What a Weekend!
MONDAY, JULY 8, 2024 -
Today’s entry depends on certain premises.
I’m a writer.
I live a writer’s life.
You care.
Well, thanks for caring.
My sweet wife helps my writing life in so many ways. She makes me a bowl of oatmeal and puts a touch of my favorite spice in it each morning. I will say the D-con has a residual effect, and although the flavor is awesome, and after a while, I start hearing voices and seeing visions. Some of my best imaginary friends probably come from my morning meals.
This, then is the usual plan for the morning’s writing schedule.
I wake up. I eat oatmeal because of both my cholesterol, and because my literary agent and Ray Bradbury told me to. Yes, I am trying for some new fiction for my portfolio.
I have decided that non-fiction is a cop-out. it requires no imagination or creativity. If you are writing historical works, it has already happened. If you are writing how-to stuff about something you don’t already know about, just look it up. somebody has already written about it. So, be a planner, grab an outline, and throw something in it,
Fiction, on the other hand, is often a challenge.
So, “Hello challenge.”
For my subscriber and reader peeps, please check them out, and send me your questions, comments, and carping criticisms.
Thanks.
It has been a crazy holiday weekend full of frivolity and partying with my family and the squibs.
Later!
