Where Have You Been?

The Blog Tour Award

Martha Frant over at https://martafrant.wordpress.com/ nominated me, The False Prophet, for this highly intriguing award. I will have to pass this on to four others, because that are the rules. Rules are rules, be they in a holy book or law book, they are rules. Some I follow, some I don’t. I’ll follow these to set a good example for my successors. Luckily I do not have to die first to be able to pass it on.

My nominees are:

1. Lauren over at https://cremedelauren.wordpress.com/ because I hold her dear.
2. Al over at https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/ because his poetry is inspiring for kids and grown-ups.
3. Miss Kick-Ass over at https://princesskickass.wordpress.com/ because she hates Mondays and wants to tell them to F off.
4. Nu Tenshi over at https://thegirlinaconverse.wordpress.com/ because I think she should write more and more often.

Please post your story on Monday 1 June. What a way to start a month!? The rules for this award can be found below.

1. How does my work differ from others in my genre?

I am a genre onto itself
Therefore there are no others
I don’t differ either
I like being the same
Therefore there are no others

I say that what has been written before
Maybe I use different words
Nonetheless, it’s not new
But it might be new to you
Just as all the same

2. How does my writing/creative process work?

It doesn’t
It has been broken for many a year now.
I’m still waiting for a deity
To come and fix my creativity.

3. Why do I write or create what I do?

That is a good question
To which I hold no answer
It might be there
But I can’t see where
All I know is that

We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams

Let me muse upon it further

4. What am I working on at the moment?

There’s stuff to write
Stuff to read
There’s stuff to do
Stuff to hear
There’s just so much stuff
That I had to take a break
But I’m back and worse than ever
I’m back
But I’ve never left
Being who I am
The False Prophet

Here’s my post for this Monday. As I was on holiday, let me start by asking myself and the reader: Where Have You Been?

Have you had your meals today
Have you heard your favourite song
Have you asked your local newsstand what has been going on
Where have you been

Have you tried the new cafe
Have you heard about the trout
Have you seen the local newsstand that you knew nothing about
Where have you been

Does your father make your meals
Does your mother wash your skin
Does life make you feel lonely and wonder where you have been
Where have you been

Does it seem worthwhile to you
Does it look like a cosy spot
Does it conjure up curtain thoughts of what is hot and what is not
Where have you been

When have you last seen the sun
When have you last seen the moon
Will you ever walk the earth, but is today just too soon
Where have you been

Thanks to Martha!

And the rules are:

1. Pass the tour on up to four other bloggers.
2. Give your nominees the rules and a specific Monday to post (please, post your story on Monday May 11, 2015 or let your followers know when you post).
3. Answer four questions about your creative process which lets other bloggers and visitors know what inspires you to do what you do.
   • How does my work differ from others in my genre?
   • How does my writing/creative process work?
   • Why do I write or create what I do?
   • What I’m working on at the moment?
4. Compose a one-time post on a specific Monday (date given from your nominator) — my post is scheduled for April 27, 2015.

Have a prophet-able Day
