Story Ideas

            I am definitely in writing mode now, as the story ideas are flowing once again. I took my walk this morning and worked through several. I keep a book of ideas in my desk, where I jot down whatever comes to mind on a certain story. Those random thoughts usually form into a strong storyline, or at least that is the goal. I finished working through “Mommy’s Gone Crazy” this morning, and have yet another story to add to the book. You may not know it yet, but I wrote a full-length novel a few years ago (can’t believe it’s been years since I finished it!). The book I wrote is actually the middle work, out of three. There is also a sequel and a prequel. It is the prequel I am concerned with now, and the painter in the story. Like “Mommy,” this short story is another exploratory work where I can get to collaborate with and get to know the character in the setting. I have to structure it first, and hopefully in two months, I can start construction of it.

             The new storylines are exciting to me. Each one is coming together nicely and introducing themselves rather cordially. I have spent a lot of time working on my platform, much to the chagrin of my characters. It is nice to be ‘back in the saddle,’ with my pen (keyboard) in my hand, and a paper (screen) before me once again. My friends have missed me, and I them. I hope to get the first short story completed soon; I will then move onto the succubus project. I said that yesterday…sorry. Writers have great minds for ideas, not memories!

There has been some fruit reaped from the gothic site. I used the fruit analogy because I am dieting and feel it will help me to lose weight. If I said, “I had a shitload of cupcakes from that site,” one: it would not make any sense; and two: what the hell do cupcakes have to do with a gothic site? You see, the fruit analogy works much better. Trust me. Anyhow, some people have reached out to my blog from there. Nice.

            Ok, that is all for now. ‘Like’ my page on FB (search Robert Perry), and if you have not done so already, check out my writing at bn.com. I’m under the ebooks tab. Search Robert Oliver for those (haven’t changed my name yet). If you need to download Nook, it’s very simple, and a link is located at the right of the blog screen. It’s free and will give you access to thousands of books.

            Thanks for reading!
