Night Descending... (draft notes)

2013-05-24T07:55:12-04:00

The moonlight pools around a well-formed woman dressed only in the drops from the evening’s light rain.

Gophers don't do that...

Our brain is an amazing thing. A NY Times article gives just one example of how peoples thoughts and perceptions can be affected by how the brain receives, processes and perceives information. No doubt this is known and used to advantage in advertising, the media and politics. (Hmmmm... those three now often seem inextricably intertwined, don't they?)

Kind of like "The Sopranos" meets "50 Shades of Grey"

2013-05-17T05:47:33-04:00

This scan is of the first page of handwritten notes for a story idea (Maid Man -- about a Mafia hit man who has a sex-change operation, with kind of a twist of "The Sopranos" meets "50 Shades of Grey"). I've planned this story for further work in early 2014. [You can click on the following image to expand if you'd like to read the notes.]

The D'Inja...

I must be stealthy and swift. Little does this thing... this Chuckle Buddy know of my wrath. It will soon, though… it will soon learn. I am the shadow no one sees. The wind no one hears.

When...

2013-05-14T11:46:56-04:00

When you're quiet. I know you're still there... in the moment with me. When I travel. Your heart is still with me... where I am.

Everything is relative...

All of life is dealing with circumstances and events... trying to keep our footing on an uneven playing field and damn it if the rain isn't coming down then the wind is blowing us off our feet. The sun is too hot or it’s too freaking cold. And we so love those days when everything is fine and beautiful. We appreciate the contrast. It’s relative.

How to Plan & Organize Your Memoir or Life Story

2013-04-20T06:00:00-04:00

How to Plan & Organize Your Memoir or Nonfiction Project. The following game plan for getting (and keeping) a project rolling has worked for me in writing several books and perhaps it will help you, too. This is not a guide to teach you how to become a writer. There are countless books, courses, articles and websites that can help you with that. They can teach you proper grammar, structure and even how to format your manuscript for publication. Those are all things that come with having a rough draft to polish and make pretty. This IS a guide to help you make actual progress and do what needs to come first—the most important step you must take if you want to write your story. Creating a first draft (the rough draft you can then begin to make pretty and polished).

I’m a better writer than E L James...

I know if I keep writing and working on discoverability—helping readers find my work—the quality of my writing and stories will develop an audience. And that’s starting to happen. I don’t have literary pretensions. I’m working on that sweet spot somewhere between where my writing is appreciated for the quality and readers have voted on the story appeal by buying my books and stories.
