4/22 is Earth Day!

Family/Friends,

Have you heard of six-word essays or flash fiction? It's a unique genre of writing that focuses on sharing a meaningful story of idea in just six words.  The idea of very short stories and flash fiction began before the digital age, but has begun to thrive recently as people share their stories via social networks.

Here are a few six-word essays that folks posted online:

Many nations. One planet. Out Home - by Jessica

Healthier families, cleaner communities, stronger America - By Lisa

Breathe; A moment in nature. Breathe! - By Danny

Our only. Our one. Home planet. - By Jeanethe

Don't forget to do your part to make our planet a greener world.  Here's a link to things you can do every day: http://act.earthday.org/

Take are and until next time!

Writing is HARD work. There I said it!

Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles. We talked about how some writers can simply sit down on a computer and write on command; I cannot. My pre-writing process can take me ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or more and it usually involves me ‘getting in to character’; I need to connect with the hero and heroine before I can delve into their lives. It is then when I’m emotionally attached that ideas begin to form I’m able to capture the thoughts and the scenes and the story begins to unfold. I can tell you that when I begin to write a story, I too experience the same nervousness that a lot of writers feel. Will anyone read my stuff? Will anyone care about what I have to say? This is the fretful process of a writer, yet, we, I, push forward and write with excitement, optimism, and a lot of discipline. On an amusing note (or maybe not so) one thing that we, writers, often encounter is that non-writers tend to think that writing is easy.
