"A writer writes . . . always," from Throw Mama from the Train is one of my favorite all time movie lines, and one I have been living by for the past few months. Unfortunately, that may not be such a good thing; there are other things in life that either fall from the proverbial plate or get left in the dust. This blog site is a good case in point. Yes, there are other issues in this category, but I'll save those for a good therapist.
The intent of this site is to provide lessons-learned to other striving writers . . . or serve as an example as to why you should look to other ambitions in life. Those who have answered the calling will tell you this is not for the weak of heart! Alas, I digress.
Lets start afresh: The intent is to provide lessons-learned and provide some transparency to my way down this creative road.
A recent addition to the site is the "Currently Reading" list over on the right. I can usually manage approximately three books at a time and will strive to keep the list updated (please note I am not a fast reader).
What is not up-to-date is the "One Last Hero" status. Actually, the manuscript is on hold for the near future. Originally it was stood down to rush a novella, "Juxtaposition Reality" onto the green ramp for publication. Unfortunately, the magazine closed down; so, now comes the process of finding another publisher. In the meantime, the manuscript for "Dew Drop Inn" its weirdness aplenty is in revision for a possible eBook. "So the story goes."
Bottom line, the site will focus more on this writer's lessons-learned. I think for the next posting we'll take a look at the music that helped to formulate and sustain different writings (am writing this to Yes' "Live at Montreux 2003").
See you then. And remember, "a writer writes . . . always."
