Hi I am back. My cold I almost gone. Wow, how bad I felt last week, and I had so many plans. But not the energy to do it.
But yesterday I start my new 30 days. I scanned my baby photo, it is for Florabelle's, have to transport it, our scanner is connected with our windows 98 pc without Internet. Our HP scanner could not be connected with our HP XP pc. Odd???????????????????????????????????
Oh yes buy soft where 30 dollars, no way, I have other ways to transport it. The old pc has now a new monitor and a keyboard, looks good now. I think I have all I need at the new room.
This week I will make a finger painting, was for Florabelle's as well, so I will do two groups in once. I just had a quick look at the main page and saw a lot of lovely things. If your a few days off, lots of things happens. I think to make an other soulcard. About a Dutch entertainer, he was more than that.
He, Jos, died last week from cancer, which was just determined a month ago. I saw a few programs about him, and I learned a lot about who he was. He "speaks to me so now and than the last few days". So I will make him a card. He was one of the very good persons.
A few years ago I wanted to ask him if he wanted to make spoken child stories of mine. He did it him self once. It was a good speaker. I was told to do it through his management. I thought yuk, who knows who is reading my post. So I didn't. Just a month ago I saw those papers again and thought in September I give it new try. Sadly not. I will write his husband a letter, I now I have to do that.
Jos wrote 40 books, was a very good painter, a good man.
This week I am going to dive in my stories. Sub Rosa means keep secrecy. I think I have a story that fits.
This is my Day 2 I guess, journaling is being creative as well.......?;-(). Or not...? If some one thinks blogging isn't being creative, let me know........ :--).
Love and hugs, Rita

Day 27 and 28 and 29
Day 27 Wednesday.
I wrote a note for Didi’s teacher, with the theme of the book week. So I hope I get an answer soon. I am thinking about a story I have written before as I told; just have to think about that.
I already was thinking what I can write beside that story. A book full of secrets and it is for children. That other story I had written for this a few years ago the theme was deep in the dark woods, I made a story about a boy and a dog, Little Johnny and Noodles, and I wrote it from the dogs point of view. And the funny thing is, I wrote more stories about both. And made illustration for those stories. I wrote other kids stories with follow ups, seems to work for me, ashamed I stopped writing............
Day 28 Thursday
Hope to get more done in a short while. First week of the kids school is almost over, so a little routine is there again. Hope it will be a good year for me, I really hope so. I have lots of things that need to be looked over, editing and more................ I want to draw and paint a bit. So a lot of plans. Joined an other group here, so I see what it all brings me. Till now CCS had brought me a lot of good things. Thank you Dan.
Day 29 Friday
Aha jus one day to go...... I didn't write or paint or draw that much, although journaling is writing as well :-o) I have been busy with collecting prompts and ideas. Got nice CCS-friends, so again CCS gave me a lot of good things. After tomorrow I will start over again that's a promise. I have to put my who am I here and my polished haiku................................
The theme is good this year so I may think about it what I am going to do, that book week thing. He didn't know, Didi's teacher what, Sub Rosa mend in this theme. I might have a look at the internet next week.
I invited others to join so I wait and see if they will join us. The CCS. I hope it will grow very large. Sorry Dan, that I put you on a statue, but I want you to have a lot of members. And I mean when I say CCS brought me a lot of good things.
See you at day 30.
Love and Hugs

Day 26
Day 26: wednesday
Thanks for the birthday wishes. This day I asked my Didi teacher if they do something about the "kinderboekenweek". Eeeehhhhh? Children book week, from 3 till 13 October. I was learned a week has 7 days.......? LOL. Went to the internet to search for the theme.
A few years ago I wrote a kids story for Didi's class. The theme is Sub Rosa - A book full with secrets. Thinking what I could make of it. I do have a story, two, the second was a follow up, done for that American group I was in, that fits the theme. If the teacher thinks it isn't right, okay, otherwise I have to translate it into Dutch, or write a new one.
You know while I write about that writing group I remember I wrote a story with a bit light erotic swing at the end. Very neat, left it all to the readers what might or might not happened, not one dirty word I used, not one four-letter-word or obscenity in it. Result, some of them say well for you to write about this subject. Others blocked my email address for mail after that. A non-American and not even a senior, it was a group for senior writers I was invited into, writing such a story. (I know what you are going to ask now.........................)
I never thought I would make it to this day, but I'll will go on.
BIW is Book In Week

If you go there you will read it all, I can't explain it better.
See you at day 27.

