Writing Wednesday – Hacker

Writing Wednesday – Hacker

I do not remember what this prompt was started from. It is dated back in January of 2017. It was a time before I wrote down what each prompt was. This spawned from many late-night meals at Dennys or other restaurants with friends after hours. Enjoy. Fingers deftly...

Editing Process

 I had to revisit the process of editing recently. An opportunity arose to help a fellow writer and I took it.  It was a weird feeling as I have been removed from that for so long. Once back, the whole thing came back to me. I am going to outline how I go...

Arts and Creativity

The title may be misleading a little as I mean the arts. It is not limited to painting, drawing, and coloring. Those are important, as well. When I say the arts, I refer to any creative endeavor. Music, dance, writing, and anything that lets people express themselves...

Written Wednesday – Love

Here is another recent story I wrote during our Write On writer’s meeting. We were given song titles and tasked to use them as inspiration. The one I used was “Do You Believe In Life After Love?” by Cher. Hope you enjoy this piece. The street was...

Roleplaying Games

If I mention Dungeons and Dragons and lose you, I apologize. This ties into a lot of what I do and have done. Tabletop roleplaying games have always been a go-to of mine.  When I first started, I saw how it was a marriage of so many things I loved. It was most...

Pacing

Pacing for novels and stories is tricky. I do believe in you and will add what my thoughts on the topic are.   I always refer to the saying “this is a marathon, not a sprint” as it applies to so much in life as well as life itself. There are...

Critique

It is not often that I will talk about someone’s writing. I have always focused on the message that came across and less of how the words and punctuation were used. This was challenged a couple of times and I see now the benefit to a constructive critique. ...

Writer’s Block

 We all experience it. You may not be a writer, but if you do have creative projects, a block is likely to happen at one point or another. Personally, this happens to me a lot. It might not be on a large scale where I do no writing at all. I always do the same...
