Time for another update 2/27/19
I am a graphic designer by day and dare I say renegade (cell phone) photographer and aspiring author? Yes, I'll say it. I do enjoy staying busy but now instead I spend more time for self-care and trying to find...me. I'm now busy in a more healthy way.
I was diagnosed with C-PTSD from a 10+ year abusive marriage and my hope is tap more into my creativity whether it be cooking, journaling, writing short stories or drawing to help cope. Scattered-brained is how I feel and I will try very hard to keep this personal blog as organized as possible…but no promises.
My journey so far has been filled with ups and downs and I'm working on getting more ups even when the downs are still there. Join me. I hope that you enjoy reading, find some inspiration and possibly help me do the same.
Thanks for reading, liking and following. It doesn't go unnoticed!

I’ve seen your 6-word story challenge posts and this prompt and I’m not entirely clear on the concept. Ok: 6 words only. But you don’t need to include the prompt word in the story? Just use it as a springboard but have your story reflect the idea of the challenge? You’re good at explaining this stuff. And I’m sure there’s a blog or web page somewhere; I just figured this is another chance to engage with a fellow blog writer :-).

The 6-Word stories are something that I fell in love with after reading Ernest Hemingway’s story:
“For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” and in those few words there was a story. It doesn’t have to include the prompt word and there are times that I have to use it because I’m drained creatively or distracted. It’s like the daily’s post but using only 6 words. It’s a great challenge to get you writing every day. Sometimes my 6 words can transform into 50. 🙂

That was a solidly satisfying and helpful reply. The Hemingway reference was a perfect illustration. Thank you.
