| Hey! I had asked you to , try to write a story, with an outline I gave you. I suggested various, places; a hospital as the setting, a jail, a dark alley. How do you write? Do you like an outline, or just write from your heart and head. I do a little of both, I write from my head when, I write stories for this post. I only had a few of them pre-written. Go ahead, give it a try. Write a story somewhere, and let us know. You can also, look at my portfolio, and add to a story: Romantic getaway. You just, write a sentence or two, your friend writes a sentence and you keep it going. It should be real interesting, diffrent peoples, input on the same story. Talk, to you later---rixxie |
| Hey!! How's your April 2010, shaping up? I love the northern California, wheather is glorious today!! it looks like a second summer, i love days like this. It gives me a chance to dream of nice stories, to post on my blogs. You can check me out, on blogger, too: rixxies Playground. don't forget, to take a look at my art on RedBubble.com, under my username:"Qmarpat". I use that name for my art, mostly. And write under,the name rixxie. Stop by, my Zazzle.com/Qmarpat, store, I'm real thrilled with the new scrapbook binders, in my store. I have church binders, sports, graduation, put your pictue and name on it! make it your Own! They are less, than $20.00, without tax, I'm going to get a couple myself--charge them! I was still trying to find some, obscure videos, I told you about last year. I'm still trying to find, Rev. Jessie Jacksons', "Save The Children", movie. I think it will shock you, a little. it has a lot of stars, in it, a about 14 year old Michael Jackson. He was a tall lanky, bumpy face kid, Dianah Ross, refers to as: "My Baby- Ladies and gentlemen!!" The friend, that went to the drive- in, turned to me and said:"What's going on-did she birth that boy!?" I told her not, to start with me. If you have, a obscure, old or funny movie-(nothing vulgar or racist-please!), you want to find, ask here! I'll let everyone know. Take care-holler at you later--rixxie Hi- if you know where some interesting cultural stories and urban tales are let me know. I like main stream african-American cultural tales, I don't like the real dirty or off-color stories, of any kind. They are exciting in their own way, I suppose, and there is a market for it. I love reading other authors. If you've seen a book or a blog you like somewhere, I'd love to know about it. Don't be scared to take, a stab at writing your own! There are a lot, of sites you can start with for free, like blogger, and google blogs, and livejournal. You never know unless, you give it your best! Take care-rixxie |
| Hi! I did something, a little diffrent I asked, YOU-to write a story! Read the last post. I had found, a writing assignment from, a well known author, and writing teacher. You, were to write, a two page story about, the scenes i described and post it somewhere and let, readers know. I would share it, with my readers-Happy writing! Tomorrow, I'll outline some more story ideas. Take care-rixxie |
| Hi! I enjoyed writing,"Ask Patti". I took it in another direction, I wanted to conclude it, in a good way. It got bogged, down in the middle, due to technical, difficulties. I wanted to keep it in, a good, mode without saying, she got the whole world. I left room for you to, "fill in the blanks". This is an assignment, I just did from a famous writer. You write a two page story, from one of these scenes: (a)A hospital room,(b) A dark alley (c) A Church (d) A Jail cell, just write from your heart and your head. I picked, a church. When, you write your story, post somewhere, where we can see it ; blogger.com, or writingRaw.com, or googles', blogs, anywhere you have a journal. Those sites, I mentioned you can start them, for free. I chose, a church. I didn't post it here, but here's an outline: A man sitting, in a dark church, after service, with tears on his face. His best friend one of the deacons' come back, and talks to him. They discuss, his family and his finances, the deacon, offers suggestions. They go back, to his friends house, for dinner and some information.Don't forget, to drop me a note, when you write your story! Tell us where it is, I'll go read it. I'll tell everyone, about it, and that you stopped by. HAPPY WRITING-TAKE CARE- rixxie 4/19/10 |

| Dear Readers, and I don't say that lightly, I thank you so much, for being a reader. I enjoy, creating urban, cultural tales, so much-to have people who are into the stories, is just such a bonus! ON A MISSION-stories-Outline of Main stories 1) Annie May Annie May was, a survivor, of an alcoholic, first husband. She enjoyed the wit, and love, of her second husband, Jimmie. Her son was twelve, he got along with his step dad, like a buddy. That made, Annie, happy, she had worried , about them getting along. the first, marriage, had taken a toll, on her and her child. She was glad, that time and distance had separated him. As she watched, him, and Jimmie, show their company, how he had ran the church lady, out the house. It had been, a combination of a nasty, little dance, they both did, and too much magic shave. She new, she had found the love of her life. Clara -Jean 2) Clara-Jean, often, felt she lived for her mother; that she was her arms and legs. She didn't mind the endless trips, to feed the homless, and the lonely. The pots that cluttered her kitchen, and the masses of cooking tools, at her mothers'. Clara-Jean, fully supported, her mothers' church work. She was just hoping, one day in the piles of food, and stacks of clothes, she'd find , a little bit of her own life. 3) Itty-Bitty-Ol' Nasty Man I'll skip the sordid, details, of how little old Drunk willie Bopeson, came be known, as the; "Itty-Bitty-Ol-Nasty Man. You can, find his drunk, clowing self over in the park, on Saturdays, and Sundays. He'll be there long enough, to chase disgusted people away and do a dance. And wait for the Church ladies, who bring him some, warm homecooked meals. He could, be reminded, of his sweet late wife, if only for an hour. The Mighty Zay-eus 4) People, can only really guess, what really drove Zachery over the edge. It's hard to say at this, point. If it was just the fire; or the pink slip, and most probably, all of the above. Bigger, and more powerful men, have fallen, into a dark ugly place. Zachs', spirit, was still alive, despite all the ugliness, he had endured. You could tell; even as he lurked in the shadows, of a room full of guests. He would, come out of the shadows, briefly to offer, a small kitten, from his basement. |
