Time to suck it up and get back into the mode of writing again. I've been avoiding it for a while, in all manners.
The Book <s>, we continue our constant stare down. I am the Matador and my book is the bull. I keep waving my red cape around and the damn bull keeps running away rather then coming close enough for a kill shot.
Journal writing, I continue to turn the computer on, especially when the bull <book> is being most traitorous and running out to a field to chew some grass. I continue to stare at the screen of journal possibilities and I'm typically blank.
Where art thou creativity ye Matador Rebecca?
In the spirit of book writing, I'm almost done reading the book A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. An interesting and assaulting insight into the world of addiction and the minds of people who take such abusive personal behavior to a level the majority of us will never understand. A worthy read, and I've found it's given me a better understanding of my brothers addiction and world.
I have only one complaint. And it's because I'm a wanna be writer, who's sweating out her own book and completely and whole heartedly despise writing dialogue. James seems to have found a loophole through getting out of writing dialogue and for that, my mind keeps screaming chicken shit while reading his sneaky writing. His writing has NO use of "Jane is beautiful woman" said Tarzan in his stoic manner while adjusting his man thong. Not a single " " in the entire book............
I guess I'm just irritated that I didn't think of his loophole dialogue first. Always the inventors, and then the copycats. I won't copy, I won't take that easy road, but damn, if I had thought of it first I'd be all over his sneaky style in a writers minute.
I applaud his brilliance and lack of """"""""""""""""""""""""""""
All right, this was a start, time to start writing again, feeling the love of the computer, and poking my bull <book> in the arse with a writers sword and getting this show on the road again.
Routine, is a terrible thing to ignore~~

Oh I wish you luck on tackling the "bull". I sit here too looking at Word..wanting to pick up the pieces and I'm making excuses for myself...procrastination begone!I think I'll do the tag thing that I got challenged with and maybe that will start me off.....have you been tagged? If not, write five things that are odd/quirky about yourself....sorry about that..but I had to pass it on...Happy New Year...Sandi
Hi Rebecca,
It's the new year.. go figure! lol..(oh no.. you have enough to tackle..forget the new year, just go on with your writing) lol~
I'll be here reading....

About time you got back on the hamster wheel of writing. You have been missed.
a friend, recently published author, tells me that writing a book is 90% sweat. i agree with that - you get bogged down. good luck to you. but remember, just have fun with it. the important thing is to get it written...then you can rewrite it.
;-)
It is not copying, many authors utilize that loophole! LOL, See now I on the other hand have no problem with the "" it is the OTHER STUFF inbetween! IE, the story! That is why scripts are so up my alley! Its all dialogue for the most part! LOL
Glad to see you are still about!

Now that you got tht out of your system get busy!!! Your friend terry ann
Now see, I love dialogue, because it tells the most about the character. It's not the easiest thing to write though. Have heart, you'll get there. Rome wasn't built in a day. Besides, just think of how many people you have just itching to read this book. I'm going to love it, I can tell.

You Rebecca him empty page go write um book !

I love great dialogue. It has to be very real, though. It is helpful in getting to know the characters. It's one reason I love Jodi Picoult. Her subjects are always pulled right out of life's pages and touch on the real raw emotions of those living it. She makes my stomach tighten and my heart both ache and sing....I'm reading My Sister's Keeper right now, and it incredible. Simply real. If you like this kind of stuff, check out her website under her name. The Pact and The Perfect Match are also good. ;o)

Dialogue be damned! I am one of the few I know that has no interest in reading the latest Oprah offering. I've heard rave reviews and from all I can tell it's quite a book. I am devoutly a fiction reader. After 'A Child Called It' by Dave Peltzer,
I just can't do the 'real life trials' of others. ([hmph] and look at the book I'm currently attempting to write. Ha, a bit ironic, and more than odd)

I'm stuck on the MAN THONG visual I have going on in my creative imagination. I just can't seem to get past that part of your entry. Dang fantasy I live in, sucks me in every time! ::grrrr::

Have you read The Artist Within by Julia Cameron? Might help to give your creativity a charge. It's one of my favs. Especially when I actually listen to what she tells you to do lol
