party. The peace sign made many years ago by another friend. As I hang them I wonder if they remember the days when the ornaments were gifts. There are others. One from my childhood with the green year to hang it on the tree. There are the ones from the first tree of my marriage. And all the ones mates to those given to the children in their stockings. I still do that. So now there are 300 ornaments on my tree and 300 memories.

Meader 3 - Writing

I am still plowing through Wizards. Hopefully by next week I'll be able to start the final draft. I'm also working on my friend's last book and pulling all the things I must learn about to make this story sing. Will I manage. I'll do the best I can. Sometimes I hear her speaking when I'm writing.
