writing freely from the myriad of life's feelings and moods

I'm off to flow into a free write from the intensity of feelings and to discover what unfolds.

The idea of having many free writes, written from different moods, to draw from in other novel writing helps me to feel the ambuscades a bit less and to almost remember the tone of a wee bit mischievous. I wish I'd written free writes from the myriad of life's moods all my life. I have always written freely but in an abundantly expansive way, the focus has grown as the years tumble by. What a wealth of moods to draw from while writing, focused feeling/mood writings would and will be. I remember life's vagaries, vignettes and the cutting of virtual veins (a rather intense image that just landed here), but to have the images and immediacy written down, would be better.

Sometimes, when I dive into the feelings they grow stronger and can slip into the rest of the day/daze. Ah well, I will see. I desire my readers to have feeling experiences as they read my novels; perhaps that is why I am reminded what this anguished despair feels like. I accomplished a great deal of writing while in a long committed relationship, now back in being single land and eventually dating my writing seems less protected, I will protect it, I am protecting it, I am single....dang it.

a slightly vastly different novel, or perhaps

I'm writing scenes, new ones, scenes that seem wayward but related, the lovely connecting ones, and some that lead me far away from my sentence, which concerns me, as these scenes may transform into being related to my sentence, but they may also lead me far astray; it seems too easy to find myself writing a slightly vastly different novel, and I am finding I love writing scenes, but I hope these scenes are related to my novel, rather than misbegotten lyrical detours that are pretending to be part of a destination, but may not be related to my novel at all. (wry grin)

I'm going to continue writing tonight after a visit to a watercolor painting..

New ways to conjure abundance

I am trying to fathom new ways to conjure abundance, in addition to the ways I have always created abundance.
It is rather a strange year but the writing is going very well
and soon
I will return here
to write
and
communicate more.

for now tis a short story at a time
a moment at a time
a riddle poem at a time

blessed be
