Day Nineteen in the NaNoWriMo Camp
I'm still going, though its getting all the more challenging. This is the part where I would just let stuff breathe, let the story tell me when it wants to go again, but this is not November's challenge so I push on with determination. My challenge this week: is creating a thriving alien society whose complex issues are very different than our own and even more challenging is to…See More

Day Fifteen in the NaNoWriMo Camp

Day Fourteen in the NanoWriMo Camp
Challenging times! Pneumonia that makes me feel like I have a bag of snot sitting on my chest 24/7 and two deaths in the family stiffles my focus on the tasks at hand. When I add the holidays in the mix and all the feelings of inadequacies that this season stirs up inside me... well, now remember why I usually quit about this time. Praying that I will be able to break through this wall and see what's on the other side. Challenge: to be mindful of the promise I made to myself.See More

Day Ten in th NaNoWriMo Camp
I have to admit, today was the most challenging day of all. Because I had to do some medical tests, I had to fast for twelve hours, but as it turned out it was for an additional two hours, totalling fourteen hours of deprivation of brain nutrients. Most of the day, I was like a brain dead zombie typing in slow mo, because that's how my thoughts moved. By the time that I got to eat, my quick writing stride lasted for just about two hours. Now, I'm wiped out again. Good luck everyone with your…See More

Day Seven in NaNoWriMo Camp
Phew! Barely made my goal today, but truthfully it was not my fault. My muse did such a good job of inspiring me yesterday with her vivid imaging and emotions that I simply could not land solidly in front of my computer today. So thorough was her inspiration that I could see this amazing story come to life as if it were a movie.Last night I fell asleep with this amazing drama still all around me, its color temperature still on my skin, ethereal breezes wafting beneath my nose, and an…See More

Day Four in the NaNoWriMo Camp
Simple is hardly ever easy, especially when it comes to writing. My challenge today was to escavate simple heartfelt emotions from a non-communicative and complicated character and transform those emotions into words that everyone could understand. Simple right? Not!!!Usually, by the afternoon, I'd be getting ready to take a break from my full swing of writing. Not so today! Today, I was a mental zombie, listening to one movie sound track after another for inspiration; then my son skyped me…See More

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a writer...
"A truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, and failure is death. Added to this cruelly delicate organism the over powering need to create, create, create -- so without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." Pearl S. Buck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1892-1973)
