I saw this post a bit late, sorry for that. <br /><br />I figured the update had to be coming soon, then read it would be a week after the S9. It was sad seeing it stuck on the December security update. But it's here now and it's great. VoLTE is awesome.

If nothing is coming out, it's best to just write anything that comes to mind, continue to write until you start writing what you need. Then you can go back and erase all the things you don't need. This exercise helps with getting thoughts and ideas out. Also, try writing out a story from start to finish, don't stop to edit or anything. Just get everything out. Then afterward, you can go back and make any necessary edits. <br /><br />I hope I could be of some help. Thank you for your comment, John. <br /><br />WCMWilliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05886046721794322044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619504835690751412.post-69360382743299329772018-07-24T10:12:01.777-04:002018-07-24T10:12:01.777-04:00As with a lot of times during this life, the writi...As with a lot of times during this life, the writing bug hits in waves, much like the dreaded rollercoaster of fortune. Sometimes the writing comes as natural as breathing, others I can force out (don't really like to do this, but necessities and all...). Then there are times like now when there are just no words coming to mind.<br />I am in process of trying to add at least 700 words to a piece of flash so I can submit to an anthology by October 31. Sure, I seem to have plenty of time, I just wanted to get it in before the date gets too near. I'm always getting a sub in just before or on the final date and wanted, for once, to be early.John T.

Ready? <br /><br />There are so many things in my life that have made me who I am today, both good and bad, that I have to agree that most things happen for a reason. If not for some really bad relationship choices, I'd still have shit self-esteem. I wouldn't have learned to stand up for myself or to take chances. I'd definitely never have shared my writing. For a long time, writing was a private/secret thing I did just for me, because I never imagined I'd ever be "good enough" for someone else to even want to read it. I still wrestle with self-doubt sometimes, but not for long and it's easier to push it aside. ;)<br /><br />Life experience has also shaped <i>what</i> I write. Horror just seemed like a logical genre for me, because it examines those dark places we avoid. For example, growing up, we had very little money. We were still happy, for the most part, despite wearing second-hand clothes and eating things like mustard sandwiches because it wasn't payday and that's all that was left in the house. (Remember when bread was cheap? Sigh) My parents battled alcoholism and abuse for years, before they got to a point where they were both healthy and happy, and the shit from their pasts wasn't making them terrible to each other. I was sixteen before I saw what a stable home looked like (although I always knew I was loved). As dark as it seemed sometimes, that childhood struggle helped me understand that no situation is ever black and white or as simple as right or wrong. It definitely influenced how I develop the characters in my stories. In horror, the ability to see and explore those grey areas is important. And I know what it's like to have pretty much nothing, so a writer's income is something I can work with.<br /><br />I actually wrote a fictionalized memoir (had to put some killing that never happened in to make it more exciting) as a writing exercise. It won't be published, because it's depressing and no one wants to read that shit, but it made me realize how much of the good parts of who I am developed because of bad or negative experiences. So, as much as I didn't enjoy those parts of my life, they were worth it to be where I am now.

I prefer vlog cause it is easier to produce, as long as you're comfortable with a rough take, and take some time to collect your thoughts before hands. Stretching yourself thin can drain you of just about any desire to actually write. <br /><br />I would say follow with what you're comfortable with. If you need time to relax then take that, too. I am the WORST at taking time to relax for me. Those moments are the nights after a podcast where I can smoke on a cigar and have a beer on the back patio, enjoy the night, the quiet, the air. <br /><br />Mr Deadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645112848925350181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619504835690751412.post-61090305267766324222018-03-29T09:04:19.552-04:002018-03-29T09:04:19.552-04:00The reading backwards sounds familiar, and interes...The reading backwards sounds familiar, and interesting.

I have two tricks that I use to short-circuit the creative side of my brain and put my brain into critical mode. One is to read the story backwards, starting with the last page and ending with the first. The other which I just adopted, is to edit the even number pages first and then edit the odd number pages.

However, even if they opt to, there's always the question on how to do that tastefully, and that's a topic for a different conversation altogether.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792591424970834976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619504835690751412.post-75110622776170699592018-03-15T01:14:28.171-04:002018-03-15T01:14:28.171-04:00I usually have about three to five active writing ...I usually have about three to five active writing projects going at once. That way, if one piece is refusing to be written, I can turn to another WIP and work on that.<br /><br />Unfortunately, sometimes a story cools down and I wind up really setting it aside. Thus, I have about 40 unfinished works sitting in dead tree journals (I rough draft things longhand), and 10 that are finished, but need to be typed. Been picking away at the completed stuff, trying to type those up with a view to (eventually) finding homes in print for them. All things in good time!R.C.
