Thinking and Pondering #1

Blog Hop: Thinking on Thursday - Pondering With A Purpose

I am really looking forward to this new blog hop hosted by Brenda of Fiction With A Purpose. If you're a writer and/or a blog hopper, you'll want to check this one out and hop right along. Each week, Brenda gives us a writing prompt and we post our submission on our blogs, then, of course, add our post URL to the linky list on her prompt post.

This week's prompt: Word Association: from the list provided, select 3 of them and tell me what they mean to you.

My 3 words: riding, embedding, landscape. I chose to write a piece of flash fiction. In actuality, it's more like factual reality, as I do visualize this on occasion!

Yearning for the oceanic landscape, I fantasize horseback riding the foot of the foam of the sea. I imagine the strength of animal and wave allowing me to escape reality.

With a subtle kick of my heels, my imaginary horse clicks his in tandem, and off we soar along the seashore. We're one with the ocean's roar, spirits in fine fettle -- blessed by the warming rays of a bit o' sunshine.

The salty balm of the breeze of the beach soothes my soul, embedding the fantastical scene in my mind's eye. Forevermore.

Hmmm... wondering if I should purchase myself a pair of these phantastical Horse Heels to go with my fantasy...
 

Yay or Nay?

Do you Squidoo?

If you do Squidoo I'd like to hear from you!

You can comment here to this blog post or better yet - write up a blog post of your own and post the link here in a comment and I'll visit your blog post AND your Squidoo posts.

About a year ago I signed up at Squidoo and just never made the time to do anything with it. Recently, as I began taking earning online a bit more seriously (out of necessity) I decided to give Squidoo a try. Of course, I was unable to even figure out my previous sign-up, so I registered all over again.

For those of you who do not yet Squidoo, here's my referral link--yes, referrals aid in increasing earnings at Squidoo! Let me know when you post your first lens and I'll stop by to view and comment. (Networking works if we work at it!)

I have created three (3) lenses at Squidoo thus far:

Poetic Creations by abitosunshine! -- This was my first lens and is about my shop at CafePress, where I combine my poetry and graphic design work.

The Queen *itch of abitosunshine! -- No, not about me, it's what they call a SquidPaws lens and it's about my canine companion, Tidbit.

Ghost Words And Other Echoes -- This is my first SquidLit lens. It's a book review and author interview.

I'm pretty pleased with getting all three of these lenses created this week! I am determined to master the art of creating Squidoo lenses and making money by doing so.

If you have any Squidoo tips to share, please do!
