PRIDE STORIES

I'm sure many stories have been written about pride. With the many pride events coming this month, I will post something along the lines of what pride means to me. It could be a fiction story also. It could be a poem. I'm working on what to do.

WORDS OF WISDOM

The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.

~ Ralph Ellison, Author (1914-1994)

HOW MUCH?

I am going over some works that need some editing. The thought came to me 'how much is too much?' Overdoing editing can ruin a good story.

I have two stories and a poem that need work. One story needs a few more sentences. The other needs more. The poem, however, needs another line and maybe different words. I have written stories which needed to be shorter. Had too much jabbering. 

Leaving a good story alone is something I have learned over the years. When I feel satisfied with the piece, there's no more to be done. Editing is challenging but, then again, I like to be challenged.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Writing is not a matter of choice. Writers have to write. It is somehow in their temperament, in the blood, in tradition.

~N. Scott Momaday
