Stories to write by...?

Bloggers can create quite a fuss. All this can also take controversy directly to the publications one writes for and the books one has published.

Loh was also associated with the decidedly nonmusical group that called itself “The Olive Starlight Orchestra,” along with computer graphics experts Greg Turk and Eric Enderton, Rhythm and Hues co-founder Keith Goldfarb, physician/poet Jan Steckel, Academy of Motion Pictures activist (and fine-arts scanning pioneer) David Coons, law professor and activist Susan Crawford, and neuroscience-popularizer David Linden. Goldfarb, impressed with Loh’s intellect and ability to rally people around various causes, began a small coterie he referred to as “The Sandra Loh Fan Club,” or SLFC. Many of her friends and acquaintances simply called her “S’loh,” in much the same spirit that Eric Clapton earned the nickname “Slowhand” (though in Loh’s case it was the quickness of her mind that inspired the pun

The dead still teach us beyond the grave. How easily we forget and neglect the power of their word, or fragmented pictures of what they endured and saw in their lives. Be us the writer today, it may behoove us to listen and reflect upon these words. Words, visions, and structure can provide each with a springboard for them to fly off into the ethers, that the jumper may experience or transcend what already has been demonstrated.

I am listening to a video about MArianne Moore whilst also listening to Annabel included here. I beg you to experiment. I included these two videos to speculate on what can be inspired from old scripts. Oh Raven come now share your secrets with me and any who will listen.

Write and capture our lives now in your song, and let the muses fill our verse with everlasting meaning. TRy this listening to two at once. Behold the metaphor dancing in our words. Write!

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction.[1] He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.[2]

He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; his parents died when he was young. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. After spending a short period at the University of Virginia and briefly attempting a military career, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe’s publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to “a Bostonian”.

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem “The Raven” to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.[3]

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such

Missed getting this online early enough. However it reminded me of the deep and perplexing work that Ms. Proulx has accomplished. So let’s get some extra information below. I checked out some biographical information and found there are still more books by Aniie Proulx for me to read! Thus I am posting a second blog on her works. I was startled not to find more yourube videos about her.

imagination circles and rocks

It’s hard to beat these 2 videos. As writers want to expand their words from text to video or radio (audio) may switch around whaat you might want to say. The old bards found an easier transition, both my memorizing verse or old texts, and then by using song to tell their story.

Your well crafted script may lose its power when tranlated to audio. Sometimes you must imagine how the audience will hear what you want to say. Words then must create conversation and pictoral scenarios. Yes the audience must be able to immediately visualize what is transpiring.

Video provides more challenges. Will the person be comfortable relating verbal iniformation with image? Can the dialogue hold the viewers attention? Will the message empower the viewer?

Given these elements of text, the writer becomes consumed with the multiple inputs necessary to capture the audience’s imagine in very concise clips. How will you arrange image and audio to enhance your work?

If you are confident about procedures to address these issues, please feel free to comment her and we can start a dialogue.
Feel free to copy and share these thoughts. Also feel free to contact me about stories you would like to sahre.

Hopefully this is not a repeat. If it is, my apologies. The National Latino Writing COnference has many talented writers and faculty prepared to discuss important information and issues regarding publishing and writing for Latinos. I hope many educators also attend to learn more about their potential students. True writers never attend school and learn along the way to find their voice and style.

Don’t miss this packed full of information event. If you can’t attend, connect with faculty to see if videos and transcripts will be available.

Look where others pass by, and riches will be yours

This fine video can provide much insight for you as a writer. Actually as I love Canada, someday I may even read this mystery. Writing always challenges the writer. Penney mentions that sometimes imagination provides greater results than the research. I prefer knowing the landscape, cultures, so that I might visualize the richness of place as a landscape painter might. At that point my questions gallop forth to the adventture that emerges from place and feeling.

Everyone has their own method to get the work started. Once begun the process unfolds as mystically as the historical elements you seek to capture. Perhaps writing also creates a game of hide and seek. The characters give you glimpses of who they are and what will unravel as you move into their territory and mindset.

Characters too can take on a life of their own helping you can experience about their relationships to nature, otehr people, and even props. Your success rests on their development and believeability. Unfortunately the writer has greater competition than ever with all the elctronic media that makes a story easy to consume.

Alas sculpting with words provides better for exercise for each brain willing to engage in the adventure. May your words compel the reader to walk alongside you and drink of the magical word…

Judith Ann (J. A.) Jance (born October 27, 1944) is an award-winning[citation needed] American author of mystery and horror novels. She writes at least three series of novels, centering on retired Seattle Police Department officer J. P. Beaumont, Arizona small-town sheriff Joanna Brady, and Diana Ladd Walker. The Beaumont and Brady series intersect in the novel Partner in Crime, which is both the 16th Beaumount mystery and the 10th Brady mystery.

Jance was born in South Dakota and raised in Bisbee, Arizona (the setting for her Joanna Brady series of novels). She is a graduate of the University of Arizona. Before becoming an author, she worked as a school librarian on a Native American reservation, as a teacher, and selling insurance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._A._Jance

Ah, the details of what happens after selling life insurance! I used to sell insurances. Your homework assignment is to find 20 helpful clues to how to expand your expertise from what you learn about J.A. Jance.

Ever been to Bisbee AZ? How big is it? How many writers live there? My real point is that no matter where you start, you can create a fantastic journey as a writer. Also could you learn skills to produce as many books as JA Jance? This takes a real love of writing and true discipline to get the job completed!

Let’s go explore another writer.
