Looking at what causes writers difficulty in getting started.
Do you have trouble getting started on writing projects?
  •   5 comments
I start off with an outline, so that helps a good bit.
I have trouble finishing some projects. There's one that's been in progress for a few years now. I've written and completed other pieces in the meantime, just hit a block with this one. I'll be sure to post on the Newsfeed when I finally complete it.
I'm having trouble connecting both ends of a story. I know how I'd like a climax and conclusion to go. The introduction was easy enough, but the build to the climax is where I'm stuck.

Dave Ryan Author Icon - That's retirement!
Seeing orange neon lights in the cornfield at midnight. There were two rows of them and the ones behind the front ones disappeared. A Halloween joke?
Saturday, I was at a craft show with my son while waiting for the show to end so we could haul stuff to the car, there was an incident in the Ladies bathroom, and they needed a cleaning crew, so they were sending everyone who need to use the bathroom on to another bathroom down the hall. One lady apparently couldn't make it and was told to just use the men's room. (I don't care, use the men's room, she was told). So, the lady stops at the door to the men's room, cups her hands to her mouth, and shouts 'incoming' and rushes through without waiting. I suppose there is something to be said about 'incoming', right?

A note about that school-it was a well to do school for sure. It had several gyms and one of the gyms had weight equipment lined up in it with row after row of them. Like 70 to 80 of them! I am from a small town and not used to such things. People scare me and being subjected to thousands and thousands of them was disconcerting. I survived, though. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

How do you remember your departed loved ones?
Can our thoughts and feelings be forgotten after we leave the earth?

What? Are we leaving Earth? I don't think we will lose our thoughts and feelings. Even though they won't be national headlines or famous quotes (well some of you will), my family will remember them.
Tomorrow is my Dad's first death anniversary.
I'll always remember him!

A look at NaNoWriMo and other challenges that one can do for writing.
Have you ever taken on a big writing challenge? Which one has been your favorite?
  •   10 comments
Trying to do my own sci-fi epic crossover without copycatting someone else's antagonist (too much).
I did October Novel Prep Month, and I am trying to work on NaNoWriMo now. I take on big challenges like this all the time. It is the only way I am encouraged to flesh out the bigger projects that I am always getting ideas for. I've even taken on Novel Writing Months on my own accord. See if you can do 30,000 words in February......

I entered (and won) the 2009 WYRM Gauntlet as a young Preferred Author. It was heady stuff going up against some great WDC writers.

I tried to find if that contest still existed--it had been moved off site at one point. Alas, I couldn't find it or anyone involved with it. Search under "wyrm" and you can still find a few very good stories written for the contest.

Strange roads and streets
Where are we going?

On a one-way street, the wrong way.
One way street into the devil's cul-de-sac.
Interesting question. We may think we know where we are going but adventure lurks around every corner, bandits lurk in the bushes and the cavalry stands ready to ride to the rescue too. As my wife often says, it's a crap shoot.

It just appeared in the inbox at the circulation desk. No one in the library knew who had delivered it. A plain manilla office sized envelope. No writing on it. No stamps. Just a sealed envelope. Should it be opened? Who should open it?
Eric is really suprised as he notices the letter on the desk. As usual he spends the weekend in the local libary because he doesn´t want to spend time with his parents. Ten minutes ago he left the desk where he usually sits and reads to put a back a book on the shelf. As he returns with a new book and a cup of coffee, there is a letter lying on the top of the desk. His name is written on this letter in beautiful writing. Eric wonders who put it there. Were there other people surrounding him? He can´t remember and at least now there is nobody in sight. Curious about the contents of this letter he opens the envelope and ...
