Strangely, my 'want to write' is not connecting with any real effort. But I think I know why.

Heart AND Head! by Hobo Poet 5/21/2013 10:03:10 AM
In my experience, moving any story forward begins with a deep emotion or feeling which is then shaped logically and sensibly. That's easy to say but much more difficult to do.
In STRANGE RIVERS, I have drawn upon feelings at the moment, then... more

Maybe That Wasn't A Good Idea! by Hobo Poet 5/20/2013 6:56:24 AM
For the second time in my life, I'm really bedeviled by allergies! After our record breaking wet Spring, everything is growing. I got up this morning, checked my lawn - which I cut only six days ago - and realized I had to do it again.
And t... more

Creative "Stuff" Is There! by Hobo Poet 5/19/2013 2:15:42 AM
Physically, I'm still struggling with this 'Valley Fever' or whatever it is. But on a deeper level, the creative "stuff" I need to move the writing forward is there. My dreams lately have been rich, vibrant and endlessly complicated.

Not By Will Alone by Hobo Poet 5/18/2013 7:01:25 AM
From my experience, it's not enough to WANT to write; the act of writing is more one of complicity. Both the inner and outer worlds must be favorable; then the writing comes naturally.
I've been reminded of that the last couple of weeks. I'v... more

Youtube Video by Kim M. Brooks 5/15/2013 9:06:43 AM
Back in 2003 when "The Devil's Triangle" was published, I immediately received criticism since I was a Jehovah Witness at the time.

It's Possible! by Hobo Poet 5/14/2013 4:06:29 PM
A good friend and fellow writer has ALMOST convinced me to continue with Authorsden. "Some exposure," she insists, "is better than no exposure."
