Ideas for stories come from all over the place. From your life, family life or friends life. You can hear a remark in a restaurant and spin a 90K book about of it. You can stare up at the sky and make stories up about the cloud formations. Everything is grist for the mill.
That being said I can't get my storyline to go forward. Its a pain. I think my big problem is that I don't set a time and tell everyone that this is my writing time. Don't call, don't ask me any questions, make like I don't exist. Maybe then I can settle down and write.
I have research to do and have already done some. Well, I bought books so I can read up on it.
Sometimes I feel like I am brain dead. I can't get an idea to save my life. I've started about six or seven books, have 36K words on one but I don't like it.
What it comes down to is I want a new idea something no one else has thought of. But that is not going to happen. All I can do is make my story better. There are only so many scenarios to be had. I could make up a new demon, a new kind of hero or a strange planet.
I think too, even though we have been here for a year now, we are still not all the way moved in. There are boxes that still need to be unloaded, have to paint the bedrooms, have the floors redone and finish the kitchen. Have to get the back-splash up and paint the cabinets.
The house in Gloversville is going up for sale, finally. My step-son says he is going to room with a friend of his. He thinks he will move in Oct. I don't know if we will continue to rent. Three of his buddies are living there now.
So many things to do and think about.
So, once upon a time there was a demon killer, a demon and a girl. Wow there I go heres a new story. LOL
Anyway need to get some stuff done. So I am almost gone. Now I am gone.

A little something I wrote years ago:
Though winter has only just begun, I am already longing for time of year when trees bud and flowers bloom.
Ah sweet spring, how I long for you to begin. The green carpet of grass under my feet, soft and warm. A new beginning for all living things. With the event of spring other magical happenings take place. What you ask? Why, what every red blooded boy and girl, man and woman looks forward to the hunting, oops sorry, of The “Mating Season”
Eyes meet across a crowded room with that come hither look, a smile, a nod and then…what?! I don’t remember!What does happen next? Its been so long since I’ve been out in that jungle, that I wouldn’t know the mating call if it hit me on the head.
I think to myself, is that guy with his shirt open to navel, gold chains tangled in his hairy chest winking at me, or does he just have something in his eye. I hope its the latter. The fellow who is swaying to the music the DJ is playing, inviting me to join him in the dance, or is he asking my friend Bob? Maybe he is just rutting and marking his territory for all to see with an open invitation for whoever.
To catch that certain someone we strive to make ourselves more attractive by wearing the right make-up, clothes, have the perfect hair style, go to the gym, and diet that goes for men and women, make-up not excluded for men. Then to garner more attention, we improve our minds by keeping up with current events and reading the latest best sellers.
At least some people who are looking for that certain someone will attempt to keep themselves abreast of the times and not just baseball scores. We go to the hottest clubs, social events, gyms and even church with the best we have and big hopes.
And for what? You catch the eye of that good looking hunk or allow him to catch yours; he speaks, you realize he is short about 3 brain cells. What a waste of time and effort. Or is it? Men and women should be able to meet on a honest common ground, without all the trappings.
Then again, half the fun is getting to look your best and delving into the mystery that is called the” Mating Game.’”
How do you like it?

Got to get busy
I really need to keep up on blogging. Its good, you need to write everyday and this helps.
I've joined some writers sites on Linkedin. I think it will be a great help. I really need to get a schedule going. Sometimes its a little hard with my husband home.
Ah retirement. Not all its cracked up to be. LOL Actually its not bad but we are going to movies instead of me writing. Have to stop that. We saw the Ape movie and Cowboys and Alien. Both were fun. I enjoyed them. Went to see The Help on Thursday with my cousin. The movie was great. I can't wait to read the book. What people went through in the 60's-70's in the deep south. I am so happy that I was born in NY. I take it all with a grain of salt.
I am dieting. I stopped smoking and gained. So bad of me. Now I am not smoking and I am hungry. Doing a meal plan. Its OK Husband lost 25 lbs in the first month when he did, then had a gastric bypass. He looks great and feels good except for his back. Dr. ordered a MRI and insurance said no. X-rays first. What a waste, all an x-ray is going to tell you is that your back is not broken or maybe it is for some people. I fractured my back in two places. I just add it to the pain I already have.
But my poor hubby, now I understand why he hasn't gone to join any bowling leagues. he hurts. he just had a hernia repair doing good with that. Hopefully our new Doctor can help. We got away form the PA from Hell. That's all I am going to say.
I have to have another neural conduction test. Whoopee, stick those needles in. Have no idea where the first test is.
I love North Carolina but there medical things are a little different from NY which of course doesn't surprise me. But its a lot stranger. I guess they have a bad drug problem here. I can't imagine that NY is not worse. I have to tell that I got a bill for $1,500.00 for a urine test to make sure that I was taking only my meds and not abusing them. I told the lab. I am not paying that. go back to the pain clinic, oh wait they can't they closed down and didn't send my reports to the PA from Hell. Its been fun. OK enough of my venting.
Its been a slow day. On facebook most of the afternoon. I need to get off there and back to writing.
Its the game Garden in Time. DH got me playing it. Have to dedicate time to socializing but need to write too and take care of the cats and dog and the house. Hmmm to much, I think I will stop cleaning the house and doing the wash and oh wait DH does a lot of the food shopping, I really dislike it, And he does the cooking. Poor guy is working to pay off my medical bills, Dr's, xrays and what have you.
Its almost 5 PM so I think I will get off for now and ...read, yes I need to relax and enjoy tonight.
We should all be relaxed and enjoy the life that we have.

