Brain Drippings

OMFG

OMFG – On My Freaking Gallbladder, I didn’t mean to be gone for so long.

So, we had a pandemic. (I’m just going to let that stay there and not comment any further.)

I completed my bachelor’s degree and got a new job. There were a lot of things. It was not an easy time. I hope you, whoever you are reading this, are good. I, despite it all, am.

Oh and in 2019 I won Nanowrimo….I still need to go back and edit my story because who completes Nanowrimo and doesn’t need to edit it. LMAO. I will start posting chapters for reviews and comments once I am ready to do things like that. But that day is not today.

I’ve been lurking around here a long time, but I know I am basically new. Just know, I have seen a lot of writing, I have reviewed and read a lot of stories. My hints to you:
- Find a safe place to store all your writing. You never know when an old idea will spark a new one. I have lost more stories…my lost children break my heart.
- Take all the grammar hints you can get. If you stick with this artform, you will get better.
- Participate. Stephen King has been quoted as saying “Writer’s write!” And to that I add, creativity is a muscle, if you don’t use it, it atrophies. Everyday you should try to do something creative. It doesn’t have to be writing, but it does have to push you…doodle, water paint, woodwork, create a mural, do something in paint, crochet, knit, sketch out an idea, write a poem, a song, outline a novel…do anything creative. This will help your brain, and then…
- Do something with your non-dominate hand: practice writing your name, write the alphabet, or draw fifty cats. It really doesn’t matter. What you are doing is pushing connections between your right brain and left. You are trying to connect logic and creativity.

So, this year, I am doing "I Write in 2024" , and since many of the contests are very short stories, I thought I would put surrounding story thoughts here.

Happy Holidays, I really wish you all a really good year. Lets all be creative together.

Love and Peace,

Being dumb, won’t save your brains.

Write On!
