200 words a day – Day #4

I have decided that I'm not going to limit myself to only writing 200 words a day. It just doesn't seem like enough considering the fact that I want to reach in mass audience. From this point forward I will be publishing short stories or vignettes on this blog. Some will fall in the fiction genre and others will fall in nonfiction. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that my overall goal with this blog is to get my name as a writer out there. Posting short snippets of my writing does not seem like the most effective way of doing that.

Another thing I want to make clear is that I am also indecisive when it comes to my writing. In other words, I may completely change my mind tomorrow. So, please bear with me and continue reading. I mentioned in previous posts, that I have trouble with deadlines. Well, I also have trouble coming up with story ideas. I am more than open to suggestions. Anything that will help give this blog some direction is more than welcome. I want my writing to have a purpose. Someday I want people to read my stories or maybe even these posts, if they still exist and again something useful from them. I'm not trying to sound conceited or anything but I want to be remembered not only for how I acted in life but the things I said. I want to have a positive impact on people and the world around me and I think one of the main ways I can be that is to write.

The Longest Ride pages 1 through 12

I have recently started reading Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel The Longest Ride. As far as I can tell, this novel is written from the perspective of different characters. In the first chapter, we meet Ira. I believe he is in his early hundreds. He spends much of the first few pages talking about the close relationship he had with his father. What I liked most about this particular section was that it showed how human Ira was. He is an elderly man who was shaped by the guidance of his parents and the love of his wife. Of the only part I didn't particularly care for was the appearance of Ira's late wife. It seems to me that Sparks used this premise in his last few novels but I can be certain. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this first chapter was the amount of history that was involved in it. It seemed slightly reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks’ first big novel The Notebook. I didn't get through his last novel so I planned on doing a series of blogs about...

I remember...

 When things used to be simple. They would visit every Tuesday. I would miss them ,the kids would fill up the house with noise  and excitement. Then we got custody and the world changed.  I learned how to share. I learned how to teach. I  and others learned how to dream big for them. We all watched them grow experiment and change

Dream catcher

. Dream Catcher She awoke from her dream, a male voice saying, "I thought our mothers' always won."             Above is the only snippet of information I can remember from a recent dream I had. It at first sounded like the male voice or someone I knew, from high school or below. Now however, I can't place it. Maybe it's to remind me that my mother has always fought for me, and she will continue to win every war.             I collect dream catchers, I've always wondered whether they really work. Several years ago now, I was searching through some of my personal items and I found a legend about dream catchers on some stationary. It was a legend out of South Dakota. To quickly paraphrase, it said that the person's nightmare is held in the web of the dream catcher. Then, the dream or nightmare parishes in the early morning light. Prompt cre...
