A Cup of Coffee and a Conversation
Thank you for joining me for coffee today. I have a new Keurig so I have some new flavors to share! Caramel? Dark Roast? Hot chocolate perhaps?
If we were having coffee I would tell you a new moon is this Sunday. The new moon cycle is a time of new beginnings. I will do my tarot pull for the new moon Sunday.
If we were having coffee I would tell you I had many new concepts come to my attention this week. One was Memento Mori — it is a short story written by Nathan Nolen. There is also the use of the phrase to remind yourself you will die. It is an absolute truth, so you must choose to live every day. It is the idea to not forget that your daily life is important. I am still thinking about how this will manifest itself in my life. It ties into my one word for the year of More. I want my daily life to have more of what is essential to me.
Another concept that came to me was from the Rebel Author Podcast. I am drawn to sections of books and short stories often. I copy lines and ideas in my notebook. Gabriella Piera talked about photocopying the section and making a note of the craft concept, why you liked it and then giving it a category so if you having trouble writing dialogue, or a character you can have your set of mentor texts to refer to altogether.
