Day 3 – Oops I missed a day

500 Words Challenge , ,
So I missed yesterday. Oops. It isn’t the end of the world. I will just get back up and get at it again today. The problem is that I didn’t plan. I was rushed and didn’t have plan to sit down and make myself write. Oh I just read what Jeff wrote about making time. He said it is an issue for lots of people. Not just me. I shouldn't feel bad. Tomorrow I know I will have to get up earlier to get this done. I have a full day as Prince. Today 5 Jan 2019 is the “Crowning” of the Leder Barron and his Comtess in Obertshausen at the Elf Babbscher. And as always there is a party…

Day 2 – Planning (kinda)

My 500 Words Challenge – Day 1

The habit of writing is something that I have wanted to do for a long long time. This exercise will start me down that path. The path of consistency. It won't be easy, but I know it will be worth it. Please excuse the spelling and grammar. This is meant to be an exercise in just showing up. A way to train myself to sit down and write daily. Editing will be done later. This is intended to build muscle memory for the long term. The Plan…

October 13, 2018 – Daily Writing

Daily ,
Siting at the Starbucks on the Hauptwache in Frankfurt Germany is the best time I have spent by myself in quite a long time. The atmosphere here is on of casual passers by and vacationing tourists. There are so many languages being spoken. Even though this is Frankfurt Germany German is rare. Mostly English but also Urdu, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Dutch. It is a sweet blend perfect for the coffe house sound track that helps me focus on my writing. I have really no idea what these people are saying, but I love the medlody it produces. Groups of tourists make their way from and to the Römer, the Zeil, The Pauls Church. German teens chill after shopping at the…