And again I haven't been blogging and I should.
Christine that is a great idea for a story. I know I would read it. so go for it.
I wish that I knew more about getting my blog out there. I'm not even sure what the address for this is and that is what I think I need. That's why I don't blog like I think I should. I need to investigate the hows of getting my blog out.
My writing has been sporadic for the most part. I keep changing the story. I think I have decided what I want to
write. Started my bible because I would like to make this a series. We shall see how that goes.
Its been very warm in my part of NC and I am sure its been that way all over. Thank God we have a pool. Not that I go in that much but it does help.
The husband is going for surgery tomorrow for a hernia. He had to lift our dog into the truck. Kirby the dog is a mastif mix. I say pit ball husband says no, Kirby's face is to long. Kirby is afraid of things. He was found in a drain staving, Husband showed me his picture on the website and I said nice looking but no dog yet. We have four cats. Husband calls about a week later, he was out doing whatever and told me that he was bringing "Drano" home. the poor puppy was afraid of me. I think he was abused by a female. He changed his name to Froddo which I didn't like at all. I thought he looked more like a Max to me. We finally settled on Kirby. Kirby was afraid to get in the truck because the last time he was in the truck he went to the vet for a little cutting. I think its because he hasn't been out riding with us or the husband. Kirby is a real sweetie though. He keeps giving me his paw when I don't ask for it because he wants his "cookie". He's a real sweetie. the cats aren't to thrilled. they don't want to play and oh don't give something to a cat because Kirby is right there saying "no, all mine". One of these days Kirby is going to have a scar across his nose.
I've taken a few course on line, paranormal policing, witches and what not and world building to name a few. For me, right now, is where does the story take place. In the US, did some catastrophic whatever happen that rendered technology obsolete and brought the magics back into the world. Also as if starting over. Say generators work, having lights, clean drinking water. If you have a car or truck be happy because it will be years before they start making them again. Plus there is only so much gas that is usable. We go back to horse and carriage and walking. No flying in airplanes. Ships are OK. this is the way its starts.
What I like to read is about supernaturals skinwalkers, werepeople. i love Patrica Briggs and Nalini Singh and Wilks WOW. I like fantasy/urban/paranormal. I love mysteries. I was hooked with the first Bobbsy Twins book that my Mom bought for me. I've been a reader ever since.
You know what is really nice is that my husband and stepson love to read too and there are some books that all three of us will read. Jim Butcher for one, Terry Brooks and Stephen King. I feel lucky to be married to Ray. He never complains about the number of books I buy or questions how much I spend. I do the same for him. We both have readers. He has the nook and I have a sony. There are just to many books in the house. I am going to have to sell or donate some of them. We downsized when we moved to NC to 800sq. ft. less space. There is more footage but we don't use the family room upstairs, its very warm up there and we need to have new stairs made. There is the sun room but its all screened in and the rain gets in there so not a good place to put books. But I will think of something. We have a one room cabin on the property and that is loaded with books too. But enough of that.
I think I will introduce my protagonist, Lucy. Lucy is a psychic who teaches others how to open up their third eye. To be psychics themselves and that is it for now. She is going to be magical.
I will really try to do better with my blogging. I need to remember to write something if not everyday at least once or twice a week.

Descriptive writitng
Christine:
You're right of course. Description is important and it does move the story. I usually skim through it but, I've been reading the descriptive prose because I need to be a better writer. So I now try to describe to myself, towns that I have been to or just Main Street and the shops and such. What houses look like clothing that my characters wear. I think I am getting better.
I write paranormal mystery love stories. I get to write all my favorites at one time.
Right now my internet is down and I am in the coffee shop. Internet should be back up on Wed. I have a lot of stuff saved on my big lap top. I am using my netbook right now, so much easier to carry around.
For the paranormal I can more or less change any setting I want. I grew up in the Bronx and worked in Manhattan for nine years. I know more about the city then I do about the Bronx. I didn't leave my comfort zone to often and was always surprised that the Bronx was so big. But the city is a different story, then again I can describe midtown but not great with downtown but I can change it because with a paranormal there is a change places are different because the humans, the supernatural, two natured, demons have taken over and magic does things to a town, city or villiage. I need to incorporate both the real and the fantasy. So, I am striving to do this.
Hopefully my internet will be working on Wed. and I can get down to work.
So I will say good bye for now.

