0+30. Joyfully (in this moment) admitting defeat (re: NaNoWriMo) :))

On By NadineIn Other

Just a quick post – haha I always end up writing a long one when I say that. (But… try try again :)):

I have not counted words

That is totally absurd

Not usual for me

I’ve gone word-count awol it seems

I’ve been writing poetry

entirely based on whimsy

it feels so darned good to me

—Iike abbreviating icebergs, see?

So failing NaNo rocks

since in the failing, I’ve removed other blocks.

I feel I’ve delighted in good friends!

What a beautiful and wild-flung end.

To you, fellow word-smiths,

my most heartfelt gratitude I send. ❤️

Your words shake me and make me

Your kindness slakes me and unbreaks me

The colours outside now call, so free:

It’s fall! It’s fall! 🍁🍂💥🌤

Let’s run outside and rake the leaves!

.

Love,

xo Nadine 🌷

(And thanks

for experiencing NaNo, with me.

you’ve brought me all and any joy, here seen. :))

    1. Ah thank you dear Joseph. You are the Josephian master of your own special forms of it, ones I always love to read, and even better, *see* — in your awesome performance videos. It is addictive, that’s for sure, as for not offending anyone, all one can do is hope for the best I suppose, just like in any other kind of writing 😬🧐😄😇😉☯️🙏

    1. Awww that is so lovely… so wonderful that you make that super important time… you must be a wonderful step parent. Just gorgeous. Thanks DustBunnies, your posts have been inspiring and insightful and delightful. One of the best parts of NaNo for me. 😊

  7. This feels free, liberating, like I really can imagine you running outside to rake leaves, laughing wildly, happy and content. I love

    1. Charlie, I adore this comment. Coming from the poet laureate of particulate linguiverse, I feel especially honoured… and this video!!! Did you know, I channel Weird Al’s songstyle most days? I’m always impromptuing new lyrics to old tunes, especially when with the kids, hehe. Also, I think I need that outfit of the first woman in the vid lol – so awesome and perfect for the holiday season, too 😄
      Thanks Charlie 🤗xoxo
