Give me Character!

It starts with one spark and then another. Sooner or later you've got an idea for a story or a character. Now what? Start writing about them. But you say I don't know what to write?

That's just what the answer is. I'll repeat my earlier answer, you start writing. Some of it is going to suck big time, but some of it won't and that's the writing you keep.
 
If you wanted to run a marathon you wouldn't just sign up and start running. Even athletes train for an upcoming race. You work up to it. Every dreary day, good or bad you get up and run. Maybe a mile at first then two and so forth, eventually you get there.  Just do it, like the Nike ad says.

Really it's that easy or in some cases that hard, but you work at it hoping for the end result. A good solid story, with great characters you know inside and out.


There are so many resources to help writers- write. One I like using is called; One Page Per Day. http://www.onepageperday.com
It's a great way to keep doing what you love and stay anonymous, cause sometimes it's hard to get pass the obstacle of sharing your writing. The best part is people can request more of your stories. (Positive feedback is always a plus.)

So if it starts with an idea,  what's you're idea? Tell me about it.

Rain, Rain, Stay Today

The rain fell to the earth in teardrop form drenching everything in sight. They formed puddles beneath the rubber of my yellow boots, as if waiting for me to jump and splash the people near me. I looked up at my parents. My father had his umbrella open, as he glared at the dreary day taunting him. But my mother was the exact opposite, looking as happy as the day that we...

Moonlit Lake

I woke to the sound of rustling in the bushes. I sat up and glanced around uneasily, looking for the source of the noise. Nothing. I peered towards the lake to see the silver moon reflected across the glass smooth water. Suddenly...

The Man I Never Knew

Before I had even taken my first breath he had already taken his last. I knew what he looked like from the pictures my mother had set around the house, but...

Bosley? Here Boy!

Bosley is the king of the castle. He's the first to chase away the birds, scamper after the squirrels and terrorize the chickens. He's in charge and if you think other wise he'll be the first to...

For The Love of Money

Even though I had known where the money had come from, I took it. I was sure it had been laundered, but I had done nothing illegal on my end to obtain it. Instead I would...

Redefining Gravity's Effects

No matter how many times I stood under the Rainier building, I still marveled at it's construction. Instead of tumbling to the ground it was a constant reminder that I too could defy the odds. There was always a good chance that...
