I’m going to start with a word my mother often would refer as a ‘strong’ word. Hate. I hate trying to summarize anything I have written. This has become more prominent as I’m sitting pointlessly gawking at a blank Word document, waiting for myself to describe a seventy thousand word book to a paragraph or … Continue reading Writer’s Insight: I hate blurbs and summaries!
Anniversary
Glistening with thunderous glee, Amid earth scorched locks, With ever cheerful demeanor, And loving embrace, A blurred line erased, With each passing day, The moment it started with, A ‘hey’, A foundation built, A path yet to travel, There is no way, I cannot say, ‘I love you’ For my wonderful brown eyed girl wife.
Our Little Life: Personal Thoughts cellphone and social media.
Yesterday I watched a video. A short cartoon interpretation of how cellphone affect our society. It was well drawn, with good musical notes on key moments, I watched with fascination — and a bit of annoyance. Both from the video and the comment section below it. Lots of people were praising the video to showing … Continue reading Our Little Life: Personal Thoughts cellphone and social media.
Writers Block
Today I’m hindered by my other friendly companion of writing; writer’s block. It’s something every writer has, and it’s something each of us have to deal with in our own way.

The good weeks and the bad, all mingle into a … Continue reading Our Little Life: Responsible
Writing Insight: Comfort Zone
For as long as I can remember I wanted to write fantasy, no that’s not exactly right either. I wrote fantasy, every time I sat down I wrote about the unique, the strange, and the magical. So when it came time to write an actual novel, I thought perfect I’ll write a young adult (YA) … Continue reading Writing Insight: Comfort Zone
Our Little Life: Core Goal
Last night I sat in our blow up hot-tub and rambled to my wife about everything bouncing around in my head. To say that it was a lot would be an understatement. I talked about how we could modify the backyard to make it more of what we wanted, about how excited I was from … Continue reading Our Little Life: Core Goal
Lake of the Past (Writing)
I think the last time I wrote a poem free-style or rhythm was in High School, but today I felt inspired and I wanted to give it a try. Be sure to leave your comments or your own poems. Lake of the Past There is a lake in thought, that lays placid with welcoming warmth, … Continue reading Lake of the Past (Writing)
Writing Insight 2 (Writing Program)
Have you ever done so much research on something to just lead you in a circle of where you started? I did when it came to picking a document system to write on.
