Reading to Improve Writing

I’m always looking for ways to improve my writing. I try to write every day; I keep a journal. Whenever I read a particularly good book, I write a review for myself. Sometimes I’m so impressed with the author’s writing style, the seamless way in which a story is told combining all the right elements, in the right proportion, I study the author’s technique; not for the purpose of imitating his/or her style, but to understand what makes one author’s writing stand out from another’s.   In most…See More

Why I enjoy Writing Workshops, Conferences and Book Festivals.

Most writers know that writing is a solitary activity. On the one hand, when I write I need as few distractions as possible to get my thoughts in order, to hear the muse speak to me, and to block obstacles to creativity. (Well, maybe a little music helps.) On the other hand, I also need to participate in activities that will stimulate me, enhance my knowledge of my chosen field, and broaden my experience as a writer. That’s why I find occasionally attending…

Journaling: An important tool for writers

Posted on August 31, 2009 at 1:18pm 1 Comment

I began writing a journal when I read Anais Nin’s Diaries years ago. I’d checked it out of the library and became fascinated with her account of her friendship with Henry and June Miller and other artists of the early part of the twentieth century. Before long I was hooked by that style of writing. I’d started keeping a diary, and on rare occasions when I could remember, I’d record my daily activities. Then I’d lock it, anyone who really wanted to see what I’d written could have easily opened… Continue

Can you hear me now!!! Here comes One OOWEE Under GOD, with personal and dramatic POETRY (A LIFE IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER & A LIFE GETTING IN SPECIFIC ORDER), gripping and venting SHORT STORIES (PEACE, BE STILL) and a blazing novel titled The Spices In Life; it's becoming soooooooooooo amazing.

January 2010 will sum up all my literary hardknocks up to this point. My creativeness touching on everything that I hope to become and, what has taken me so long in getting there (here). Had it not been for the Lord on my side, I don't know where I'd be, I can guess though; let's see, locked up or locked under.

Days don?t look as
glorious when
your heart?s
been shattered.
It seems
time takes,
as the itty
bitty ?peaces?
struggle to
get together
again.
I looked
out into
the sunshine
and saw
nothing;
but light.
The grass
seemed to
get greener
in an instant.
I thought
it was light
blue shaded
with whites
and grays
and birds;
the sky.

Love YA!

FREEDOM
I wanted to be left feeling invisible because to remember would be unfeeling; compassionately socializing with the enemy shouldn't deliberately weigh on my feelings. Why would my sanity truly depend on your survival; that can't be. Why can't the feelings of being down have its window shut; spilling to the ground. The explanation of when I rage; has been shut up so long that I've forgotten the rules and pleasures to openness; if there's really still a place for me. The only thing that's changed is that the applause is only quieter. The bright lights of 'insane'; frightening nights is what my soul knows to be forgotten amongst the sane. I try not to weep or willow but out-casted is, as out-casted does. Don't cry for me because I hide part the way; let's get it straight. My forgetting my whole self because I have been born again and again and again and...; I ain't mad, I go on. How do you unscramble a rattled mind that's struggling to be born again with the hope I have left; I've lived in the flesh, now die in the Word. God has plans for me, as soon as I figure at what they are.
Kim Wilson

Still LOVE YA!
