Metaphors

Monday, January 30th, 2012

When I used to write fiction and poetry, I would strive for metaphors. My thinking would be something like this: “I need a good metaphor here.”

Then I would try and try to think of a metaphor. Sometimes I was successful, sometimes not. I’m speaking of hours and hours and maybe days and days where I’d work hard, trying to capture the just right metaphor. I remember staying up until three in the morning one night without success.

In Godwriting™, from the very beginning, metaphors pop up at will. (more…)

Another writing hint

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

This writing hint applies to fiction-writing.  And, no, dear Charles, sad to say, this isn’t the brilliant idea I had thought of earlier and then forgot!

This is something I read somewhere long ago, and it seems that a lot of fiction writers never heard of it. (more…)

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Actually, I learn a lot! Every day I learn something.

This is a relative world thing I learned.

You remember that true story I told about (more…)

Writing Hints

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

I love writing, and I love talking about writing, all writing. Godwriting™ is its own category. Godwriting™ stands the way it comes in so I’m talking about creative writing right now.

In my case, even in business writing, I don’t know what I’m going to say until it actually writes itself down. As I know it, in all writing, when we initially write, we have to release ourselves from status quo and boundaries so what we write is allowed to be fresh and new — well, creative. As God in Heavenletters™ says, we “gotta let go.” (more…)

Where does fiction come in

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

When Heaven Admin and I get together in South Africa, we will work on an online Godwriting™ workshop, a How to Godwrite™ book,  the website upgrade, ebooks etc. and, also, a couple of his outstanding projects are raring to go full-steam ahead.

Heaven Admin is strong and focused, and he will keep me on the straight and narrow and make these happen.  I envision a firm schedule where we apply ourselves first to these projects and then a few diversions. (more…)

God bless Andrew Carnegie

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Andrew Carnegie from Scotland was the man who started libraries. Libraries sure caught on. I don’t know what I would have done without public libraries and the books I could take out so easily. Books are my companions, and some have stayed in my heart from childhood on. I cannot imagine a life without books and easy accessibility to books. (more…)

If I were a stand-up comedian

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Warning: Do not read unless you are over twenty-one years of age.

It occurs to me that if I were a stand-up comedian, I would have sick humor. So I’d better not share any of this with you.  Oh, well, but I will. (more…)

God is saying

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

God is saying: Listen to every impulse. Go give it a whirl.

This is the opposite of resisting. How many times has God said that? How many times have I heard that, and yet I have resisted some impulses over and over again. I have turned them away. (more…)

Sticking with it

Kathryn Stockett is the author of The Help. I read The Help a while ago. I did mention the book  in a blog. I had to return the book to the library before I had made the time to write a real review.
