Here is the prompt I used for inspiration.

I'm being cheeky with this Haiku. Camellia sinensis is a shrub with white flowers from which we get tea leaves.

Enjoy this wonderful, relaxing music while I tell you about this year’s 30 Days of Haiga project.

Haiga is Haiku paired with an image. This year, I have rainbow scratch paper and am challenging myself to create my Haiga with a picture I draw. My drawing talent may be similar to that of a six-year-old using their non-dominant hand, but creating my own picture uses different areas of my brain than creating a Haiga using a photograph and a photo manipulation program. I intend to utilize both techniques this year.

As of this writing, I’ve been participating in the 30 Days of Haiga challenge for ten years. However, the challenge was not my brainchild. As far as I know, it was created by Rick Daddario of the 19 Planets Art Blog.

The challenge is very special to me, and I will probably continue doing it until I can’t anymore.  


Enjoy this ambient mix.

This Halloween ambience is pretty much the best music for writing anything ever.

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible.
