Today, I continue work, now getting deeper into ancillary characters who play a big part in multiple different versions of the love story between the two primary protagonists. This story takes place in multiple realities, or, as it were 'many words' and two characters, Nate and Jamie, play a central role in the life of the female protagonist known as Livvy.I have decided to make Nate a track star

To tell the truth about my writing, it is a bit schizophrenic. Scattered? Uneven? Something along those lines but this is not the typical 'self-loathing' writer comments where I question and insult the words I have put down to e-paper via my computer. Rather this is my confession that I sometimes prefer to write an entire chapter in one sitting and sometimes prefer to skip between chapters and som...

Not really. today was one of the best Mondays I have had in a while. I got my article written and uploaded before 7:00 leaving me plenty of time to write on my personal work.Tonight I have about a thousand words written so far and it is interesting because I am doing so many different things, but i am working on the chapter 'The Days of Doldrums" and I am trying to craft a portion of the story tha

The following is a little something I came up with tonight. the first line is where my hook came: 'A long time ago in a land not so far away, I thought I fell in love.' The key to that sentence is, of course, the term "thought" which is exactly what I intended. The chapter is titled: The days of doldrums and is depicting a relationship the main protagonist has been involved in without getting in ...

Long title huh? thought I would change it up a bit as there is something in particular that seems to bother me recently and that something surrounds the manner in which writers groups are being used.Now, disclaimer here, people can join a group and when approved interact with that group however they deem fit based on group guidelines, and with that little factoid out of the way, I can also critici

I took today off from my 'normal' job, as if there is such a thing as normalcy amid the concept of work, to take care of some errands and there was not much to inspire words about a world that is a bit dystopian in some places and a bit post-apocalyptic in others on a day that was the epitome of a perfect day in Portland, Oregon. It was seventy-five degrees as I sat and enjoyed the day from the va...

So, I belong to several writers groups. The tough part about groups on Facebook is that each has a slightly different set of rules. None of this is something that really bothers me, after all, it's not as if I spend twenty-four hours a day reading through the slough of posts (yes, I spelled it that way on purpose) hoping for some small fragment of hope embedded in a post.There are the usual, quest

Today, the idea for the next chapter hit; it was time to get deeper into the physics of the fiction I am writing. I dread referring to the work as science fiction, because it is not really genre writing and today I did my best to distance myself from the realm of Star Trek and other such frivolity.Now, being fair, Star Trek has its place as does just about every genre of writing; and mine is 'lite

Wednesday's are always a tight deal for me, work, meetings late in the day, then I have an article due... and tonight was made more difficult by errands that needed taken care of first. My articles, sports realted, usually come pretty easily, but this is the dead time of year for college football.I could have written about practices, but I am commissioned to cover recruiting this time of year and

Ah, yes, today i worked a bit on a piece that is a dialogue between Dystopian Cuddyback and Livvy's father. It is WAY unpolished and needs work, but I am using this particular segment to play on political differences of the time that led this particular dimension to stray from the current political model into a model that attempts to espouse the ideals of democracy within a nation while leaving th...
