Making changes

I have come to realize that my format my need to worked on a bit. I have been working on my other blogs getting them set up so that they are presentable and have a format that followers can use. Blogger has been a learning experience but one that I am coming to appreciate.

So watch out for changes and updates.

Writing

Sitting here writing out a scene and I have to keep pausing because I think I am making too hot for even me to handle. I guess it goes without saying that when you have an imagination like crazy you never know what you will come up with.

I am supposed to be working on my paranormal novel but right now that is not the one that is speaking to me the loudest. I used to think I was losing my mind when things would play out in my head and I would have conversations with the story. Now I know better. Can I say it has been truly worthy while getting it all down.

The next step in my process will be getting all the imagery together so that my readers will be able to see it as I see. All of its glory will shine through the words I have put on the page. I love writing. I don't know that there is much that compares with it. It is tough but it makes for an awesome experience.

Looking at the world in a different way and knowing we all don't have the same visual is what makes every experience unique and makes the writing world such a pleasure past time. I can not wait to share my vision.

Now I must get back to the world of creativity.  Until next time

Need to be Motivated

I have been neglecting this blog and this is the one that should be nearest and dearest to my heart because I love to write. I don't know maybe I feel like I am getting more attention with my other blogs but I can't leave my passion behind. I need to find focus and be motivated to not only get this blog up and running but also to get my novels on the ball.

I was trying to find a way to stay organized. I don't like using a bunch of folders and things like that because I can never remember which one I put what I am looking for in. I use notebooks from time to time but again I forgot where I put them and what I was writing down. It becomes frustrating. I want to complete a novel and make it one worth reading but I in order to do that I need to have all my ducks in a row.

I started reading First Draft in 30 Days by Karen Wiesner again and realized that I needed a better way to organize my ideas and thoughts. So I log onto my computer and I see OneNote come up. I haven't used this program in quite some time. Reviewing it and looking a tutorial I see that this is the answer to my problem.

OneNote has some very key advantages that Word or my notebook doesn't have. For instance. I am able to create a notebook specifically for the book I am working on and within this book I can create tabs for notes and my outline. I can also create pages under those tabs to represent specific items or characters for that topic.

I mean the light bulb went off with a bright shining light. The ultimate advantage is that I can use it on my phone to jot down things no matter where I am and it will sync with the one that is on my computer. I don't have to use a dropbox and then copy it into another document.

I am looking forward to getting my creative juices up and running again. There is nothing like being motivated and excited to make things happen.

Well until next time. I will let you know what happens when I get started.
