A screenshot of a notes app note, reading: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 8 Instead of saying, simply, "I love you," Try something like, "My spirit yearns to spend Eternity with you," or, "All I do I do your will to serve, your soul to tend." Or say, "I will do anything for love." (Be sure to leave off Meat Loaf's final clause), Or, "When you fell to Earth from heaven above How many bumps and bruises did it cause?" Or maybe take a more comedic route; "I love you lots like jelly tots," perhaps. Throw on some sweet treats and a kiss to boot To show your strength of feeling will not lapse. But the again, these tips are all cliches; Best then to find a unique turn or phrase.

Day 8 of #30DaysofSonnets: today's poem is an exploration of the different ways to say "I love you". #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

A screenshot of a notes app note which reads: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 7 I'm lying in my garden on the grass Stretched out beneath an endless, pale blue sky, The sun warming my back, and wondering why Today's poem's so difficult to start. Maybe it was the darkness of the house, A soporific, shadowy cocoon Made more for sleeping than the sun at noon Blazing above, toasting my whole back side. But now the heat is coaxing my eyes shut Despite the brightness out here. That's not fair! At least this way I'm getting some fresh air; And look, I'm almost twelve lines down at least. And even though this sonnet's not my best, It's written. Now I'll stay out here and rest.

Day 7 of #30DaysOfSonnets. I jinxed it yesterday by saying this was getting easier. But hey ho, at least I got to write in the sunshine today #PoetsSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

A screenshot of a notes app note, which reads: 30 days of Sonnets: day 6 What do you do with this one precious life, A fleeting flame so easily sniffed out? Our time is brief, the world so full of strife, It's hard to fathom what it's all about. Some wise philosophers have shared their views On which approach to living they think best, And Godly men are often known to muse Upon shat merits a soul's peaceful rest. Physicians of the body and the mind Promote good health as worthy of pursuit, Whilst modern mystics seek instead to find Their own authentic truth as their life's root. For my art, this one answer will suffice: Love fearlessly and deep. That's my advice.

Day 6 of #30DaysOfSonnets. Thought of the first line the other day, so decided to make it the subject of today's poem. Sidenote, I low key think these are getting easier, but I don't want to jinx it! #PoetSky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

A screenshot of a notes app note which reads: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 5 An actor's life is far from glamorous Like films and magazines often portray, With crowds of fans adoring, clamorous, Mobbing the stage door in a feral frey. For most of us, our work is seldom seen: We home our craft and learn our lines alone. And whilst you might think "resting" is serene, In truth, we work all hours to the bone To feed and clothe ourselves. Then, when at last A job arrives and we can use our skill, The heady whirlwind will too soon have passed And then we're back again to square one. Still Though "glamorous" is not my life, that's fine: I wouldn't trade this actors life of mine.

Day 5 of #30DaysofSonnets. Too tired to give backstory for this one. Sorry. #PoetsSky #Poetry #WritersSky

A screenshot of a notes app notes, which reads: 30 Days Of Sonnets: Day 4 I miss long summers underneath the trees: The bluebells carpeting the ground, the hush Beneath the canopy, the whispering breeze That rustles through the creeping underbrush. The shade is cool and soothing on my skin, Baked underneath the blazing midday sun, As the first maple seeds tumble and spin Towards the earth below. My fingers run Along the flaking bark and papery leaves As I breathe in the heavy-scented dirt, 'Til evening draws me home, and my heart greaves To leave behind this haven and revert Back to my mundane life boxed in by walls So seldom breeched by nature's joyous calls.

Day 4 of #30DaysOfSonnets: todays ended up being a tribute to all those hours walking in the woods when I wasn't allowed to. #PoetsOfBlueSky #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #writingcommunity

Really good thread #booksky #writerssky

A screenshot of a notes app note, which reads: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 3 I'm starting to regret this little scheme Of writing thirty sonnets in a month. As fun and simple as the task may seem, It needs a certain clarity of thought That doesn't come as easy as I'd like When I don't get as much sleep as I ought, Or inspiration refuses to strike, Or my to-do list crams my restless brain. And so I write on struggling to write. And though the struggle often feels in vain, I sometimes compose something that's alright; Not blowing any minds, but even so I think it's better to push through and see What I can do despite what limits me.

Day 3 of #30DaysOfSonnets. I'm so tired from life and work and audition prep, so this is what came out of me today. Written on the train home from work #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #writingcommunity

A screen shot of a notes app which reads: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 1 I set a challenge for myself to write A sonnet each and every day this month: A worthy goal to set myself, which might Improve my prolificity and skill. And I enjoy a sonnet; it's a thrill To try and fit my thoughts into the form. The bouncy rhythm helps me to distil The disparate words and phrases in my mind. The rhymes, however, take some time to find, And so I use my own creative flare To write myself out of a tricky bind By making up a rhyme scheme that will fit The message I would like my verse to tell. As Shakespeare put it: all's well that ends well.

Yesterday I had the idea to write a sonnet every day for 30 days and today I wrote a sonnet, so that's my April sorted, I guess. #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #PoetsOfBlueSky #WritingCommunity #Sonnet

#Febchantment All witches innatelyvknow how to use their magic. However, more complex things (e.g. potions, complex spells) are taught by an elder in the community. If you're in line to be a High Priest(tess) you go through add'l training.

#AwesomeCharacters In book 1 you get almost 2 months with the characters. The second book gives a little longer, but I haven't figured out the exact timeline yet.

#Febchantment The witches in my family can use magic as well as a demon and a diety. Magic effects the witches as it's a part of who they are.

#Febchantment Magic is very important. Something magical happening is the reason my story kicks off. It's mentioned throughout in several instances, but it's not as important as the first event.

Yay! I’m so excited to be doing #RevPit for the first time as an editor! #WritingCommunity #WritersSky #AmWriting Check out my wish list here:

#Febchantment Since the supernatural has come out (because they're more than just witches) law enforcement agencies got departments solely to deal with them. There are goddess-touched witches who work in the fbi. Witch 'influencers' are a thing.

I printed a book previously only available as a download. Got my proof copy yesterday, and it is a beautiful little 91-page book. Came out perfectly!
This is what I did to take a break from writing my other book. 🙃 #booksky #writerssky #writersky

#Febchantment It is illegal for witches to use magic against a human. It's illegal for a human to ask a witch to use magic to harm/influence another human. It was hard to enforce until a GT witched created a 'lie detection' spell.
