Why do I Write?

A few books from my shelf.  See any you recognize? I love stories.  That's the heart of the matter right there.  Tell me a good tale that makes me think and feel and I'll dream about it for days or years after.  Short, long, happy, sad, true, fiction, movie, book - I love it all!  Some things I don't disagree with, but hey - it got me thinking and forming opinions so it was good for something. Frequently throughout my slice of life, I've had scenes play out in my head.  I've met characters and given them questions of "what do you do if you're faced with..." and then I dream out the results.  Often times those scenes start to burn in my mind, I grow excited, and I can't think of anything else until I have taken that vivid image and scribbled it onto paper or typed it on a computer anditjustmakesmesohappywhenit'sfinally DONE! Whew! And I'd forget it on a flash drive for years and years until I find it randomly one day (yesterday) re...

The Art of Discipline

Have you ever watched someone draw a detailed picture start to finish?  I'm not talking about those time lapses that are popular on YouTube.  I'm talking about the sketching, the erasing, the coloring, the inking, the finishing, the whole thing.  It's unlikely that you have unless you were the one creating the picture.  Why?  Because IT'S BORING.  Especially if it's something repetitive, like scratch art.  One of the only ways someone can stare at a creation for hours is if they're actively involved in the process.  Even then, artists can grow weary of their work and speed up the process.  This inevitably results in works that look half done. Because they are. Once upon a time I was working on an art piece that I wanted to do right.  Start to finish.  Perfect.  But I knew the risk of speeding up was real, and the medium I was using at the time was unforgiving, so I didn't want to chance ruining the piece.  So I set...

Supporting Local Endeavors

Hello again, friend!  Thanks for taking the time to read this!  Do you know what your support means to me?  This website keeps track of how many views a post gets and I am grateful for every view.  I sit here with my laptop and smile at the fact that someone, somewhere, took time out of their day to see what I've written.  It makes writing feel more worthwhile than a simple exercise in sharing my thoughts.  So, thank you.  :) On to other matters that do not revolve around me or my writing!  Do you know what's happening where you live?  I'm not talking about road construction that makes your drive to work inconvenient.  I'm asking if you know what production your local theatre is doing.  Your high school is rearing up for a concert, do you know when it is?  What about that one hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Well, do you? Maybe you know about Endgame  and already have tickets.  Or about how Josh Groban is finally ...
