Hmm........

It has been a while since I posted here. Have been working on getting my old journals digitized. Adding new journal pages. Updating a cookbook I have. So far that is all the writing I have done as of late.

I have so many ideas for stories but it can be difficult to get those ideas on paper and have it make any sense. I put in my calendar to write something everyday. That is one of my New Year's resolutions. To finish a work of fiction. Granted it hasn't gone well so far, but it is still early in the year.

Hopefully the next post I make is a something that I got written. Until then...

What to write about

I am stuck. I have several ideas for a story and lots of reasearch. I just can't seem to get started on the actual piece.

Should I write a dreamworld. A place that takes you where you dreams lie. Where you could be anyone or anything. Where you can alter reality itself and make it either a peacefully place or your worst nightmare.

Or should write a thriller about a devious person that tortures his victims. Leaves no evidence and no obvious motive.

Oh the dilema!

Rain (Very Rough Draft)

I stood in the rain as I let myself become drenched. The cool breeze added to the chill. My heart was happiest in the rain. It allowed me to cry without letting anyone else know I was doing so. It also allowed creativity to flow like warm blood through my veins. Today it was a good day to cry.

First Helpful article

This website was the first I found that was rather helpful. It allows you to build a story from one sentence. It is called the 'Snowflake Method of Writing.' All you Jurassic Park fans may get a kick out if the idea as the 'Snowflake Method' in general was used through out the book.

Uncharted Territory

In the depths of the African rainforest there is a world unkown to mankind. A world that could either help us find the secrets of our Earth or destroy it. One scientist had already lost his life in this place he dubbed "Hell." Will his daughter and a team of scientists figure out the key or perish with him?

Writer's Block

I have so many ideas for a book, and yet I can not seem to get them on paper and have it make sense.

Here are some of the ideas I have. Let me know what you think.

1. One person's dream will save the world.

2. Earth spinning into a black hole.

3. Secrets from an ancient world. (Leaning towards Chichén Itzá, Mexico and Machu Picchu being apart of it)

4. Something to do with an Adam and Eve of the present that saves man kind. (that one is my least favorite as it is the one that needs more kinks worked out to make a good book.)

I was also thinking of creating a mystery book. I figure that I love watch things like that. CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Bones, and Cold Case being just a fraction of those types of shows that I watch. The only thing is I can not think of a "Perfect Crime" that would be so enticing.

So many ideas and yet I can not get it to paper.