Day 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 & 25
I am behind in blogging, oeps bad thing..... LOL. I see how far I will be before I have to go and get my kiddie from school. Boeeeeehhhh today I am a year older again.............
Day 21: Friday
I have written 2 pages for the BIW, 4 pages at that moment, so not bad. My room is finished, all is in it, what I wanted, just a few extras and it is mine. In the glassed verandah I could write as well, but it is the doorway to the garage so not really mine.
Day 22: Saterday
Weekends are just limited of doing anything, because everyone is at home. But I always try to pick up something, a word or an article.
By putting al my writing stuff in place I found old clipping I saved 2 years ago, which I going to use again.
Day 23: Sunday
Hurray tomorrow my new time-table starts. Just doing the usual thing, collecting things, try to make a poem, it is still in my head. Must write it down, soon before it is gone.
Day 24: Monday.
Oh my I thought new time-table, my oh my I am so tired. Bring kiddie to school, working at a different time as usual, because of family matters. Do more cleaning work in the house as I do during the holidays, poe eeh. I noticed I watch my favorite soap, As The World Turns, differently as usual. Just like a few years ago, I hear words or things I never uses. My son asked what is "wily"? It is smart, clever. I never heard of wily, so I keep that one in.
I install my French course........ See what that brings.
Day 25 Tuesday
What brings today? Putting all my courses in order and sorting out which one to do first. My childhood experience and one about journaling and put your emotion dawn, so I might use a lot of that in future stories, still tired, I guess it is just a matter of time to get in my new routine, shall make some photos and put them here, as my Rasmussen writing I really have to put that on paper as well.
Try to keep up sooner now,
Love hugs,
Rita

Day 18 and Day 19 and Day 20
Day 18 Tuesday:
No writing done, boeh........ I am still busy with my room, cleaning my new crea room. Demolish a bed makes a room messy. Still sorting out the things I want to have in that room. And I am still finding old stuff I can use now to write. Some good ideas I think. Been doing some collaging, put some photos together with other who where already at a special board, it takes a lot of looking to get them well together. If it is all finished I shall make some photos and put them here.
Day 19 Wednesday:
Today is still making all the things neat again, sort all things out. Today we are going to look for furniture. A desk, a table and a cupboard. Curtains. Woohoo, I got my things, a big desk table, PC-desk, and a cupboard in acorn, don’t know the English word, also some nice vases and candle holders in soft pink, put some photos from friends out of France, nice smelling incense. My hubby was grumping while he had to put all the things together one more cupboard to go. I have all by hand tea, coffee wine for now and than, so I don’t have to go downstairs every time. Still gathering ideas. Hope next week I can make a start of really doing and working with them. I am looking forward doing that..... so be aware next week................ Put some photo at the wall from France, once I know I had a lot of fun that day, the woman at it is full of energy and inspires me.
Day 20:
My crea room looks even better, some extra things in it, little angels. The last cupboard and than I can finish it. I went to a box with all my writing papers. I found some Idea clippings and other things. Yesterday I bought five little cuddling horses for my youngest. Was on sale. We decided to write a story about the horses, I have to do a bit research, the horses had a tag with a name and what kind of horse it is. We have already changed names. It will be a kids story, but a bit good information is good I guess.
My daughter like to draw a lot, horses are her favourites, how come......... An other page done for the BIW. Next time I'll do better. But I entered because you have a limit of times you have to be in throughout the year.
I just have two days more....... So who knows how many words more I write. Monday it is school time for the kids again, so a whole different time table than. More regular.
Happy weekend and see you next week,
Love and Hugs,
Rita
P.s. I ended up with two pages so not bad, 4 pages, and 6 more to go, 3 a day, is not bad at all, so now I end with 502 words, not bad I think. Woohoo, good girl……;-)

