A Ghost in the House

Yes, it is true. My house is being visited by an unknown ghost. I have no problem writing this as I feel like another door has been opened to me metaphysically speaking. Last night it gave me a vision in front of me of a notepad and pen. Okay so I am to write for you be your voice? It makes me think of Ruth Montgomery the author who in the 70's penned a few books. She was connected to her spirit guides who spoke to her whilst she was in a trance like state through her typewriter. Mine is not even close to her setup but I get the distinct feeling this ghost or entity needs to talk to me and the notebook may be our link.
Stayed tuned. I am about to embark on a whole new road it appears.

Survival of the Fittest and not so fit

I survived the writing weekend (again) but I know in my bones I'll not do this again. The writing suffers so much that in the end you sometimes have something extremely good or ultimately horrendous! Guess which one mine ended up being? Yes it was ballet jump off a high jagged cliff but I didn't give up. Even after two days of almost writing no words at all, day 3 I pulled off a marathon and managed to type up 61 pages. A far cry from my usual 90-100 pages.

So I have decided to write as writers write, something everyday be it, one page, 100 words or 3000 words I will plan and research and despite having 3 books and a fourth on the way published this will be "the book". Stay tuned to see if I procrastinate about ths idea as well :)

Writing

I am missing a heroine! I am stuck. OMG HELP! Lol

Book Writing Weekend

I am on the cusp of another marathon writing experiment, where I push my small intellectual brain to the max until I almost reach the tipping point and then pull back exhausted yet elated that I, once again, was able to pull it off. Okay breathe...sorry that was a very long first line wasn't it!
Now I have taken the time to do a wee bit of research and have a very sketchy outline. I hate it! So I am thinking of another book angle while I work today and ... yes I hate it too! So now what to do ...what to do?

Well if you are reading this, you know what I am going to say. I'll just do the same thing I do every time I write like this...wing it! Whatever comes to mind is what I'll write about. Goddess help me and those around me who once again will be tip-toeing around me like barefeet on broken glass as I'll be a monster in training until Sunday night when all is said and done. Monday is re-write day. Can I really do this again? I have no idea. Stay tuned....

3 DAY NOVEL CONTEST

I am trying to gear myself up for this annual foray into writing insanity. I've done it five times before and thought hey, why not, try it again.
Now that the writing weekend is a couple weeks away I've started a couple outlines.
I want it to be fast paced (always) not much filler all meat! Spy's and counter intellegence lost scrolls or trolls lol.
My family looks at me with trepidation when I announce that I am doing this "again" and they know my poor husband will pay the price of someone who writes for 13-16 hours straight and sleeps for a few hours more and finishes a book. Insane yes, empowering omg yes! I recommend everyone do this at least once in their lives. Who knows you might win the contest though for me, its about finishing...typing "THE END" and then seeing what happens.

Storms

We talk about global warming being responsible for the storm seasons, the velocity and ferocity of them. Then there are the double digit "hurricanes" we deal with which are churning in the oceans every year now. I say we as the global community not just Canada. The tornados that touched down last night around dinner time were never heard of when I was a kid. It was something that happened in the Wizard of Oz or the land of OZ - The USA. Is it just global warming though? I have looked up many times into a clear blue sky and wonder just who exactly is controlling the weather? We have read about weather manipulation tests. What happens when man's lust for scientific one upmanship causes storms such as these all year round? How would humanity recover from that? It would devastate the ability to grow food, to survive.

Joyce Morrison, a journalist wrote this in 2004, "The unusual amount of email regarding the modification of the weather theory piqued my interest and I began to dig a little deeper. Natures intense power can leave devastation in its path, but with help, it could turn into a weapon of mass destruction."

As proof of weather modification she also wrote in the same article found at http://www.newswithviews.com/Morrison/joyce17.htm

"SB 517 says: It is the purpose of this Act to develop and implement a comprehensive and coordinated national weather modification policy and a national cooperative Federal and State program of weather modification research and development, "

So we are not hallucinating there is something dark going on and its not just the clouds blocking out the sun. And there is this tidbit , "Weather War New evidence suggests US & Russia are embroiled in an illegal race to harness the power of hurricanes & earthquakes. An October 8, 2005 The Daily Express (U.K.) - 2005-07-16 news article gave the following information: "

Uh huh .... hmmm well isn't this information interesting people! Heads up , be aware and don't be blinded to the truth.

Music

Bach was an amazing composer. We all know this. One of his quotes was, "There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself."

Hah! Well easier said than done in my opinion. In my case, it is allowing your brain to agree with your fingers that is the right key and be sure of it. It is the inability to be secure in your knowledge that you can play this. Stop over-thinking it dammit!

I did receive honours on my exam but it isn't good enough so next time I will do my best to memorize the pieces and not lose marks. I had getting old lol
