The Recovered WIP

OK a few months ago I was in the process of writing a book only to abandon the original idea as every copy on my hard drive refused to open because of one problem or the other. Eventually I abandoned the idea and wrote an entirely different book.

The other day I decided to write in the cloud to save a bit of storage space and there was a version of my original manuscript. The notes for it, they appear to be lost. There is a gaping whole in the story and I cannot find the notes that tie it up and close it off.

This means either starting completely over or going through chapter by chapter to find and fill where I veered from the original story line. There might be chapters that have to be removed all together.

Oh well, I have to get ready to go to the school so the decision will  have to wait until I receive more feedback on it.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
