What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

When the day dawns, what will unfold is yet to be determined. I enjoy watching each day reveal what it will be with each choice I make, each person I encounter, each word uttered that will effect either myself or others. How is that for a deep answer?

Reflecting on my past, I can see that there are themes in my adolescence that could make a good plotline. Certainly a few of my life experiences that could be termed as "mysterious" are within my new work "The Exile Carpet: Dreamscapes." Pondering this for a moment, the greatest mystery for me is the "what if" in life and in fiction. To sit back with a tall glass of tea on a spring day and wonder what would happen if the slightest detail in history or daily life was altered.

Try it! Here are some examples I like to ponder.....what would you come up with?
1. What if America had not won the Revolutionary War?
2. What if the Library at Alexandria had not burned to the ground?
3. What would the world be like without diplomacy or Allied Nations?
4. What if Hitler had won Word War II?
5. What if war never existed?
6. What would happen if the meek DID inherit the Earth?

All of these could be excellent plotlines....sit, think, let your imagination take hold and see what the next bend around the corner reveals.

My own mystery has been life itself and I can't wait to see what happens next!(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Is it a block, a procrastination or a bit of laziness? If it is a true block, I step away, go over some notes and see if there I something that jogs it loose.....unless I need to scream at the computer screen...which sometimes helps....see chapter where character screams at computer screen! Procrastination and laziness are dealt with in the best possible way.....I look over my shoulder at my writing partner and pick up her favorite toy and we spend play time puppy style until the computer begs for attention once more.

Summer reading with sick dog

Summer is off to a roaring start....cant believe it is the Fourth of July!

I have been asked what I read during my time away from the keyboard of my computer and the answer is always dull......not much. I don't like to read a whole lot of fiction in the genre in which I am working. Mainly because I don't want someone else's ideas to influence my own. Instead, my summer reading is centered around t Read more of this blog post »

I am particularly interested in how you create a character in your writing. As I come from an acting perspective where there is extensive work done in the creation of a character. How do you like to work? And, do you use real life people as models for any of your characters? If so, who was Tamara and Mitch modeled from?
