WORDS OF WISDOM

Aloneness, to me, is not being lonely. It is being content in the quietness enveloping me like a  warm blanket.

~Genevieve

ALONENESS OF A WRITER

Writing can be a lonely profession. Aloneness is par for the course, and I enjoy it. I don't feel lonely at all. I embrace the moment that I'm in.

The heart and soul of good writing is research, you should not write what you know but what you can find out.

DEEPENING A CHARACTER'S PSYCHE

Has anyone written about a character, then decided to create them with a broader brush? I'm doing this with a character I created a few years ago. He is already complicated. Upon some reflection, I may queer him, or reveal the inner passions of his heart. His dichotomy may get interesting.

WRITERS, PRESS ON!

 

WORDS OF WISDOM

An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose.

~Langston Hughes

WRITING-A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY

I transposed an old story into a different notebook. I wrote this story over a decade ago about a woman's spiritual conversion. Looking at it again brought me back to what I was feeling at that particular time. 

There have been times when rereading an old piece of writing conjures up the same feelings I had at that time.  Some are stronger than others.
