Welcome May Open thread 2025

  

 Come what May our works are in progress.  Summer is near as the days get warmer and the mornings are best here before you get to work.  May it be a productive day!

We writers keep a note pad or idea box wherever we go.   If something is said in a certain way, it is also written down for possible later use.  While scientists have "Labs"  I call the world around me

 my "Lab."

   

Moments when we have that dreaded writer's block,  and the page is
just staring at you

Think outside the box, read someone else's work, a book, take 

a walk, go to a festival. I hear the Renaissance Festivals are in full swing now.

Don't worry about the critiques, there are good ones and terrible ones, but some
where you least expect it from. 

Remember your creativity is yours alone

May you create to the best of your ability.

Some projects take a lot of time

For the Star Wars Fanatics this month or 

forever be one with the Force.  

Let the story simmer some more

To create a strong ending

Be who you are, all the time and creativity   
It will set you free.

Dream, reflect and tap into that subconsciousness

Be eccentric, be you

All great works of art take time on their path.  Stay on the path,

Remember, it is your story, your work of art. 

Spend a time with us for tea or coffee,

whichever is your fancy!  Try something new

and different, outside your element to empower yourself.

Let it pour from the brush or 

the pen, be in your element.   Great projects take time, late nights, revisions, looking for the right angle of the project, to repaintings, reconstructions for others to enjoy. Be you, stay creative!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: SUNSHINE SAM GINGER SNAP COOKIES

SUNSHINE SAM GINGER SNAP COOKIES

By Lisa Starr

www.lisa-starr.com

Ingredients:

2/3 cup canola oil

1 cup sugar

1 egg

¼ cup golden syrup* or date syrup

2 1/2 to 3 cups flour

2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

1 heaped teaspoon cinnamon

1 heaped teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon cocoa

½ to ¾  teaspoon salt (Maldon all the way)

Extra sugar for rolling

* If Golden syrup is challenging to find. I successfully substitute pancake syrup from the supermarket in its place.

Directions:

1: Beat the oil and sugar together till well mixed then add the egg and syrup and beat again.

2: Combine the flour, baking soda, spices, cocoa and salt together and slowly mix into the oil/sugar to make a soft dough. Start with two cups and then add extra as needed so that it's not sticky.

3: Roll dough into balls, roll each ball in sugar, then place on baking tray and bake at 180 C for approximately 15 minutes till slightly cracked on top. I like to take these out when still soft as they firm up when they cool and are so chewy that way.

ENJOY !
