Writing Woes

Posted on by L. M. Montes

Have you ever felt like there are no words left in you? Have you ever had one of those days when the writing world of words is stacked against you? Your computer “talks” back to you. Your work won’t open the way it’s supposed to. The program you use won’t respond. You know it works because you just used it the day before. What do you do?

Well, in a situation such as the above, I would stop and put my writing away. Because, truth be told, something is telling you not to write at that time. I know that sounds strange, but it’s true. I had a day like that today. It appeared as though the deck was stacked against me. So I stopped trying. I’ll go back to it tomorrow.

Blessings to you oh Israel,
God’s people may you stand,
In strength and honor, you are loved,
And held in Jesus’ hand.

Magnetized by L. M. Montes

Within the eyes lies
the soul that
magnetizes the heart
and pulls you in.

Resist, you can not
pull away from him
whose eyes draw
you forth into them.

Against his chest
you lay your head
as he lifts your chin
for a gentle kiss.

The Circle of a Writer’s Life

When you’re a writer, a full-time writer, going to work isn’t like having a regular job where you go to work and do the same thing every day. At least it isn’t like that for me anyway. My day is a hodge podge of different experiences, events, conversations, activities, etc… Why is it like this? Because I’m constantly creating. Yes, even when I’m not writing, I’m writing. I seek fiction in the nonfiction world of reality.

When I hit a brick wall in my story, I go for a walk to relax my mind and think of possible solutions. Talking to people is a great way to find great dialogue for any story. Although, most of the time you might end up changing parts of it to suit your story. A boat ride or a day at the beach is fun and. Write your experience down in your writing journal.

So, in a nutshell, the circle of a writer’s life is different each day.

Freedom: An American Poem by L. M. Montes

Posted on by L. M. Montes

Turn your eyes up to the sky,
the sun shoots you a glint,
a light, a warmth, a tender smile,
from beams of perfect mint.

A gray that creeps and grows,
now reaches with its clutches,
its evil now it plants and sows,
and grabs all that it touches.

Its messages now blacken,
the lightening strikes the soul,
a crack, a thunder, morals slacken,
the attitudes are coal.

But the eagle now takes flight,
its wings woosh guiding light,
to We The People in the night,
who now will stand and fight!

You Are The Sun by L. M. Montes

Your light it shines and warms the hearts
of family and friends who never part,
though unpredictable you be,
you sparkle through the clouds to me.

On days of gray and rain that spatters
warmth you give cause none of that matters,
however blurred your beams are splotched,
your radiance to my heart does touch.
