Do you find yourself thinking there’s no time in the day to do what you want to do? I do, at times. I was thinking just the other day that maybe, saying there is no time in the day, is just an excuse. That, if I sat down to do what I want, what I end up doing isn’t good enough. The only remedy to this problem is to recognize that what you produce most likely won’t be that great the first time around, and if it isn’t, focus on making it better. Don’t give up.
Life’s a gamble, not to get lost in the cards or the games.
Below is a compilation of the main points I’ve talked about in my articles/posts about story setting. The articles each was pulled from is given in each bubble. The links are given below the table.
In my dream you held me tight,
but only for a moment’s flight,
then I woke,
you went away,
perhaps to visit another day.
I took your hand and speared your eyes,
connections made that never dies,
then we let go,
but hearts delighted,
perhaps the start of love ignited.
Snippets of Wisdom
Remember, food can’t grow on a hard surface.
So how are you supposed to raise a family
if you don’t get a little soft?
Waves–
Keep coming–
So we have to change with the waves of time,
As the waves approach, we have to react.
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
I traveled to Europe twice. The first time was to live for a few years, as I was a military wife. The second time was years later with my dad to visit family. Both times, even though I knew it was temporary, I missed my homeland (USA) very very much. But I don’t regret having made both of these trips. It’s experience to draw from when I write.
Finding the best place to write is up to you. There’s no right or wrong setting. Whether you are writing an essay, poetry, short story, novel, or journal entry doesn’t matter.
Sitting on the beach, looking out at the sunset, and hearing the waves hover over the sand as they reach forward, will open your creative mind.
Imagine sitting and looking out at the mountains pictured above. Such a rich environment filled with so many possibilities abound.
Now this photo could go either way. Perhaps something romantic is brewing. On the other hand, maybe there is sinister intent going on.
Whichever setting you are in writing, take in your environment, work with it, and mold it to suit your creative juices.
