I don't know

I can't thing of a title for this blog. I'm sooo bad at coming up with titles. Hence my stories being named after they're main characters. If I had to go so far as to name every chapter I'd probly give up all together. I really don't have anything exciting to say. Just felt like writing something. My new story is a little over half done. Seems to be going good so far. I was stuck on a sex scene for a while, I just didn't think it was coming out right but I had my editor read it last night and he sure seemed to enjoy it so maybe it's just me.

 

I have another story I'm thinking about posting. I wrote it a couple of years ago. It's all completed and my editor is actually editing it while he's trying to talk me into posting it. I've been leary about it because it's very violent in the beginning. I think even more so then Shane. The bad parts don't last as long though so maybe that'll make up for it. I don't know. I've thought about posting it for four days now and still don't know.

 

It's raining here this morning. Was even snowing yesterday. It was beautiful because the flakes were HUGE. I just stood there staring and the girl I was standing with kept going. "Would you listen to me!" because I kept daydreaming. I'm awful about day dreaming I can get totally lost in day dreams and miss entire conversations, yet somehow I'm able to nod or go 'uh-uh' in appropriate places then later on I'm like 'wait what did that person just say?' and everyone's always saying to me. "I just told you that the other day." I don't think my memories that bad, I think I just dont' really listen most of the time. Which I should really try to correct.

 

I like your suggestion Kevin about being "Creative Ad Executive" I think I'll use that from now on! Though yesterday I didn't want to be anything that had to do with ads. NOTHING was going right. If I could just make ads it'd be great but we have to follow all these little tiny stupid rules or we don't get refunded for our advertising. Things that are okay in one ad are suddenly not okay in another. Drives me nuts sometimes. Course it's a short drive. hehehe.

 

My cat tries to type all the time too. What she loves to do most though is lay on the mouse. So I have to stick my hand under her to move it and sometimes she tackles me cause she thinks I'm playing so it can get pretty dangerous.

 

Well I guess that's it for now. I have to be leaving for work soon. I sure hope today is better then yesterday!

Don't worry about whether a story has "bad elements" like drugs, violence, etc. For better or worse, that stuff is part of our lives and makes for good drama. If there is no conflict in a story, who would read it?

 

Good stories exist on the edges and extremes. They don't come from comfortable places with comfortable emotions. The very best stories help us learn something about ourselves or force us to confront issuess that we probably would rather not.

 

An author need only concern himself with making it a good story.

 

Screw it if it isn't politically correct or has plot elements that some readers aren't comfortable with. By taking the reader to that edge, you have expanded his consciousness, world and understanding.

 

If the reader doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to strap it on for a rough ride, it is his character that is flawed, not the author's.

I agree with James, Vance :) . Why don't you go ahead and post it with a warning about heavy violence and let people decide for themselves if they want to read it?

 

Those snowflakes the other day sound awesome! I've never seen actual snowflakes in real life :(

 

I'm really glad you liked my suggestion lol :boy:

 

Sorry the other day was so rough, I hope your weekend and the next week are much better!

 

Take care and have a great day!

Kevin
