Words of Wisdom

If something touches the deepest recesses of your soul, write it down and share it with others.

Eclectic

I read a wide variety of books. They range from history to poetry to science to religion. I guess you could say my taste is eclectic. I tend to gravitate to controversial and eccentric folks. I read many authors who tend to fly under the radar of popularity. Herman Melville, who worte Moby Dick is one of my favorite authors. I like stories about the sea and far away lands.

The words of wisdom posted earlier is so true because there are so many ideas for stories everywhere. Maybe because I read so many different books some of my ideas may be different but that's just my experience. I have gotten ideas from the simplest of activities. It can be children playing or a cold wind blowing through leafless treelimbs. Every once in a while an idea will hit me in the face. For the most part most ideas come in ordinary circumstances .

Words of Wisdom

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers
are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
