 Blogging thoughts |
| I recently started the New Year in the hospital having fallen and blacking out. My hospital nurses and doctors were very good and friendly. I used to be afraid of the hospital thinking that I will end up dead. Now I['ve been given a new refreshed life as a human. I don't have any after effects from the fall. I have a walker (called Rollator) and had to go through a whole slew of therapy. You'd think I can't speak or cook after falling. I thank God that I['m alive and that my outlook is bright. |
| I have to have a conversation with myself and my Muse. So, my Muse says, you've written three scenes for your story. Do you like what you've done so far. Me: I don't like it so far. Can I start a new story and pitch this current story in the junky folder? Muse: If you wish. I didn't get consulted about your story. If you asked me whether to start writing a story, I would have had to ask you the following questions: What's it all about? Why do you want to write with the POV of the male lead character? Aren't you more interested in the female lead character? Why did you start with someone who's ill and may be dying? What about the lead male character that makes you think you know what he wants. I suggest you ask him what he really wants out of his story. You've been dry all this time, what makes you think you're all ready to start writing again? I don't like the characters. You have to like the characters in order to put forth the story. How can you write with your fur babies clamoring for attention? I think you can start writing with this story and change the names of the female characters. As it stands, both character names are too lame. There has to be some way to enliven the story. Here you are, writing like a pantser. I think you need to arrange your story so it has a plot that is more realistic. Sorry, Gabbie, you're just not where you want to be. You are taking sleep time to write this story because of the dogs and because of what your suffering from healthwise. Or is it that the gremlins are hurting you and that's what is happening to interfere with your creative juices. Pray to someone who used to write good stories. No, there are no saints that have written good stories. They are all focused on God and no one else. That will have to be what you should focus on and if He sees that you are striving to be creative, he will give you the grace to write a good story worth publishing. |
