Prompt 29 - patterns

I have a 'thing' for patterns ...especially visual ones, patterns in nature, the way fields are ploughed, clouds, the washed up sand on a beach... patterns in architecture, geometric forms.

As I was sitting at my computer, looking out the window in distraction, I pondered the ploughed fields on the hillside opposite. I realised that I had my next 26n prompt.

Play with patterns in your writing. It could be a pattern intended to be seen. It could be a pattern intended to be heard. Or both. Play with patterns in your writing.

Please feel free to take part. If you post your writing on your blog, leave the link in the comments section and at least one of us will be over to read it, all happy that other people are playing along at 26n!

I hope your summer was good! It's good to be back here!

Insert witty title here

As previously mentioned, Na & I are taking a break from posting prompts this month.  But, we didn't want to leave you high and dry, so here's some cracking writing to move and inspire you and maybe give you a kick up whatever appendage you want kickage for to enable you to write like your head is on fire...

In no particular order and chosen by me for it's "MUST READ"ness...

Teething by Matthew Brady Klitsch at The Dirty Napkin

Stamp a Little Thankfulness by Jo Gatford (I know her :-)) at Everyday Genius

In the Duck Light by Jo Gatford (yeah, her again, just read her, she's good) at Pank

Gestures by Megan Roberts at Smokelong

Leaving the Garden by Steve Ramey (I know him too, what can I say, I rub binary digits with the cool and talented) at Journal of Compressed Creative Arts

Plus, a fabulous blog I discovered recently...Danielle Davis

And, a book recommendation!  Maira Kelman's The Principles of Uncertainty which started life as a column for the New York Times.

Ok, I think you've got enough to keep you going for a couple of weeks.  Enjoy!
