Velvet Verbosity

In the morning we lay in my bed bonelessly entwined, breathing each other’s breath as we talked in that inaniloquent way of lovers. You laughed when I told you how Maria had called the snowdrifts pressing against the windows snow elephants. These were the incidentals we turned into treasure chests, the words in which we [...]

Is it seriously FRIDAY already? I never meant for this week to get away from me like this, without even so much as an update on Twitter or Facebook for y’all. I’ll be honest, I have been glued to the news, the social media networks, the Youtube, and in some cases to the street itself [...]

Welcome to the “new” Velvet Verbosity site. Not sure yet if it will be temporary. As those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook know, my site was hacked and was sending out spam to people as well as causing some visitors to get a warning that the site was infected with malware [...]

Alrighty then… If you’re not following me on Facebook or Twitter then you missed the explanation of how I blew it last week. I had a work report I had to get out and I ended up pulling an all-nighter (less because of a deadline and more because I was on a roll) which threw [...]

Week One Check-In If you’d like to share your thoughts or experiences from Week One on your blog I’ve provided the linky-tool along with the blog-hop so we can all stay connected during this process. How many days this week did you do your morning pages? How was the experience for you? Did you do [...]

Let’s Get This Party Started Let me just be honest for a moment. I find it very hard to commit to things, so this is a HUGE thing for me to take this on. My hope is that by being “responsible”, if you will, for keeping this going all the way through the 12 weeks [...]

My take on this week’s 100 word challenge. The photo didn’t seem to fit, and yet my mind kept returning to it. Perhaps it is the tendrils so beautiful in the depths, yet when we look to the surface of the water they are invisible to us. Delicately A small crowd gathers to listen to [...]
