Well, 

There is a reason why writers tend to be alone, it's difficult and certainly rude to write around new friends. You'd rather get to know them instead of the characters in your story. Sometimes they even become characters in your story. But being alone brings out the characters within. 

The beautiful part about writing a story is that it can be completely made from your imagination and relatable to the onion about you. When around other people, there are inevitable influence and misdirection that you're confronted with.

Unless I'm writing a personal biography, which, in case you were wondering, I am not. Yes, the characters will have similar experiences elaborated for effect that could be relatable to my life, there is a little bit of processing through my experiences in there. Growth. It's all there so far in my mind. 

People distract me, because I love them so much and want to give them all of my attention as a selfless act, I lose myself and my own direction. So I need to focus on the characters I'm working with inside my story. 

I want to relive some stories I look back on and maybe they make the other choice, the, in retrospect better one. Would it have been worked out better or worse? I work it out the other way around imagining the other persons challenges and feelings going into it. 

Today's blog is dedicated to getting me to sit down and start writing. No more distractions. 

My plan for today is to work out the story board. I have some beautiful colors to work with and a lot on my mind that needs to be drawn out. I'll plan it in a comic book form to help visualize the words and story, maybe when it's all said and done, I'll share the process beyond the words. Promising you that makes it more pressing that I complete the task. The only thing that I finally had to do was turn the AC on. I couldn't think much longer trying to conserve electricity. I was dying of heat over here in real life. I didn't want to waste electricity, but being sticky made me crazy. Yikes. 

I loved taking advantage of the adventure while I traveled and I ran into some memorable experiences and wonderful people, now I really need to get to work if I ever want to finish this. Having conversations about peoples point of views did help a lot. I noted some of them and I'm taking that information with me. I'm grateful to have gotten the feedback I did get from people about their life and also my work. My own little documentary. 

My fingers and mind are feeling pretty loose and ready for this day. Thank you for tuning in. Feel free to message me through my contact link for any requests haha. 

I was just thinking about what I would want people to contact me about, and I guess, I'd love a story request. Feel free to let me know something you'd like to see me write, I'd be up for the challenge, and it would be a lovely pastime. That's if you'd like my page to be more interactive. It will take me time to learn the coding to enhance this page more since that is a whole other task from writing. But I am here and happy to work with you creatively. 

Some of my work is a lot of word play, since lyrics to me are beautiful and poetry has always just hit different. I absolutely love the music that plays with it. So, if that gives you any ideas, I'm here! Reach out. 

Now to get to work on breaking this story out into parts.

As Always,

Thank You For Reading <3
