Hello WINDOWS LIVE, I’ve avoided you like the plague even though you came pre installed.  I suppose a marker of getting older is opening ones mind to youthful prejudices.  But you are an offline blog editor and I need that.

Today while avoiding the laundry…(its been a race between the dishes and the Laundry as to which pile will gross me out first.  The dishes won) I let my mind drift amid my chores as it often does and I'm bouncing from the new Anita Blake novel I started reading, the Millennium Trilogy, Jim Butcher, and write what you like to read, and I started thing about werewolf stories and how they never seem to get them right, and then to my own coven witch stories that I never seem to plot.  I have all these pieces and no story.  And the characters are flat.  No amount of syrup will make them tasty they are that flat.


then I realized its cause I nether like or trust adults.  as a group mind you. thus except for my view point character I don’t believe in the other characters.  But a solution is simple.  Each character needs to be a shade of me.   I trust myself.  I am significantly NOT flat.


This is such a simple and elegant if self centered idea that I wonder if I knew this and just forgot it.  But the scene in my head is the young witch and her mother going to the coven.  And I have all these ideas and details about the young witch and nothing on the mother.  Unless I'm the mother.  suddenly I know what’s going on with her.


I need to try this.  I need to sit down and write out a story and see if this is one of those missing pieces of my writers flow.  But it will have to wait till I get back.  Although I have to admit its been a while since Ive been itchy to write.  It makes me feel pretty good.
Hopefully there will be another post today.  Its also Dalys Day.  I get to spend dinner with my daughter and hold my grandson.
