Fear slips through the dark night
Silent and scentless.
Clouds blend into the blackness
of midnight’s canopy,
Unseen,
Unheard,
Until it’s too late.
Morning creeps in
A slumbering entrance
of light,
highlights the shadows,
The stains appear
All too late.

Lee had always wanted a motorbike, his mum didn’t fancy the idea much. They were dangerous machines but George had faith in Lee. He would learn to ride well, Yvonne would see.
Lee slowed down as he approached the bend, carefully leaning with the machine.
George felt for his wife’s hand, he took a moment to catch a glimpse of her haunted face. He inhaled stiffly and squeezed her hand as they walked slowly towards the bend in the road. Without looking at her husband, Yvonne slipped her hand from his, shaking, she placed the flowers at the foot of the oak tree. If only she had put her foot down.

Never underestimate the power of nature,
Watch carefully and you will have your breath
taken away.
A bad day, built up by miniscule
mismatching moments.
Forcing the pieces of the jigsaw to fit
tearing the edges with
ragged passion.
The whole day brought to an abrupt end
as night falls and nature starts to take over.
You are a minute part of this earth,
A bit part,
an understudy.
Consequence of players.
Mother nature does not entertain the thought
we belong here,
Destroying whole cities in one traumatic night
Of true force.
Never once catching sight of her reflection
and letting her thoughts fall out of control.
This is a change – a big (decade birthday) when I felt more about the challenges of time passing than the Birthday Boy.

No animals were harmed in the making of this post.
The first motivation is;
Take some time to think about this or even write out your goals on paper.
I bet one word that comes up for many of us is FUN, make sure you are having some. 
For BELOW-AVERAGE counts; 
If you were busy with life (especially if you were enjoying it – then forgive yourself.)
If you have spent the day in PJ’s watching bad TV, staring at a laptop that’s not even powered up – then forgive yourself!
Yes, you heard me.
FORGIVE & Forget
If you don’t forgive yourself you will hold onto this lack of words, you will label it a failure and that epic fail will set the tone for your camp.
Get out the marsh-mellows, toast some and TOAST yourself – ‘Here’s to tomorrow when I will try to write the suggested word count.’
ETHOS
The whole idea behind NaNoWriMo is to promote writing and get people writing.
As long as you are writing then you have won, whether you make it all the way to 50,000 or not.
Keep going
Keep writing
Keep believing
Keep enjoying
Keep motivating
Keep camping.
Happy writing x
