Change of Season: Spring Dreams Seasonal Reads Program on Undawnted until May 31st

The Earth and all her creatures have awakened from their hibernation. 

The wind has turned warm. Butterflies flutter around. Bees buzz. Flowers bloom and scent the air with the fragrance of rich nectar.

The day grows longer towards summer time. Spring fever has set your senses to wild.

How do you return from cloud nine? Why, read, of course! 

Join our Spring Dreams! 

 

The Hero's Journey: The Threshold to Adventure

It's summer time. 

The Threshold to Adventure is right before you. What will you choose? A vacation to a destination you have never been before? To serve your country? Take a position at another company? Or, to begin college for the first time?

Humanity is on a constant quest in the hero's journey of our lives. Each step is as personal and unique as the last. Since the individual is the ultimate minority, we face our challenges in this life as a species as interlocking singular modules connecting into the next one and future generations. 

So what is your Call to Adventure? What Threshold to do you stand before? 

It's summer... take that first step.

 

 

Special Engagements Now Rotates with the Seasons

Just as Undawnted's Seasonal Reads Program changes from season to season, we have added our Special Engagements to this rotation. 

This combination helps with our seasonal theme and mythology. For instance, this winter's seasonal reads program is Winter Frost with our snowman. 

It's that time of year to bring in some cheer! 

Undawnted keeps the cold and dark nights warm with novels and poetry.

The complimentary imagery of a smaller snowman icon highlights the change of season to our newest addition: Special Engagements and keeps it in line with the rest of our site. 

We hope this navigation is a lot more fluid than before. We know people are more visual on their devices so items like our images will be easier to find for those looking to read, write, or learn with us! 

Creative writing is more than a movie script or image, writing is about taking the world around you, ingesting the nuances, and repackaging the real into the surreal.

We hope you have fun with our creative writing, readings, and special engagements.

Have a great and wonderful day!

Summertime Blues

With the heat outside during the day and the mosquitoes at night, I have cabin fever. 

I still go out and do my chores, but once the heat or bites take over, it's time to hide away in the comfort of the air conditioning. That is why I have been in nonstop research mode. I hope all this reading and note taking pays off with great new articles and essays for me to publish. 

Right now, 2017 looks better than our inaugural year! 

So that is how I am beating the summertime blues: keeping myself occupied by laying the foundations for a better future. 

Have a great and wonderful day!
