Stories are a way of life

Last month, instigated the Every Day Challenge, I did two writing projects every day: 1. to write 100 words, and 2. to share my work. While I was unsuccessful in raising money, I wanted to continue to do something.

So I have renewed these in lieu of the Refugee Ban in the USA. Inspired by the-cassandra-project and their Every Day Challenge, I am writing every day to raise money for the Urban Justice Center. You can donate here or please spread the word. Thank you.

Here is a list of Day 1 -- Day 11 with sentence previews:

Day 1: Ice Soul - Ice glitters on her soul.

Day 2: Straw to Gold - Agony twines across the spindle and around the spinning wheel.

Day 3: The Barrier - Golden and red leaves crinkle in the wind.

Day 4: Uncertainty - Fear coils through her stomach, a venomous vine spewing nasty knotted briars

Day 5: Contained Time - Time ached. Every second throbbed with pain, dried out by the depletion of Fortune’s River.

Day 6: Take a Drink - Wind whistles through the trees, sprinkling golden and crimson leaves on the sluggish river.

Day 7: Snow Flowers - Snow plummets down, an arch of fluffy cold crystals, coating the desert with a heavy white blanket.

Day 8: Unlooked for Sweetness - A tantalizing sweetness buffeted the air, coy and floral.

Day 9: Sifting Revision - Thoughts, possibilities, and plots weave together in complex knots.

Day 10: incomputable - Patterns repeat: Flower 1, Flower 2, Flower 3 — scorch, heal, et. al — wood, water, fire…

Day 11: The Winter Ones - Snow poured from a white sky.
