Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

Where has this been all my life? I think the stories have been waiting for me to hear them again. It’s interesting–and sometimes tragic–what life does to creativity. Pictures have been going through my mind this morning of when I was young. Very young, pre-teens. If I didn’t have a book in my hands, I [...]

Are you a morning scribbler, or an afternoon one, or not a scribbler at all? These are my important questions of the day. I am pretty sure I’ve written about this site before, most likely a year or so ago when I first found it. 750 Words says of itself: I’ve long been inspired by [...]

Um… yes, again. I think, probably, that I will start a few more times as well. The way I figure it, this is my first time writing a book, so this is my practice time. Especially when you consider that I’ve not been in any creative writing classes, so have not had the benefit of [...]

Both in terms of the site being up (in case anyone but me noticed it was down for a couple of days), and in terms of being here instead of elsewhere. I have, as I mentioned before, been Tumbling along. I like it and I don’t like it, and I have thoughts as to why. [...]

It’s terrible, I know, that we have all this software for PCs, but the one we didn’t have – Scrivener – was the one I really wanted and couldn’t get. Until now. Yay! It’s still in beta so it’s free for now, as long as you are willing to put up with a few bugs… [...]

Red. That is the short answer I give whenever someone asks that question. But if you look through my home or my wardrobe there is hardly anything red to see. Oh, maybe a splash here, and you can catch a glimpse there, but nothing to indicate that, of all the colors, red is the one [...]

I know, it seems just a tad narcissistic to interview myself, doesn’t it? Not to mention the asking myself questions and then answering myself aspect. I had a few reasons I wanted to do this, though, besides a fascination with my own navel. I will see if I can adequately explain them. I think first [...]

I am terrible at blog rolls, but better at making lists of stuff I think is interesting, or important, or useful, so that’s what I’m using my Pages for, mostly. I’m also trying to build up a resource type thing as well as introduce myself (and everyone else) to new sites, so my plan is [...]

I woke up early this morning to write. Or, rather, I woke up early this morning – 3 am – and decided not to go back to sleep, but to write instead. I’m not sure that worked out too well, because I have little to show for it but a pile of disconnected thoughts and [...]

I mentioned some time back that I was going to open up my “book writing and research” site but I don’t think I ever gave the address. Anyway it’s called The Book of Louis and while it’s still a bit scattered, it is open. I’ll pull it all together soon.
