Notes From the Author

I hope to use this blog as a diary of sorts, in order to document my quest of perfecting my skills. Areas that I am particularly fond of include: photography, gardening, cooking - baking -canning, painting - sketching and of course writing. Like so many others, the word 'perfection' haunts me. I strive to reach it daily not truly knowing what it is or how to achieve it. Yet, I won't settle for less. Here is my blog showing my struggles and my hopeful successes. I don't need to be perfect but I must try to ascertain it.

Who Am I - Life's a Journey

I fear I have created a misunderstanding when writing my profile.  It was the least of my intentions to sound conceded when I said, "I have journeyed my life rooted by knowing who I am".   But I have and I do.  Like all journeys, however, I have often strayed, even become lost upon several occasions, yet even in my darkest hours, deep within - my heart stayed true to the person I am.  This is not to say that I haven't participated in deeds I regret.  I am human and have many sides - I have lived many lives, with in this one - become many characters, which I now drawl upon to create my literary characters.  My journey continues and I still have much to learn but even as I waver my foundation is set.

Was there ever a time of your life when looking back, your personal memory seems more like a stranger's life - distant and dreamlike?  Were you bolder?  Selfish?  Wiser?  Create a scene exaggerating your experience.  Push beyond your comfort zone and transform yourself into a different character.  Think about how you felt.  How you related to the world around you?  Did you express logic?  What emotions controlled you?

Have fun and as always, feel free to post your discoveries.
