A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
A new page awaits. It was difficult to write, especially knowing it is true. A very dear friend’s sorrowful memory of their own son’s heroic action during the Vietnam War. SIGH…
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
Just listened to a radio interview I prerecorded a couple of weeks ago. It’s not terrible (LOL). If you’d like to give it a listen, go to http://www.wnbnetworkwest.com/WnbAuthorsShow.html It’s available today, March 19th, now until 12 midnight eastern time. I’d love feedback!! On another note, I’ve begun interviewing some primary sources for the book, and I hope […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
There are so many experiences that influence authors when they write. Life experiences, second hand knowledge, or even a desire to understand others’ emotions and conflicts are significant influences on a writer’s works. For me, my interest in the plight of El Salvador during its Civil War was first aroused by the song “El Salvador” […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
Posts and pages… I’m trying to decide how to connect them all. Should everything be a “post” or should I leave it as I started? What do you think? Are the “pages” easy to access or do you find it easier to have everything in a running blog? Here’s the link to my last “pages” […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
Tonight, I would like to share a few quick thoughts with you on word choice and revisions. One thing I’ve discovered as I’m pouring over pages I’ve previously written is that I am never quite satisfied. There is always a sentence, a word, or thought that I think I can revise to make it spectacular, […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
Another day… another page, hmmm. Any ideas for revisions… any thoughts on characters or plot? I’m open to suggestions because everything written so far in its infancy. The characters are just developing, and they still don’t know exactly who they are yet. Let me know your thoughts after you’ve read Prologue part 1 and part 2.
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
I have discovered that to write and to write well, it’s necessary to have experienced many adventures along life’s way. I’ve often been asked which parts of my novel Moon Dance are fact, and which parts fiction. I usually just smile and offer, “It’s partly truth and partly fiction, and I’m not tellin’ which is […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me
I wrote a “fantastic” (sarcasm) post a few minutes ago, and I really liked what I said (truth). Then in a moment of insanity, I copied it so I could paste it into another page. Before I did, my mind wandered and I started writing more. I “moved” some text around and then realized I […]
A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On Write With Me
Woke with ideas flooding my mind… kept laying in bed rearranging and editing my thoughts. Lots of my planning takes place this way. I really should have gotten up and written everything down, but I was too lazy. Hours later, the ideas flowing and now I really have to write them down! Join me on A […]
