I wonder how our children would react without all of the commodities that they have now.<br /><br />I may only be 35, but I can remember not having cable T.V. as a child. We had an antennae that we received 3 very snowy channels on. We actually played outside and made up games to keep busy. I can remember playing Army, tag, and hide-and-seek. We'd roll down grassy hills at night and catch fireflies for fun. Receiving 2 Christmas presents back then was something very special. <br /><br />I guess I forgot to mention that I'm a coal-miner's daughter. My siblings and I used to race to my dad as he pulled in all black and dirty from work, just to get the leftover snacks from his lunch pail. <br /><br />I guess those stories will be another blog . :)ZM_Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597679206362292524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580452742126322027.post-51254693812079347702010-05-16T18:08:39.413-04:002010-05-16T18:08:39.413-04:00Your blog is great and this is one amazing post to...Your blog is great and this is one amazing post to come in on! <br /><br />We are definitely spoiled and take several things for granted.

And by complete, I don't necessarily mean published. I mean, I did it to the best of my ability, I rewrote it as many times as I had too... until I did the best I could and the story was complete, so complete I could not expound upon it. <br /><br />Once that day occurs, I am not sure if I will ever write again. If a story consumes me and I don't have a choice but to write about it, then I will. But it's something I can't control--the story must be told, I am just a tool to bring it out.<br /><br />If I had to create the story or come up with it in any way, I probably wouldn't be writing--it's just too much work and lots and lots of learning.<br /><br />Thx, and I wish you success as well.<br /><br />May all our hard work pay off.Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580452742126322027.post-7445635827475364692010-04-21T20:40:27.424-04:002010-04-21T20:40:27.424-04:00if you love... then there is still good in the wor...if you love... then there is still good in the world.Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580452742126322027.post-59076545528801961892010-04-21T00:31:33.437-04:002010-04-21T00:31:33.437-04:00I am glad you're posting...

He was asking about it the other day and neither of us could think of the title of it. I wanted to get it for him.<br /><br />He says all of the story didn't take place in the dark, that some of it did.

I posted a few pages to get an idea of what I was doing made sense to a stranger. It will help me grow I am sure of that. But it was hard to put work out there before I had anyone edit it. Or do a final revision of the work.<br />Best of luckJeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580452742126322027.post-88865050196422045612010-02-01T09:11:07.894-05:002010-02-01T09:11:07.894-05:00Thank you Jeff! After I read your post, I went to ...Thank you Jeff! After I read your post, I went to B&N and downloaded the e-book version of Stephen King's 'On Writing'. <br /><br />I live in a small town where there is absolutely no book stores around. The closest library is 25 minutes away, so the e-books through B&N and Amazon work out in my favor.<br /><br />I am beginning to write without revising anything. It is much simpler than what I have been doing, and is going much faster. When I start writing, I get lost into that world and the words just come out onto my screen without much thought. <br /><br />I will post a little of what I am writing on my blog soon, just as you did. I was worried about doing so, worried that someone might steal it lol.ZM_Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597679206362292524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580452742126322027.post-8494176796895819212010-01-29T23:55:48.221-05:002010-01-29T23:55:48.221-05:00Sorry I was in a hurry earlier; I sure hope an Ahh...Sorry I was in a hurry earlier; I sure hope an Ahh-ha moment happens for you. That is so liberating when your mind finally understands how to write the way your heart wants, or when you learn to write without effort. <br />Save the line by line editing until the revision stage and that should come after you have completed a manuscript in rough draft form.<br />If you make the mistakes I did, like doing it before you’re complete with the rough draft, you asking for triple the work and ten times the headaches.<br />I have no doubt if you want it bad enough you’ll find your way. Just remember writing is not about how many long or complicated words you use… it’s about how well you convey your story to the reader, so the world you’re trying to make is so vivid and alluring the reader can’t put your work down.<br />In fact I bet the simpler the verbiage; the easier the reader can connect to the story, because it flows better in their mind, allowing the brain the freedom to visualize the book, rather than trying to interpret complicated words and structure.<br />All I hope is - you find yourself in your work and you write the best way you know how… I have learned so much and I continually learn after every obstacle I have to overcome. There is no doubt you will find problems down the road; just know you’re the only one that can overcome them. You can let problems stop you or let them give you inspiration to become a better writer.<br /> Best of luckJeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.com
