I’m giving up on daily for at least another week. Because it splits my attention during the day and there are other habits i feel are more important to work on.

Some More Words
Once
And form a single angle,
To me it looked like an angel,
But in truth I spelt it wrong.
(I need to set myself more guidelines for these I’m taking it a little too easy.)
Complex
To be complex is not to have a complex, but that can certainly help.
(Now for realsies)
Much can be made from little, such can be done for free.
Time is the price we may pay time of which there is plenty.
Time is the cost we require, slightly less than the battle
And with that time I acquire they could’ve have done so much else.
Noble
Separate and above, at least how we see ourselves,
The world is ours as long as we don’t change it.
A word can have two opposites (or many more it’s true)
But I just chose one each today, as most people do.
And while there are many more words that I can now approach.
I have chosen to be done. (No matter the reproach.)
Some Words
Provider
Greater, or lesser,
A king and a tool.
Sometimes it serves us and sometimes it rules
But when we expect it to be far away,
it will do both and expect us to pay.
Destroy
Leaving nothing in my wake I will destroy.
There was something that once was great I will destroy.
And yet nothing is absolute, I may burn but the very act of destruction is incomplete, as we can only build out of what exists when we break something apart there are parts left, and though we may see it as something incapable of repair. We are destroying not creating, and we do not see what a creative can build out of what remains, and what can be rebuilt. Even when what is rebuilt is the same.
Reduce
A word can have two opposites if I don’t reduce it’s meaning.
And I don’t want to put in the time or mental effort to produce more content today, but I’ll reduce my resistance then push through.
There will have been once more, and in the future, there will be less.
This work I don’t adore, but people will think better.
Simple but not completely so.
Some words I must let go.
Shrink
One who practices psychology but with the theme I’m going for that would be a smart-ass answer.
To decrease in size with no evident renewal? Or to take part of and leave?
To hit with a ray that makes much trouble but in that I don’t believe.
Arm
To strike with an arm through a leg would be stronger, and arm is the tool of control.
To war we are armed our enemies skewered, with a desire to claim control.
(The quality and length of these seem to be in opposition to the quantity I create and how much else I do in the day. But I spent this day occupied and with great headaches. So I’ll cut this short. I have little momentum left today, but I’ll start tomorrow with more of these and see where that takes me.)
6 Attempts at Questions Where I’m actually Just Trying To Prove a Point
Well, I was being somewhat passive-aggressive for some of them, I’m not sure how much I was proving.
And today has no particular color, I’ve been more focused on music.
Why don’t people meditate for at least 10 minutes every day? If it has even a small portion of the reported benefits it’s worth far more time and investment. And 10 minutes a day for a month isn’t much? Actually it’s 5 approximately 5 hours. That can be a lot, but those ten minutes can be applied to many other things. Exercise for one, but exercise is difficult for other reasons. But meditation can be difficult as well. At least if you need it.
Why don’t people clean up after themselves? If everyone would do it the world would be a much better place.
Why are people who want to do good in the world discouraged from becoming firemen? (Wow there are a lot of assumptions in this one.)
What is the most noble profession? If self-sacrifice is noble why are there still noble people in the world? Why would one want to sacrifice oneself? Why wouldn’t one want to help?
Why don’t we clean up our personal spaces? Why do we not clean up public places? Why do so many people who do one not do the other?
When is “Nobody else is doing it” a valid excuse?
Just Write
Just write is much easier when I didn’t just try and consume hours of information and opinions.
But when an artist has no ideas and just draws, than he is creating art, but I am not sure where to draw the line between creating and talking. Between writing something worth reading and just talking into the void, but some communication is worth having.
And so…
Just write a thing the words will come, and all I have is nothing.
I will create a second sun compared I have but nothing.
Never-mind, I’m not cogent when just writing I’d be better as an editor if I didn’t have so many ideas I wanted to express. So why aren’t I expressing them? Procrastination, and when I do get to writing them they are so corrupted by other media I consume in close period that I feel a need to make them again from the beginning.
Singular
A moment.
Nah I have nothing.
Indomitable
And yet this is what I am posting today.
I have recently proven myself to be domitable, but acceptance is the first step to change. Or however that line goes.
And I shall not share the details here because it is embarrassing, maybe when something else is that important for me.
I am attempting to write something bigger today, but I am not confident in it being something I’ll want to post so this is what I am posting today.
(am I using repetition correctly? I’m not sure yet but I am learning)
16 Words
And for this one I used a random word generator.
Cemetery
A place those unwanted go to sleep,
Despite the fact that relatives weep.
Their memory more valuable then their shell,
though some would claim they burn in hell.
Beach
I walked across a beach one I would not see again,
I had to go to see right now I had to leave my friends.
I could return to build a house upon my little isle,
but when if I could then chose what else I would be in denial.
