Outside cues always help

Tonight we have been deluged with rain and lightning. The power went out for several long hours of little information getting to me at home. I got out my notebook and started writing down everything I noticed about my feelings and perceptions in the complete silence. It turned into an idea for one of my future updates on my new story. I try to make lemonade as much as I can from anything life throws my way.

Why not wear a flower hat, they're cool. 

Mac Pro No

I know most writers would kill for a mac. Not me, I think I will stick with my Dell.

Peaceful sleep

It will never happen when you want it, but go see a lecture about something you care about.... Zzzzzz

Writing what is popular versus what would happen

it is difficult to write for readers sometimes. Everyone wants a happy ending and not just any happy ending but the one they expect. Enter chaotic writer, Not all of my stories will end with a cherry milkshake. What do you think? anyone have thoughts on writing for the reader vs the story?

Jareds trip to the store was odd enough, what could be more confusing at home?

Writing something you don't know

       I have learned the hardest writing I have done so far is my new Hello World? series. Not due to subject matter, or characters, but trying to write descriptively for a blind main character. There is so much information we get from seeing something, whether it is body language, scenery, or impending danger. I think there will be something to level the field soon for Jared. Maybe even make him better at dealing with the danger than Jeff.

Hello World part 02

Day two has Jared questioning his best friends sanity. Something isn't right, he just isn't sure what yet.

meaningful pictures

Taking Meaningful pictures for a character is a favorite of mine. I now find myself in a spot trying to get meaningful pictures for a person born blind. it is much harder than you would think.

mystery tour

I have realized that my writing is like a mystery tour. Even I don't know where the heck it is headed sometimes. No worries, it will get there in the end.

In a world ruled by five races there may be an unknown

testing other styles

Trying something you haven't done before is scary, usually. Hope I was able to do it cohesively is my main goal now.

Memories

Don’t take yourself so seriously, try to remember it is the funny things we remember when we are older, make more of those memories. If your kid wants to stay up way past bedtime to do something fun with you. Know they are building good memories when you say yes.

Tower Sprite