Thanks Christine
Here it is April 17, so much for blogging more. Not a thing since January. Thanks Christine for reminding me that I have a blog and I've been ignoring it.
We are still settling in. Kind of. Husband got a part time job which is very good. Extra money never hurts and the work will hopefully keep the boredom at bay. He is going to be a driver for a rehab place. It will be like working in NY as a hack except he won't have to carry a gun and the people who he drives won't be locked in, at least I don't think so.
I am finally getting ready to sit down and write. I've taken some classes on line and have a general idea of what I need to do. I know what to do I need to sit down and do it. I think with Husband out of the house so I can have alone time it will finally come to me.
I have to stop here because Game Of Thrones is starting.
If anyone reads this; I am having a big problem writing the descriptive stuff, you know, what the town looked like, what so and so is wearing and the forest or city and I don't want to make it boring so if anyone has any tips, well, I'll buy the coffee next time you all are in Charlotte.

To write or not, a novel blogging is something that I hope will entertain
I promised myself that I would write every day or at least a few times a month and alas I did neither. For shame I say to myself. I will write more often.
The problem is I usually run out of time. Not that I am doing anything special right now. The plot for my novel is running around in my head. I am having aa hard time figuring out where to go with it. I wish I had taken more writing classes in college. Creative writing only is not cutting it.
I will strive to do better.
I have my H&H now I need to murder someone. I need a reason why this character is murdered and who did it. Then of course there has to be the best friend, maybe a couple of them. Yeah, because we all have more than one friend. At least I hope so. It would kind of sad if you only have one. But I bet there are more friends out there than you think.
What I am writng is a paranormal murder romance. That says it all. I've taken some on line classes and let me tell you the classes are fantastic. So I should be prepared to sit down and start writing. I have more books on writing than I care to think about. How to murder, in what way, gun, knife, are you a serial murderer, a mass murderer or just knocking off Aunt Jessie for the money. So many ways to go with it.
Then I have my forensic books and websites to go to.
My cats have been so annoying today. Right now Sammie, the 15 pounder is trying to find a spot on my lap. She is sitting on my lap, at least I wish she would settle down. Then my male cat Mulder, oye all he has done is cry at me. We now have a dog so the cats food has to be on the counter, the brand new granite, We have four cats, they all want to eat at the same time. So much fun. Getting back to Mulder, He leaped up thinking he would land on the counter. He didn't. He limped for a couple of days. He and Scully are almost 14 years old. The vets says they are really old. Anyway now everytime Mulder wants to eat he comes over and cries. I don't know how many times I lifted him today. But wait, I digress.
Back to writing. Now with a paranormal I have to have a demon or two, a shapeshifter, a vamp? I don't know. Vampires are not romantic figures to me. Unless its Angel and that's a whole nother thing. Yeah Buffy! Witches, sorcerer, psychics they could all be in my book, but wait, if I put them all in one book I won't have anything else to write about. Just Kidding.
There was a great speaker at RWA chapter meeting. I of course was late, no surprise there, well maybe, I actually showed up. My GPS hates me. I don't know where it wants to go in Charlotte but its not to my meeting. Anyway we learned about trace evidence, The steps taken to get evidence chain of command and so on. It was really good. I like this chapter. I liked the one in Albany too. But here we meet at a resturant have a room to ourselves morning and afternoon program even time to chat before it all starts.
It never fails this time I am about an hour and a half drive away. When asked where I live they just shook their head and said you have a long trip. I was hoping to maybe have at least one writer by me but no of course not. That would be to easy. Just like in NY, there was no one near me. So I just trottle along and hope that maybe someone will join who lives near me. Since I joined in June, there were 50 memebers or there abouts we now are over 70 memebers. I think that is great. Oh and just to show you where my lucks goes RWA Conf. will be in NY this summer. I lived in NY and now I am in North Carolina. Sometimes life just kicks you in the ass. I think I need to really want this and that nothing will deter me from going to the conf. Well money might well deter me. It will be an expensive trip. I don't have to stay at the hotel, I can stay with friends but that defeats the purpose of going of being able to hang out and just being there. Talk with other writers published and unpublished. Do the talks and go to the workshops that I am interested in.
We shall see. I am going to hope that I can go.
So I have been all over the place now but all with the same theme, writing.
I will try to blog more, maybe then I will have some more followers.
I do thank my two followers I hope what I write will be entertaining, maybe give you something to think about or you think I am just crazy.

So I just trottle along and hope that maybe someone will join who lives near me. Since I joined in June, there were 50 memebers or there abouts we now are over 70 memebers. I think that is great. Oh and just to show you where my lucks goes RWA Conf. will be in NY this summer. I lived in NY and now I am in North Carolina. Sometimes life just kicks you in the ass. I think I need to really want this and that nothing will deter me from going to the conf. Well money might well deter me. It will be an expensive trip. I don't have to stay at the hotel, I can stay with friends but that defeats the purpose of going of being able to hang out and just being there. Talk with other writers published and unpublished. Do the talks and go to the workshops that I am interested in.
We shall see. I am going to hope that I can go.
So I have been all over the place now but all with the same theme, writing.
I will try to blog more, maybe then I will have some more followers.
I do thank my two followers I hope what I write will be entertaining, maybe give you something to think about or you think I am just crazy.
