    I hope everyone is beginning their week productively and in good spirits.
    This past weekend I decided to completely challenge myself and anyone else who would like to accept.
    I am going to attept to post 300 BLOGS IN 20 DAYS. I know it seems crazy but this is something that I need to do for myself. I want all of you to stop by http://trinalynnethewriter.blogspot.com and show love by supporting my efforts to achieve this goal.
     If you are a blogger, give your readers a real treat by accepting the challenge to do 300 BLOGS IN 20 DAYS. There is no prize for the challenge, but just a chance to push yourself to your full potential. Allow your creativity to explode with ideas.
    I will number each blog within the 300 blog challenge to allow everyone to calculate the days that it takes once I begin. If anyone decides to take the challenge I ask that you number yours too.
    Stayed Tuned This Week For The Date I Will Be Starting.
    Until then,
    TrinaLynne

    Email me: trinalynnethewriter@hotmail.com to let me know if you are accepting the challenge. Please include the url for your blog so that I may support you as well.

    Hi Shon,

    What would it take to get you to look at some very amateur writings of mine and do a critique?
    There are a few storeys it would be nice to get down on paper and I'd love for you to do a critique for starters and am or would be your most humble and attentive listener/student.
    Hope all is well in your life. As for me it is pretty good, spend considerable time reading about everything, writing letters and always making new contacts with whom there is a mutual interest in some thing or other.

    Hope you are having a great day,

    Desmond

    Sunset Out My Window
    Alone at sunset with Luther singing, “I thought about cha..”
    I chase so many thoughts of you, my heart races
    Sun redden pillow clouds, and a few stars start to shine through, framing your beauty
    You got a halo
    Staring out my window, sunset and you, reflect in my future
    As God, and you are the sunrise of my life, and a first kiss, my first taste of life, as my feet hit the ground
    I wait for you
    Smiles of thoughts of you ring on the hour on
    Knowing you will be here later just after the sun has hid
    I have dinner ready
    I have our humble abode fit for the royalty we are
    I see you walk through the door
    We slow dance, holding still
    Earth Wind & Fire sings, “Be Ever Wonderful”
    We share a human glass of intoxicating kisses
    No longer alone
    We make our own sunset
