Blog Manifesto

Blog Manifesto


This blog is dedicated, as the title would suggest, to the qualities of being young. We are young writers. We are playful and sensitive, fluid and changing. We are unashamed with our art. We wonder at the world, puzzle over the meanings of things and twirl in delight at images and ideas that float by, grabbing at them as they pass. We are curious and constantly inquiring and prying concepts open and taking assumptions apart. We are on the ground, close to the earth. We have bare feet and wiggle our toes into nature. We carry our blankies still and wrap up cozy and comfy with each other and tell ghost stories and shiver at creepy things. We laugh and we cry and we take a lot of naps, drained from our outings and exertions.

We write as gifts to each other, tying them up in ribbon and leaving them around for each other to find, hiding and waiting for the person to wake up and read. Surprise! We weave our stories together to create a bond. One writes, then the other. then another again. We have a shared reality that we have crafted, bit by piece by patch, by string. We write simple, honest authentic things, with our unique voices. You can tell each one of us from the other, without knowing who wrote what. Our voices are clear and gentle and original. We whisper and our personalities roar! Like children, our feelings are strong, our passion for what we write shakes us. We are moved and sometimes left breathless, by our own words or the words of each other. We cannonball into each others spaces. We fall backward into each others writing, like into a pile of leaves or a soft bed. We gobble and grin and ask for more. (footnote kudos to JC)

Then we go to bed, wake up to a new day and do it all over again!

into the future…


This morning JC, Rosie, Jini and I were on chat at the same time for the first time since Jini had left for school a couple of months ago.

Jini had mentioned for us all to do a twenty. I work at a much slower pace at everything, so I had to ask … a 20??? It’s been so long since I’ve heard the word twenty or the number 20…I forgot it meant to do a writing in 20 minutes or less.

Whats the topic for the day???
Ummmm JC decides on “future”…which can be anything…

Rosie was mixed on today which is Wednesday or is it for Thursday after JC’s talk with his dad.

Finally we got the 20 minute writing, Wednesday evening and on the future all settled with timelines…since we are all scattered.

This is my Into The Future:

I was pooling this afternoon with some random. We were betting high at 500. Random  won 1, I won 1…then I said “1 more for the tie breaker and then I g2g”…random said ok.
Random shoots, Reese shoots and random shoots again and again….I was getting bored so I noticed 2 buttons on the side of my mouse. Hmmmm wonder what these do…click on one and it didn’t do anything…click on the other button and poof….pooling is gone and I can’t get back to my game…500 smackeroooos right down the drain. In my future, I will leave the buttons untouched while I am gaming…

I know my future writing will be totally off the wall from the other 3…but I did it in less than 20.
