Request: Icon maker instructions

I would like to try my hand at making DW icons (for 3weeks4dreamwidth). Can anyone point me in the direction of a simple (and free) tutorial/instructions/guide/tips on how to do this?

My poem: On the Fridge Door

On the Fridge Door by okapi

Everything, I reply automatically, as I wipe the sink, scooping up the

bits of regurgitated dinner the dishwasher refuses to

digest, my worth, my body, my sanity, my ambition, my money, even my name.

I’ve lost everything. But as I take the four steps from the trash bin back to

the sink, I spot Degas’ Little Dancer and Wyeth’s Open Window.

There is Hamlet, of all things. And cross-hatched Holmes and Watson. There is

Consider the Possible Consequences if You are Careless in Your Work!

And a chihuahua in a devil costume asking: Were you expecting

Little Red Riding Dog? There are redwoods. There is a French woman

playing golf. There is a saint whose name and function I can’t

remember (lost items or lost causes). There is Hope on the Street.  

Among the schedules and the calendars and the year after

year (after year) of photos of numbered uniforms, among the potential

playdates and the 911 reminders.  

Oh, I realize, there I am.

I used a Random Question Generator to create this list: https://randomwordgenerator.com/question.php

Day 1/25 APR. What have you been thinking about lately that has kept you up at night?

I tend to think about my fic or potential fic universes. At the moment, I am contemplating a new BTS Omegaverse soap opera. One involves an Alpah-for-hire agency and Alphas Namjoon, Yoongi, and Jungkook meet a house of Omegas Seokjin, Hoseok, and Jimin and Taehyung. Yoongi has mild OCD. Hoseok is a pregnancy surrogate. Seokjin is overwhelmed by a broken hand and a failing bakery. Namjoon is a professional cuddler who is afraid to try to get his novel published. Taehyung and Jimin are mated. Jungkook has ADHD. The house is Seokjin's inherited from his father but what he doesn't realize is that there's a treasure hidden inside it. Cue found family finding the treasure and living happily ever after. Like Goonies but Korean and Omegaverse and relationship drama. The other one is a Rear Window story where Omega Yoongi has a broken leg and Alpha Jungkook is the home health nurse assigned to him and Yoongi takes up birdwatching and sees something sinister from his balcony. I imagine/fantasize about different scenes from those fic worlds.

I also fantasize in my imaginary friends Golden Girls-type world. These are an imaginary group of Korean ARMY friends I belong to, and we do ARMY things together. And have zany Golden Girl type adventures. Like organizing a surprise birthday party. Or swimming in the ocean and having to get part of my leg amputated because a sea creature attaches to my calf. Or competing in an elderly triathlon. [It does sound strange when I write it out]

Sometimes, I think about death, and what will happen and what is on the other side of this life. That has a tendency to keep me up! Anxiety about if we will have enough money to pay our bills as we grow older also keeps me up!
