Day Four: My not so fun Friday

So I am and have been sick since 1am hence no posting! I am still feeling weak but I will try to type something up fun so here I go!

So it's Halloween! That's my favorite holiday. I always dress up, and I have tons of costumes and wigs that I can choose from. Of course, being as sick as I am, I am staying on a mattress pulled out to the living room so I can watch tv with my dad, my husband and my bestie. I have been watching. Haunted History and Ghost Hunters and other shows for for Halloween. I will admit to believing in ghosts myself, though I do not think they are in any way fun. Simultaneously, I am accepting of people, like my husband, that are uncertain.

Watching Paramormal Witness and other shows happens to be pay tradition of my sister and I. In fact, I am recording them for her to watch later. I also do this at my bestie's and watch them at his house where we laugh and have a great time. Especially with Ghost Adventurers where everyone over reacts. It's makes me laugh so hard!!!

Anyway, is not quite a post and my brain is too fuzzy to come up with anything smart to say even though I know there is stuff to be said. I will either add it later or lie myself off the hook. I need to lay back down and shut off the lights. I will hopefully feel better tomorrow and say something smart! 

Day Three: Romantics with a Capital R

So, it is Throwback Thursday. Most would expect a discussion on a throwback video game title, and that is what j will typically do. Throwback games will typically include anything previous to the current two generations, ie nothing that has games made for it currently, but today will be a little different.

I mentioned the Romantics in an earlier past and decided, what v is more of a throwback than the 18th century? The Romantics were. The introduction I needed to get into poetry. My father taught us about them in high school, as he was the English teacher at school, but he also gave me his textbook from college on the Romantics. I was hooked. Soon, my markings mixed with his on the pages as I was enraptured.  The form, the meter, often rhyme! I was,simply put, obsessed.

Famously, the Romantics wrote about nature and the natural world, not just romance. Notice the lower case r there? They resisted industrialization and destruction of the natural world. While they typically kept to strict forms and meter, they had humor, and they could evoke emotions I hope I will one day as others read my works (just read Adonais by Shelley).

So as my lunch comes to a close, feel free to ask me questions

Day Two: Wild Writing

So for my first big post, I want to talk about writing. It is my passion, as many of my friends and family know. Since I was a child, I have been writing poetry and books. I originally started the book writing as to a response of the lack of fantasy writing for children when I was young. Then, it became second nature. Writing poetry came later, but it has quickly evolved into my passion. I writes a poem almost daily, and I would share then here if it wouldn't prevent me from sending them off for publication but there are a lot if weird rules. I write in all types of genres but I tend toward the Romantic (with a capital R), the natural, and of course, fantastical. 

So the question for me is, what makes me write? The true reason that underlies even the original prompt of needing something to read. I am still in the process of discovering the answer to this question, but I am onto something. It is about creation, of holding something in your hands that would not have existed without you. Even when I am stuck, my soul screams for it, and I quickly switch to knitting or drawing for release. It is also about expression, of the self and how one sees the world. I want to show others what I do and why and how and what I see... It can be overwhelming to say the least, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

In fact, when I was diagnosed with bipolar and generalized anxiety with OCD, I was terrified of doing anything about it. My worst fear was that I needed to be the stereotypical tortured artist in order to write and more. I was scared because I had never seen myself as being sick and I was scared of being pigeonholed as a diagnosis. There is a story as to why I took treatment and whatever, but I will save that for if anyone cares to hear it. As for this post, I took the risk and still write. Sometimes it is hard, but I am figuring it out.

I have prompts daily for a 5 year journal. I have prompts from Pinterest and books like this one.

I write every day, even if it is only one word. My soul screams poetic, and I dare not silence it.

Day One: the Christening

So I have planed this blog for almost two years now and am finally getting it started. Here we are, the Daily Momo. I am hopefully going to plan out a new post every day of the week but I am using a phone for posting and it isn't easy! Once I get internet, it will be easier to make better posts but I digress...

This is me! Momo! I am going to be writing about all sorts if things, mostly related to video games and anime and manga and all sorts of nerdy related stuff! I take requests and I will have a while say a week designated for them. Sundays are String Days for crafts! Mondays are Momo Mondays for questions and requests. Tuesdays are...unknown for now. Wednesdays are wild! Then there is Throwback Thursdays and Fun Fridays followed by Sleepy Saturdays! Let's see how this goes! Thanks for supporting me!!! I will post again tomorrow, if I can! And since Wednesdays are wild, who knows what I'm going to talk about!