I waited there in hunger, letting my mind decay,
if not for all that hungers, I would be there till this day.
Among those who remained there were many satisfied,
But to become that simple I first would have to die.
Trouser
I would not wear trousers,
I would not believe,
I would not be mighty,
But I would have a reprieve.
I would run round’ naked,
with food my only care,
I would run round’ happy till I’m eaten by a bear.
(I could continue this one, I did have a plan but I did say I would write 37 of these and the current me doesn’t want to spend as much time here as last night me wanted me to.)
Force
I forced myself to do this and I find it really,
As I need force to continue as if I were on a run.
And I shall write six now as I will for hours hence,
And for every time I use that word I’ll charge myself two pence.
(My rhythm is repeating I want to try something else)
Oil
A darkness creeps across the land
all see it and flee, some strangely happy, the dead are chasing me.
Some fought it with fire,
they’ve brought great shame to me.
Though on fire they be, the dead are chasing me.
And fires within steel can be used to run away,
and the darkness that is outside shall not catch me today.
And while the dead are chasing me, dead they shall stay.
(I feel I kinda changed the style and lost the theme i was going for with the last line, but I spent too much time trying to find something that works and today’s theme is quantity, not quality.)
Sanctuary
A place the living rest when they wish not to die.
A place the dead are put away from living eyes.
Attention
Notice me whoever you be for I have something special here.
And though I fear the masses eye, please let someone more be hear.
Medicine
A cure is sometimes medicine as so are all vaccines,
Almost every poison is too.
But some medicine is only medicine when given under an oath.
(Well I am becoming somewhat concise and so I’ll take a break now.)
Penalty
When something has a cost you did not expect.
(Now that I’m back I’m realizing the extend of my creative juices and how long it takes to replenish them.)
Extract
When life gives you lemons make lemonade, so extract all that is good for them and discard the rest. Or maybe use the peel for cooking and the seeds for a tree, the fiber can also be processed into something useful but we are expected to have more than a lemon.
If all we had were lemons we’d well they’d be as useful as corn.
(I was supposed to be using word play or attempting poetry here. But I’m out of brain.)
Physical
As opposed to all that we choose to see, always something near.
What is physical is the surface on which all thought is created and communicated.
And its opposite is fiction.
(My head hurts.)
Restoration
I drank a cup of water, but it did not help.
I returned to where I once was, there is no room.
I put it together as it once was, and it will brake again pretty soon.
I changed it and improved upon it. And that let it be.
The process of restoration is not always happy.
Consciousness
We make decisions and our bodies do everything else.
We act and then our decisions may actually be.
There is difficulty when we must override more systems.
But as I see it, consciousness is what exists when the systems in place aren’t sufficient for the decisions that need to be made.
(Now I’m just writing. But it is not easy. I’ve gotten thirteen of these done, I’ll take another break and see if the next seven will be easier then.)
Inn
A piece of fiction with a few real life counterparts.
(Nope now I’m just doing silly definitions.)
Chaos
Entropy with the occasional habit of acting in reverse.
Assume
It is this way is what they say so why should mine be different.
And so I shall approach the day while acting indifferent.
They may respond with screams and shouts but they are worse so different.
But I repeat my actions angry yet indifferent.
(I feel like I’m not using repetition correctly, so I’ll make that tomorrow’s post if I’m less busy than I expect to be.)
Ah… I’m out of time, distracted. Lost my focus. Excuses all of them. But you know what? I’m cashing them in. See you later.
(It seems I’m not yet back in shape for writing these posts. But at least I can get into shape this time.)
Quick update
Well I forgot to write a second post today, and it is already tomorrow here so instead of trying to expand upon or share one of the six other projects I’m juggling over the aether I’ll instead get back into a blog writing mindset by making at least 37 Words as it is something I think I’m decent at and at the very least I’ll know what I’m doing.
I wanted to go for a full hundred but I don’t have the time or the patience. That will be the target nonetheless.
Half a Pre-Post
More Than Three Questions (according to definitions that are not my own):
–
What creative project could the average person get done in a week? And remember if we average skill levels the average person is bad at nearly anything.
So what can I do? And what can you…
–
How many people are actually interested in partaking in creative endeavors? Let me not word that like a snob. How many people actually want to be creative? How many of those are willing to put in the work to make something out of their ideas? And how many are then willing to sell their ideas? for the last one I can probably get somewhat accurate numbers. But I’m not doing that at the moment.

Two Attempts At Creative Lines:
–
Andre greatly enjoys eating radishes, but beyond the mountains live giants. And if Andre were to become a giant a simple radish might be too small for him.
–
How would I draw the picture spark memory? Not well, my visual communication skills are lacking and need more practice. So it shall not arrive today.
It was one minute too late so I cannot do it.
I shall not be worse than I can.
