At Least 100 Words #14

I did mention in previous AL1W’s that I collect pictures of mushrooms. My most favorite are red mushrooms. The red mushroom is a kind of icon for me equal to the sunflower. It was supposed to be the name of my podcast and the name of the company for social media. For example, two people discuss pop culture and other topics as we understand it brought to you by The Red Mushroom Productions.

It sounds like a good idea, until the work is explained. People who said they wanted to collaborate, faded away to their own lives. I was left with a name and possibilities. I do like possibilities; I am an optimist. However, I had to make a choice.

I killed all my other blog accounts, for the JC Henry Universe. There is only the Universe and the Red Mushroom. I tend to be neglectful to both. Since recovery I have not thought about the Red Mushroom productions. In January, my laptop Sterlinq’s screen broke. I was devastated. Being hospitalized changes perspectives. I got a new laptop; I call it Yin. Sterlinq is being fixed. Red Mushroom Productions is not getting the attention it needs to be something. For now, I am feeding the universe. There are the writing quotes that are put up for purely selfish reasons and then these writing projects. This month will mostly be about the prep work for Nanowrimo.

In conclusion I have a stack of things to get through. Rolling up my sleeves right now. Enjoy the red mushroom picture.

Sunday Post #4

Many years ago, I wanted to write a story about a character in a group called the Black Lotus. I looked up the lotus flowers and lilies, their mythologies, and meanings. I downloaded a lot of flower images. I took the flowers- the blue Egyptian lotus, the black princess lotus (actually hot pink), a white lotus and a peach lotus as signatures for my blog accounts. That was before the quickening, where there could only be one.

The Black lotus story never really developed past one page and then there was a fire. It got lost in the ashes. I never got rid of the flowers I liked. I even expanded with tulips, sunflowers, orchids, zinnias and mushrooms. I know mushrooms are not flowers. I started to collect nice pictures of flowers, mushrooms, space and alternate world/alien landscapes. I mostly use the sunflower as my personal icon, my final acceptance of the color yellow. This was over a decade ago. I was making the sunflower famous before the song.

I have yet to decide if the Sunday Post is going to be a review of last week or an optimistic preview of the week ahead, both have their pros and cons. Due to the lack of focus, this entry has been seriously delayed. Last week looked promising almost everything scheduled was posted. The result was a satisfied sense of accomplishment. There are two essays and a review due for this week and there are the writing projects. The week ahead looks promising. There is also one overall goal, that I seriously need to work on for this blog. This week is going to be a lot. But I’m ready for it.
