Today Starts the Last 2 Days of the Name Your Number Writing Challenge.
It’s NOT too late to join in! Just Name Your Number (for the remainder of the month)! See below for details.
YOU name the Number of Posts!
My number is 22. Why? There are 22 workdays in January. I’m taking the weekends off to catch my breath, or catch up! I am going to write a post each of those workdays, for a total of 22 posts. (I will sometimes use the weekends to get a post or two ahead so that I’m not under the gun every day)
22 is my number. What’s yours?

Clear Vision
Stumbling through life my sins and appetites led me I chose the wrong path always I lived in a world where no Gods exist Until my vision cleared I saw no other way Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson #Name Your Number Challenge Click here for info and to join in!
Also written for Reena’s exploration challenge using the phrase “You live in a world where no Gods exist.”
The Mirror
Looking in the mirror, I have finally gotten to the point where I don’t see the excess weight as often. I don’t worry so much about the lines around my eyes. I’ve come to like the streaks of silver in my hair. These days, I more often reflect on what’s inside. I know that I am more patient today than I used to be. I see the value in friendships, relationships and gestures of kindness. I’ve slowed down, not only on the outside, but inside too. I’m much more content to spend time listening to the world around me. I savor the sunrises and sunsets. With the road ahead of me now shorter than the road behind me, finally, finally, I can love the image reflected in the mirror.

Taking On the World
I can't unlove the most vital role in my life This life would have been lost without you Letting you go left me spiritless When I dream I still see you and I taking on this world together In my next life I pray we find each other Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson #Name Your Number Challenge Click here for info and to join in!
Writing-The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Hosting this Challenge this month has taught me to really appreciate those that do this on a regular basis. It takes a lot more time and dedication than I realized.
With this particular Challenge, I challenged myself to write a new post 22 times in January. So far, I’m on target. BUT, not everything that I’ve written has been a winner. In my humble opinion, a few were real stinkers. 🙂
People say that to write and write well, you must write a Lot. The more you write, the better you will get at it.
What do you think? Is writing like exercising? You have to use it or lose it? Do you “practice” writing?

No Choice
Forcing the pen into my hand and the paper thrust at me, I had to write it.
I tried to pull away but could not break free from the compulsion.
The obsession.
The constant barrage of images, teasers, and daily prompts would not let me be.
My Taskmaster has me lying awake, sleepless nights, with verbiage arranged and rearranged in my head.
I’m helpless.
I have no choice but to write.
