Margy, the perfect gift that I found in today's prompt is your image of "thought refraction"" a prism that we can hold up at any moment to see the rainbow in the "irradiated vapor" of a cloud. Every challenging moment in our writing lives -- every #AcWriMoment -- has something beautiful and precious to show us, if only we can refract its light to reveal the patterns we need to see.

I’m so glad that the metaphor makes sense outside my own head (😆) and resonates with you, Helen! 🌈

ooooo, what a lovely reminder of how useful it is to pause and stay rooted in the moment, even when what it has to offer is terribly uncomfortable. This moment is reminding me of the power of regular, sustained interaction with people who care about the same things I do. Thanks Margy!

Thank YOU, Michelle! 💕 I know what you mean about regular, sustained interaction. #AcWriMoments has been reminding me of that this month! I’m going to miss it when it’s over :)

Oh, Margy! What a beautiful prompt! I couldn't help but chuckle at the disintegrating paper bag of groceries in your narrative! I've experienced this one too many times and now always have a reusable bag on me for this purpose! 🤣

I am truly grateful for these #AcWriMoments to write each day for myself, to read others writing, and much like, Michelle, interact in a space with people who care about the same things I do. I hoped for this gift when I signed up and needed the push to create a writing habit. I'm still not consistent every day, but I'm more structured than I was in the months before November, so thank you for this wonderful gift! 🩵💫
