WORK TOGETHER AND SURVIVE

 

Remember this scene from the movie, GLADIATOR?

But you say, 

"I have no fellow gladiators."

You do if you get out of your own way.

There are many You's within your mind.

What has the Voice of Doubt ever

done for you?

Every wound, every blow

has taught you a lesson.

You are stronger now,

wiser now.

Use that wisdom, that strength

to unite your mind

and write better than ever before.

FOR THOSE OF YOU PREPARING FOR BED

 

PLEASANT DREAMS

HAS A MOVIE EVER INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE A NOVEL?

 

THE MUMMY inspired me to write DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE, 

set in 1895 Egypt peopled by Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Nikola Tesla, Lady Lovelace, and Winston Churchill among other historical figures

With adversaries such as star-stranded aliens, time-lost artifacts, and back-stabbing British politicians.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MOVIE AND

WRITTEN A NOVEL FROM THE INSPIRATION?

FOR WHOM DO YOU WRITE?

I am still writing my Amazon Vella, BLACK MAGIC.

I feel like Emily Dickenson ... unread but unbowed.

When fate threw two New Englanders, 

Emily Dickinson and Mr. Thomas Higginson, together on April 15, 1862, 

she didn’t ask if her verse was “publishable” or “good.”

She knew all along, didn’t she?

She understood poetry had to transport, had to be visceral, 

and had to find its way into our bodies.

So it is with our prose.

Chapter 38 just written is alive and visceral though none may ever read it.

In it, Gaia is reunited with her estranged son, 

Adam Black.

A private detective caught between worlds trying to stay alive by his wits while ignoring the "sage" advice of his Trickster father, Coyote.

Anguished, Gaia realizes no season may be undone.

But Adam tells her that the lessons so learned

may be used to take wiser steps

And perhaps so lead to better places.

For whom do you write and why?

Have you ever gone on without encouragement?

(BTW, the 1st 3 chapters are free)

SOMETIMES THE IMMENSITY OF THE STARS AWE YOU

 “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” 

- Marcus Aurelius 

Sometimes when I do blood runs late at night, I look up into the sea of stars and know I am not alone.

FB MUST HAVE FOUND A LOOPHOLE IN MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

 

FB must have found a loophole in my birth certificate or I've been unfriended by everyone!

Midnight and I know there are worse fates.

We were homeless for seven months.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

to Denise Covey and Alyssa McKendry

and everyone else whose birthday is today.

And to all who feel forgotten today ...

The Miracle of Life remembers your name.
