How does a short story writer get break the short story habbit and write an actual book? I feel like my stories are always a great "introduction" but never a book. They are beginnings, middle and ends; and even great first chapters. But how does one go from writing a short story to actual characters with depth; and interactions. When I get to chapter 2 I always feel like I am struggling for detail and power in my writing.
I feel like I have written everything in the first bit, but I do not have enough to keep going. But in reality I do have enough. I have several chapters in mind. But I do not know how to just "connect" the stories.

They are all about the same person and the people around them. They all have 1 simular theme. Each story is more and more powerful. I would like to make it a series of books. I am just stuck on how to stretch them all out and they still sound interesting. "Page turner's"

How do you create characters, keep up with character depth, keep going back and forth between character's and then some how bring them together.

I know the best thing is to write a outline of the book, and then write about it; but I keep falling into a trap of wanting to start the book with ideas, before the outline is finished, and also before I lose the idea.

And then a part of me just wants to write the book as a anthology. <if that is correct> but the anthology would actually be very depressing.. So I fight myself on it, and keep telling myself to make the book into something positive.

When a friendship dies out, and you think that it was the hardest thing to do. What I have learned is what I know. Count your blessings that the friendship made. Remember the good times. Do not dwell on the hard times. If you know you did not do any wrong do not dwell on how to fix it. If it is meant to be, it will come back and flourish. If it is not then it will also be okay.

And I have been battling whether or not I should try and fix it. Because I am tired of fighting. I am tired of stressing. But hardest of all, I am tired of crying. I have decided to accept that the person did not want to be friends with me any more. And I have learned that each passing day that I do not hear from her, it gets easier and easier.

Have you ever wanted to tell the world how you feel about things; specifically (facebook) but did not want to start drama?

I am currently in a rough spot. I have been "blocked" so to speak, by certain people that I was very close to on their "facebook" account. All because they do not understand me enough.

They do not know what is going on in my life; and just because we all had a disagreement; did not mean that I wanted to close them out. However, they closed me out anyway.

The hard part is, I was there for them, despite everything. And they have no clue what is going on in my own life. I told them this; and they blocked me anyway. They cried, when no one was there for them and I was there to pick up their pieces. Yet when it is my turn to need someone to talk to. They closed the doors.

Yeah, they might be upset with me. I get it. But all I did was say that I needed space to think, and figure things out. I was nice and sweet as usual. They closed me out anyway.

I have not shed a tear over this 'friend break up' ....I am not mad or upset... I am just left in awe. I do not even know why I care enough to write a blog about it.

Except.. I thought we had something. I thought we were better then that... but apparently not.

Recently I have been faced with a decision in life. To friend or not to friend.

Sometimes I find myself over engrossed in others lives.

Right now I feel peace. A peace that I have not felt in a long time. Because, I have decided to step out. Let GO.

What I do not know is, if I made the right decision.
Trying to love them from a distance. But it is not working. Thus far.

I feel there may be a time in my life that I may need more friends again. I just do not know how far I am willing to go to be someones friend.

I love WDC. I can talk to everyone and be unattached.

Maybe one day, I will understand friendship. But

for today,

I will dance in my forest of fairies.

When your brain is anxious: You go through your entire day with the same routine. You have a planned out sleep schedule. The only thing is you have an argumentative day. That was the only thing different. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, nothing at all is different. Sometimes when you go to bed, your brain just will not shut off. You toss and turn all night long. You have a bad dream. Wake up. Sit awake a few moments then go back to sleep. Just when you feel you are at your most comfortable sleep; your alarm goes off!

I hate this! Does anyone else have this issue? I mean, I could have the perfect day, or a disturbed one, and sometimes this will still happen! Why? It does not make since!

Have you ever been so tired that you can not write or do anything? But at the same time, you suddenly get stormed with ideas for good writing?

That is the question of the day. I would love for anyone to reply their experiences to this. What do you do if you are swarmed with ideas but you know you are too tired.

I know that I could just write them down in like bullet form. Sometimes the ideas exceed the bullet form though. I also thought about a recorder, but I am way worse at talking then writing :D

So what is your take on this? Comments please!

Book Idea

What is the ultimate page turner, but a book related on your own life? Lets face it. Most people say they do not like "drama" but our lives are naturally filled with it. Why not write about that?

Opinions?

Please take a moment and check out my blog. I really would like respectful opinions. Thanks.

Certainly did not want to start my blog out like this. But at the moment, that is what is on my mind.

I just had 2 really good days. Yet at the end of them I felt extremely depressed.

I do not have anything at all to be depressed about, so I find this very perplexing to me.

January 2nd 2018

Topic of the day: Will, Determination, Attitude

Welcome to the new year everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful year this year. Try and think positive, and know, (i believe) God will give us all strength.

I also believe that no matter your belief, we all can have a positive attitude in life. We all can go through life and make things happen that we put our mind to.

Sometimes it really is a Mind over matter thing. Sometimes no matter how bad things get we have to strive to keep going, and keep doing better.

This year, I plan on returning to school at age 31. I have a friend that did it at age 36 and recently GRADUATED. So I know it can be done.

I also plan on doing, finishing, and starting all kinds of things this year with the can do attitude.

So for the new year: just try and remember these things and you will prosper! Happy New Year fellow writers.

-Velicity-
