Long Time No Blog

It has been a while since I have blogged so I thought I would give you an update. I've been busy. I could go into it, but you don't really care do you? If you do, go check out my other identity.

As far as writing goes, I have started two Campfire Creatives at Writing.com. What is a Campfire Creative you ask?

Campfire Creatives are a fun and interactive way of writing with a group. Imagine sitting around a campfire with a group of your friends. The leader of the campfire begins a story that is then passed around the group for their input. With up to 25 participants, you never can tell where these are going to lead!

So one is called "Neverland" which is scifi/fantasy, and the other "The Adventures of Bouncy and Puppy". That one is erotica. If you would like to join one of them, email me and we'll talk about it. I think it will be fun.

I am also entering a couple of contests.

The Gentleman is hosting a contest. The Gentleman's Challenge #2. Well, I am trying to enter it. I haven't finished writing it yet. I made the mistake of reading other people's entries. They are sooooooo good! I'm a scared!

The other is a horror/scary contest hosted by Nathan Carter called An Obsession with Fear. I don't know if my entry is scary, but it scared the crap out of me!

So that's what has been going on with me.

Frankenstein, I Presume.

My best friend is right. I love writing. She said she has never seen me as happy and excited about anything, as I am about writing. What do I do? I go find some writing websites, join the community and get help with my writing, because, although I love it, I am not very good. They are wonderful people! They help me...a lot!

But it seems this is an obsession best shared. So I encouraged someone to join the site and write some stories. They keep telling me about a novel that they want to write. I am encouraging. I say why not start off with some short pieces, just to get in the groove, post them on the site and get some feed back. I watch carefully...the wheels are turning. Then, like gold has been struck, EUREKA!! They have a short story idea. Why don't you write down some notes on it, ideas, feelings things like that, I suggest. Type 'em up before you forget. Evidently that is a great idea. Off they run! Next thing I hear is giggling and fingers on a laptop. *shakes head* I've created a monster. The rest of the night, they had that same glazed over look that I get when I am working out an idea. *sigh*

I grumble, but deep down I am welling with pride. Did you used to watch The X-Files? At the end of the credits, a little boy's voice says, "I MADE THIS!" I love that! Might be my favourite part of the show. Anyway that is how I feel about said friend. I just may be lonely for a while...

And you know what? That's alright by me! *beaming with pride*





On a different topic, I had a nightmare that made me wake up yelling. That hardly ever happens. People wonder why I don't watch or read horror, well, this is why. I have TERRIBLE nightmares. I actually suffer from a few reoccurring ones, but I won't go into it. I was thinking, this dream would make a good story. The dream was about a haunted house and possessed furniture. The only thing that would have made it worse is if there were creepy kids in the house. The problem is, just like I don't read romance, I write it. I don't read or watch horror but now I want to tell that story. I am just not sure how to go about it. I may ask for some help from my writing buddy Descent (nathan carter) he does twisted really well. And yes, that is a complement.

And thank you to Descent for providing me with the pictures for this post. How talented is he? Bastard. Some people get all the luck. I hate with love... *snicker*
