Update and Writing Prompt for January 17

This week has been crazy busy! I am in the middle of writing a couple of grant proposals for my work - although I have written 10,000+ words this week, none of them count towards my own writing goals. Luckily, this will only be for a couple of weeks and then life will settle down again.

Anyway - this is why I haven't been doing my writing prompts. But today's was too irresistible (I haven't tried one of these since High School) so here it is:

Write a Haiku on Reading/Books:

Lost for hours and hours

Curled up in the chaise lounge

With my fav’rit book

A book is a friend

When the rest of the world

Struggles to make sense

In a gift, a book

Appears as if by magic,

Just what I wanted

Reality shows,

Can’t hold a candle to pages

Filled with untold bliss
