Victoria is tending today and has us writing a Tilus, a form developed by Kelvin S.M. There is supposed to be a break in between the last two lines, but I forgot it before I saved the image. This piece is not only my first Tilus, but also my first attempt at scanner photography.  I am looking forward to trying out both again soon. So, while your surfing, head on over to the Pub and check out the Tilus!

Marina Sofia has us exploring identity today. I have another response to the prompt floating around in my head, but I went with this one to link because it's more serious. (translation: sad) I'll write the other one and try to post it as well. I already like it better.

I wrote this as my sister-in-law was walking down the aisle. I'm sentimental like that. And it's hot like that in Mobile.

I just realized that sinceI sign these and date them, I should probably try to date the base picture as well. This one of from a couple of months ago. I'll do better in the future.

My sweetie asked me how people know what to write. Is it you think of a word and something comes from that, or you see something, or is it just random thoughts? For me it's all of those things and then some. He said "So I could give you seven words and you could write something?" I said that I'd try and I let him expand to seven things, people, concepts. Here's the list he gave me:

George Carlin, summer, children ,ice cream , amusement parks, orange (color), sweaters

I have found Pixlr* in the past few days and have also started exploring Instagram*, so I looked through my pictures to see if there was something that I thought would give me a place to start.  The only image editing I did with this picture was to add the text with Pixlr. I can't remember what this picure is of, I think a Christmas tree. I was trying out the $5.00 digital camera I bought myself for Christmas (It has no frills!)

I thought that I would ask you to please leave you thoughts on writing if you are commenting on this post. I am interested and I think my sweetie would be as well.



*This is not a sponsored post. I am just having a lot of fun with both Pixlr and Instagram. :)

Kellie's prompt for today was this:

Tell me about this girl…


And I thought about this picture I took of my friend Kristin 22 years ago. We have lived that lifetime over again since then. I love you Kris! And how better to express that than a Collum Lune?
