| How do you feel about the rising demand for audio books? Is this a good thing or bad thing for literature? As a writer, have you considered reading your work for audio books, podcasts or youtube? If an audio book can reflect the heart of the story being told then it's okay. Personally I still like reading and viewing the story on paper. On the screen as well. Overall I think it is a bad thing. Because those who rely on listening all the time lose the senses that might otherwise be engaged in the written form. Especially if the book is an illustrated book originally. The listener can stop the reading and reflect on what may have been said, but they miss the texture and feel of those words that might have impacted them. Reading is a personal, multi-sensual experience. You can't get that from listening to a tape. Granted for those who have lost their sight and rely on the other senses to experience life the audio book is a good fit. People learn in so many different ways that there are good arguments for audio books and the written form. Depending on your situation it is important to be engaged in life one way or another. Therefore I'll have to say no I don't think I would record any of my material in audio book format simply because I'm old school and my voice cannot tell the whole story. And that is the key. To get the whole story from the source of the matter. |
| Prompt: How do you chill out or relax when you're too tired to think? Can you be too tired to think? I will often listen to the Bible on YouVersion. www.youversion.com; and by the time that is done I feel relaxed enough to get some sleep. Sometimes my mind is spinning so fast that I just have to stop what I'm doing and write it out. A lot of what I write that looks like it is all a jumble is the result of that; writing it out; and then I do revise it when I have time. You can't be too tired to think, because you're doing it all the time, but there comes the time when what you're thinking makes no sense. I've experienced that but don't remember what I did to get past it. More than likely I came here and read someone else's thoughts through reviewing and suddenly all seems a little calmer in my mind. Relaxing is one thing that some people just don't do. I'm not one of those people. I have to stop and smell the roses, eat or even listen to the Bible, because if I don't I am far more tired than I should be. I don't believe in meditation; but I do believe in meditating on the Word of God; doing this is also a way for me to relax. There's something alive in the Word and if you give it a chance you will see that it is here to your benefit. You are beloved and that's the truth! Copenator out! B.C.O.Frs united!

| I will write anything but "something." "Something" is so vague and hollow. It needs to be "something" more, an addition to the thing. The writer in me want's to fill up that which is shallow. That which has no pen meeting paper, Screen that is blank and without purpose. What can you do with "something" beloved? Will you fill it in or just let it stand and wonder what "something" is really about? Let 'er rip! Copenator out! |
| Let's discuss writing critiques or reviews. How do you handle giving or writing critiques in general? Is it more important to just give praise than to actually note what needs work? Or is more important to address what needs work and save the praise? Or do you try to balance both areas? Is it different doing it online like here in WDC then it is in real life where you are seeing the person face to face. I've actually never had any experience with critiquing a persons work face to face. I know some people can be so defensive of their work it seems like they are going overboard. I think it's possible to get past that point if you can get the person to see that there is good within their "piece' and the suggestions for improvement will help enhance and improve the reading of their piece by others. When I review online here in the WdC, I look for the positive; hit the highlights and let them know how well the piece flows. When I see something that needs to be brought to their attention, I let them know why the suggestions are being made and so far I've had no reviewee lose his/her temper. Reviewing helps both people involved. It's a passion I learned here on the WdC and I'm forever grateful. Another thought provoking prompt and thankful I was able to pop in and see it. Miss it when I'm not able to be here as much as I want and that's the truth. Copenator out! |