Day 15 and Day 16 and Day 17
Hi I am here.
Day 15
Another three new days.
Saturday we where with friends. I showed my friend this side, invited her. So I hope she will join us later.......... So not much time to do much. I did some gathering again. Still going through old papers and still finding a lot of ideas I jotted down a few years ago. Like: Disco Ducks/Mafia Ducks........? I bought 5 very nice duckies in sparkling colors, and they just look gorgeous and my kids where playing mafia ducks with them as well disco ducks........
So I put it in my new ideas file again in my big agenda where I keep track again of all I am doing. Projects I do, my Didi, youngest one, editing, translation............... and so on. This is in my project file as well, this challenge. I am so happy to be back in this.
Day 16
Sunday was a very hot and dampy day. So no much to do. I was thinking what to write for my BIW challenge this week. Normally I was writing stories for the group I joined than. So I had two things I could do at once. Since the group "died" I didn't wrote any more. Some poetry, but not more than that. So my head is still spinning around my creativity.
Day 17
Monday kids are still home here, just an other week. I had just an grrrrrr..... moment. Carpet for Didi's new room won’t be here before August 22. I hope to be in my room, Didi's old one some where next week....... What I did today................................. I put her mattress in her new room, she will get a new bed as well, demolished her old bed. Got ride of all my frustration by doing this............ So now a new table, one cupboard, some nice things.... And I am ready. I already had put most of my things there. So I was doing my creative thing..... ;-)
And I joined CCS newest group, forgive me that I didn't remember the name....oeps, but it's June's group about painting.
This will be used as well for my word count for my BIW challenge, blogging is writing as well I think. I print it and save it, with comments as well, as a journal, so it counts. Yep.
Forgive me if there are grammar mistakes, sometimes it is stupidity. Sometimes just didn't do a check up.............
Again I give myself a patch on the shoulder to make it till day 17 already.
Love and hugs, see you with day 18,
Rita.
PS. I did well for my BIW with this: 473 words, well done girl. HAH
Just an other starter of a new story and I have 2 pages = 500 words done for today. But I did do my 375 already for today. YOEHOE……...!

Day 14
Hello here is my Card.
Here is my Rasmussen Card. My written part will be here later, but I thought let I post the photo now. The man at the left is Rasmussen. I think it became a very good card.
I must sit down and write, but it is too fussy to do so. And he wants to tell me a lot. You know when he was taken out of the tour, I felt how he must felt than, I felt his pain, tears, his doubt.
I felt connected with him. Apart from what happened, but just as human been. When I put my written part, it will be all more clear I guess.
I did the usual things, collecting all things I can use. And lately I look different to people, I look and listen well there might be something I can use.
Love and hugs, Rita.

Day 12 and Day 13
Day 12 and Day 13
Aha August is here.
Another 2 weeks and my kids are going back to school. Gives me more time to write, to be more creative. But I am still collecting all I want to use. An other name ....... Loebieboeboe.......? For a pet? Nick name? It called out to me, so I jotted it down.
I am still looking between my things I want to have in my new room, my stories, both finished and unfinished. E-courses I want to do, the first one I want to do is ~healing my childhood experience I had a brief look into it, and I saw some things what could have been written for me. I know some blocks are coming from there. So this is the place to start I guess. My color pencils and more like that. Of course my laptop and those kind of things. So I have a place to write or do anything and can let it at the table if I have to do something else........
And I am going to learn French, hahahaha, at least I going to try......... Shall keep you all up-to-date with my things.
I signed in for a writing goal as member of the Yahoo-group BIW, once a month you write for a week. In the group you make a goal of how much pages you will write. I will do 10 pages = 10 x 250 words (is on page) : 7= 358 words per day, so if I can do 375 each day it will be a bit over 10 pages. It is from Monday 6 to Sunday 12. Have to check in 3 times that week, and mail your final pages, and when you don't reach your goal, next time better. Lately I didn't write any thing, a few little poems, nothing more. I really want to be back in writing.
I know I will have to work hard for my life change. But I have too. I know I have too. The way I am at now is the wrong road. I have to get back to the right way.........
Tonight I will scan my Rasmussen Card, maybe this afternoon, so it might be at my blog later today or maybe tomorrow. Not yet the written part. But it will be there soon. 'Rasmussen' is screaming out to me, he wants to tell me so much. People familiar with the SoulCollage® Card process know what I mean.
Love and hugs, Rita
P.S. I totally forgotten to start my one sentence journal at the first, so I will start later.
P.P.S.S Shall share some more thing I am doing with you tomorrow.
P.P.P.S.S.S. Do you know when I re-read my own stories something I think: WOW did I write this, not bad at all. I really amaze myself, sometimes. ;-)

And I found some old things wich I like to use again..............
Love and hugs,
Rita.

And I found some old things wich I like to use again..............
Love and hugs,
Rita.
