AS I WRITE I BREATHE

WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Saturday, July 13, 2024 Hi there everyone,     I have been absent here but remembered to write. Summer is pool time and taking care of my small garden. These last workshops have been full of surprises for me. I am getting my groove back and the writing is flowing quite easily. So here we go with a few short writing from these workshops with  WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA As always, thanks for stopping by, Wednesay June 26, 2024 3 DRAFTS Prompt: Write to the line I am not done yet I'm bored, he said. How can you be bored when there are so many things to do. I'm not talking about household chores, she says. What about just sitting down and looking around you. You could explore something in your room, the house, or outside. Hm, I don't know Mom. I'm just so bored. By then she had left the kitchen. The child looks around in search of something.  He's trying to make up his mind on this idea. He lands in the living room and notices old photo al

 WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Wednesday, June 26, 2024 Hello there,       Here I am with some new writing practices with the same online group  Writers collective of Canada . I am finding these workshops more and more meaningful to me and my writing is benefiting from it also. This community is exceptional. It has no pretension but is the best place for a writer to open up and share what I have kept to myself for so long.      The facilitators are another reason why I enjoy the workshops. They have a love of writing and sharing their talents with us. So here I go with the writing of a few workshops I participated in throughout the month. Thank you for stopping by, Tuesday, June 11,24 1 DRAFT Prompt: Must have been about scars we have, physical or within us  The scar left from not being seen The scar left from not being heard These are scars that many carry throughout their lives At some point, one needs to be seen and heard We are human, it is our life's journey to emerge from them

 WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Sunday, June 09,2024 3 DRAFTS     Hi there everyone, hope you had a great week. I had some more writing from yesterday's workshop yes it's from the  WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA  online.  (Inspired by: What do memories mean to you? Write about someone's memory of a loved one.)     They say memories with loved ones are the last to leave a person with dementia or Alzheimer's. No coincidence there I say. We as humans can connect with others inherently. So it's natural for us to keep people we love vivid in our brains.     Mama used to talk about Dad a lot  she would talk about how handsome he was dressed when he proposed. Sometimes she would make us laugh with  the funny tricks she would play on him like putting shaving cream on his toothbrush before handing it to him. She giggled at how upset he would get but forgave her so quickly and she loved him as life itself.     Later as Alzheimers progressed, she  would talk about how she took ca

 WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Sunday June 09, 2024 2 DRAFTS Hello everybody,      I'm done transcribing all the writing, I've done so far with the   WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA  writing workshops. It's amazing how time flies by so quickly when I get started. I am growing more confident with my writing every day now.      I have missed sharing my writing and especially listening to other writers in the different groups I attend. It's one of the best experiences of my life.     Thanks for stopping by and please enjoy,   (Inspired by: What would you like to plant?) Same day, same routine, same old, same old as they say Who says, he asked a loud but to nobody. Sammy got up from his old rocker cracking from his weight What is there to do today? Life had nothing new in store for him Some time ago he still could go out on his own To the market, to Walts and his favourite place the tree nursery You see Sammy fell last month and he's bound to his chair He still could walk s

  WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Thursday June 06 2024 2 DRAFTS Hello there,       Here I am with a few drafts from last Saturday. I was as usual with a group of  WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA , and wonderful writers might I add. Generous with sharing their writing and offering kind words about others' writing also. I enjoy listening to everybody's comments and the bond that it builds within our community or writers.      Please settle down, relax maybe a cup of your favourite brew and enjoy.     Thanks for stopping by, Peggy (Inspired by: I prefer men to cauliflower. -Virginia Wolf) Tell me something about yourself, the interviewer asked What, do you mean, by what I  prefer to eat, not to eat,  I prefer to do, not to do, my abilities or non-abilities I don't understand what you are asking me Okay, okay he said Listen we go over everybody's application here at Prefer-this-or-that  We want to make sure to find the right match for the neighbours  Already living in the Prefer

 WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Wednesday June 05, 2024 3 DRAFTS      Another few transcripts of my writing inspired by prompts from the  WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA  I'm trying to transcribe my writing to get up to date. I'm a pen-and-paper girl, so to share my writing, I need to do this after writing. I don't mind; I only need to take the time and nowadays find the time to keep up. Thanks for stopping by, Peggy (Inspired by: Imagine a moment of peace in the future) Peace might come if they let it Thinking of broken families Children being caught between loyalty to Mom or Dad Peace might come if you let it Hoping that it may come from a political party While some have good intentions We know where that road leads Peace might come if we let it Unite all people without even mentioning Black, Indigenous, Asians, Indians, White, only people The support for tragedies in this world should have taught us by now Do I need to mention our Indigenous sisters lost to us without questio
