Show, Don’t tell

I’d like to thank B for helping me get started in songwriting. His lovely lady for introducing us!

I have learned much through collaboration, practice and inspirations.

I’ve also learned you don’t have to be a perfectionist to write. I tend to over think what I try to express and therefore I don’t write for fear of failure. I don’t want to seem like I have no clue what I am doing 😂.

When I write, I feel like my soul is bared and I feel uncomfortable expressing those words that bare the soul. I can express emotions better in writing than I do verbally. I feel when I write it, I can hide it, but when I speak, there’s no where to hide!

I am still working on “show, don’t tell”. I have a difficult time showing what I’m telling when I write a story. Sometimes letting the reader use their own imagination is a good thing 😅.

Ok, I tried to get out of it. Didn’t work

Until next time…show, don’t tell lol

 

 

Good Morning Writers ~ Tracking Your Time by Randy Ingermanson — Just Fooling Around With Bee or The Bee Writes…

How is your writing going? Do you take a break every now and then or are you a ferocious writer? I need breaks when I blog or write. Regularly. But not necessarily in a given time schedule. When I feel I get tired and can’t concentrate anymore I have a break, have a cup of […]

Songwriting…

My brother is a singer and he needs some songs written but he doesn’t know how to write them. He also writes poetry. I told him that poetry and songwriting go hand in hand. He doesn’t know how to turn them into songs, he says. So he’s asked me to write songs for him as a ghostwriter. I’ve got 3 and a few more in the works so far. He wants to know what tune I want to use for them. I have no idea. I just like to write, but tonight while writing a song I was humming to it and I’m not sure if it’s because I had been listening to music earlier and just had a tune in my head or if I actually have an original tune for said song.

I am enjoying this side of my creativity. I had never thought I’d be songwriting. It is fun while also being emotional.

Do any of my readers write songs?

 

Enduring ‘The Grind’

I love “The Grind”

Jay Colby

The difficult nature of making changes means that you will likely be putting in effort that will take you far beyond the point at which it is inspiring or fun. This stage is what I like to call “The Grind”, which starts when actions necessary to produce meaningful change become stressful, exhausting ,and tedious. Simply put the grind is daily struggle that a lot of people go through and sometimes can discourage anyone making major changes in their life. Also at this stage your efforts toward change really count. The Grind is what separates those who are able to change from those who are not. Many people who reach this point in the process of change either ease up or give up because change is just too hard. But truly motivated people reach this stage and keep on going. Many self-help gurus, life coaches and motivators will often say that…

Embers

dying ember

afraid of oxygen

afraid of water

once was a burning flame

now slowly exhausted

no one to keep it fed

how it hungers so

oxygen to lead to failure

water put it out

which is worse

to feel alive once more

or never burn again

 

 

 

 

Hello There…

🎶Hello darlin’ nice to see ya
it’s been a long time🎶…

Well, hey y’all!

Just finished my last term. Not sure when I’ll start another. I need a much needed break. While I thoroughly enjoyed my classes in Humanities II and Creative Writing, I am a bit burned-out.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to stock my etsy shop, reply to my pen pals and talk to y’all. I miss y’all! I miss this awesome blogging world!

Well that is all for now.

Until next time…

Hello Darlin

Hello!

Wow!

I just wanted to jump on here for a moment to welcome all the new followers! Thank you so much! And give a little update with school.

I’ll be sure to check y’all out as well!

I don’t blog as often as I’d like to but when I do hopefully I don’t bore ya!

Update on school: going into my 5th week already come Monday and I feel I’ve learned quite a bit. Humanities II has been a real eye opener for me. So far we’ve covered Impressionist artists such as Claude Monet, Romanticism and Realism, and the different types of paiting. I think each is great but my favorite is Realism with a runner-up Impressionism. Romanticism is my least favorite because it’s of horror & terror and history. Example:The Death of Sardanapalus

There are a few that aren’t so horrific. But most are.

In my Creative Writing class we’ve covered tone & style, characters & plot, and setting. I feel I’ve learned more than expected in a little amount of time.

In my next term I’m adding a photography course to spruce up those skills!

Welp, that’s all folks!

Until next time…

My interpretation of this weeks SoCS:

This is my view right now. Sitting here outside with my boys plus one. My sons friend is over for the weekend. They like being outside of a morning when it’s not so hot. They hate that I have to spray mosquito repellent on them but I do it so they’re not complaining about being itchy later. The mosquitoes are bad. I love being outside during this timeas well. I wish everyday could be a perfect, slow breezy, just-the-right- temperature kind of day. It makes my heart and soul smile.

On the other hand I love rainy days as well. Grab a book or pen and paper, a cup of coffee and enjoy the sounds of the rain gently hitting the roof and windows.

This is my #SoCS
