#WritersCoffeeclub Day 7What’s gone downhill with your writing process? First and foremost, time. Too few hours in the day, too much to do, including writing. Second, health. Third, thinking no one reads and no one cares. Imposter syndrome. I have to push through that. #writing #writingcommunity

Who is in control of the story? The author or the character within? #blog #writing #writingcommunity #sifaswriting #poetry e8thespresso.blogspot.com/2026/01/poem... sifasevenwriting.wordpress.com/2026/01/07/p...

A blizzard howls over the #snowfire #camp and the flurries threaten to snuff out the flames huddle together for warmth and pray for rescue #BSPP49 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Ice #crystal #brows over blue eyes they have seen much wrinkles in a youthful face too many winters the chill has never quite left the bones for there is still warmth within #BSPP49 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

The old woman in the mirror I am #spooked by what I see where did this white hair come from? #vss365 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

A #symphony of sound music fills the theatre let it take you away to a world of imagining at least for a little while. #vss365 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

#embark on an adventure what will happen next not safe or predictable some hang onto their thoughts but if you open your mind you can broaden your horizons. #vssdaily #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

A #passport to other lands other ways of thinking seeing and feeling broaden your horizons that all sounds so cliche but it's quite important now more than ever #vssdaily #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Wolf moon, plum-bright so succulent to hold close then day changes all #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #writing #writingcommunity @sifaswriting.bsky.social

A lack of literacy just scan the surface and react with emotion #scrapping #subtext to rile up others for a cause that really isn't justified but the numbers are entertaining #firewords280 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

they make you feel bad these #cockamamie #compunctions to feel ashamed for imaginary sins for not living up to their arbitrary rules it's not a matter of moral character it's a need for control. #firewords280 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

They say #dream #big shoot for the stars but no one ever counts on the laws of physics and the viciousness of gravity that tugs on your heels #OurPoetryX #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

When there is #balance #life flows smoother around roadblocks and follows the grooves of the path ahead too much one way makes the trip even harder #OurPoetryX #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

NORTH: WOLF MOON first full one this month the #wolfmoon high in the sky so pause and reflect South: PLUM #plum blossom flowers burst of colour in her hair and spring will come soon #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

North: FIELD flowers in the #field and the bees hum happily honey for the hive South: COOKOUT the meat on the grill children play in the backyard come to the #cookout #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

No matter how you slice it evil is not #justified except in its own mind it will continue to fester and grow until the balance tips over into disharmony #emoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

A #melancholic tune mourning what was celebrating what will be it's the uncertainty between the two that is the frightening part #emoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

The dawn's #firstlight touched the horizon, and a new year had begun. The villages greeted the dawn with a sigh of relief. The kingdom had a chance to last the year. The Gods rolled the dice. Again, the results were high enough to forestall the apocalypse. They were pleased. #vssfantasy #writing

After the long winter, the land revived itself for spring. The #awakening involved a burst of new growth on the trees. The birds returned, the flowers greeted the sun. This was different. For Nature was recovering after a long sleep, now unhindered by the folly of Man. #vssfantasy #writing

New Year New Streams! Duo streams resume in 90 minutes! Let's see the end of FFXIV's latest raid series!

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I still love this one lol #art #ffxiv

First short story posted in three months. "The Headless Writer", a longer version of my response to the #horrorwritingprompt from @pgpayt.bsky.social and @fhpowellwriter.bsky.social. The Coffeehouse is my prose blog. Check it out! 😁 e8thespressowriting.blogspot.com/2026/01/writ... #writing

Walk the #snowbound #path the mountain beckons as you journey round and round in a spiral encircling the tor the scenery seems the same but if you look carefully the view is different with each rotation #BSPP49 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

It's a new year so I will #start #fresh wipe the slate clean but certain debts refuse to be washed away Like a jealous moneylender my soul still clings to old hurts, old rivalries not everything is willing to forgive and forget something to work on #OurPoetryX #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Beware #the #headless #writer. They sit at their computer and write a story that never ends. When you enter the room, their eyes stare at you from a detached head on their desk. Those eyes know your every secret and their fingers automatically writes them on their screen. #horrorprompt #writing

"I #resolve to do what's best for the kingdom..." It was an empty promise, and all the nobility knew it. For the new king thought that that himself and kingdom were one and the same. A despot and not a just ruler. Rebellion seethed through the ranks. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

Am I the #oddball because I try to see the bigger picture and use both logic and feelings to wade through the chaos? I must be because no one seems to care about anyone's feelings but their own and that's sad. #vss365 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity
