Writing into the dark... discovery writer... pantster.... Lots of ways to describe a writer who just writes. No outlines. No character sketches. Just writing. I have always done this. I've tried to plot and design characters and regulate how things come out on the page. It just isn't me. I get bored with stories quickly … Continue reading Why I like to write into the dark
I had the fortune today of being interviewed for a girl's senior project today. It felt good to be able to share some of my experiences with her. It was awesome to have an emotional rekindling. This interview was healthy for me and just what I needed. I took a few of my older pieces, … Continue reading The interview – old and new
I am not going to release that long blog I started working on a couple days ago. I might post it for myself personally, something I can reflect back on in a few years, but no one else needs to see it. I should probably even continue working on some of it because it was … Continue reading Wisdom to remain silent
I woke up feeling much better, both mentally and physically. It's amazing how much sleep can do for a person. I edited some audio, and tinkered a bit with trying out a couple of things. Then I sat down to write. I got two chapters written on the 2nd book today. I would really like … Continue reading Two more chapters done
I'm posting this a little early today. I'm afraid what my mood is going to degrade into as the evening progresses. Oh, the day started off fine. Then I listened to some truths and spoke some truths out into the world. Aren't I smarter than that? No one cares. Literally, no one cares. I would … Continue reading Let’s see what happens – Day 2
This is a hard blog post for me to write. Worse, I don't know why. Doesn't matter though. This is still a post I've been avoiding to write. 90 Seconds to Courage is now available on Amazon. Read on Kindle Unlimited Even though it is out to the world, I still have major trepidations about … Continue reading Still shaking in my knees
I am writing this post after having finished writing my rant that went up on Monday. I have to say that my emotions are a little raw right now. The psychological distance is the reason why I usually save thoughts like that for my fiction. But I know this feeling will soon pass. Our bodies … Continue reading Riptide of emotions
After mentioning Cirvel in my blog earlier this week, someone -- not naming names here *cough* "Loki" *cough* -- got a little jealous. I've heard him piping up the background the last couple of weeks politely telling me that I don't write enough blogs about him. Not nearly enough! He's probably right. So let's start … Continue reading Let’s talk about Loki
Let me begin by saying that I don't suffer from impostor syndrome. Absolutely not. No way. At least not until the moment I step up to the canvas and begin painting. Then, all bets are off. For the last couple of years I have been asking myself just what is wrong with me. I have … Continue reading Thoughts on Secret Thoughts
If you've been following me on Twitter, you know that I've been listening to Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat for the last couple of weeks. Let me start by saying that I don't think I've ever cried so much by listening to an audiobook before. //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=dawnblair1-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=B01H0IOZQ4&asins=B01H0IOZQ4&linkId=a0b77bdb860a8cbb35df5ec08c20d813&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true Solve for Happy came about from Mo's own … Continue reading Can happiness be solved like a math equation?
