Hi everyone! I'm going to get right into things, unlike usual when I ramble for 100 words, then get to the point. I have been thinking about writing a story. A book. A novel? I'm not sure. I have two sort of ideas [I just came up with one while writing the last paragraph]. The first, a type of memoir, telling tales of childhood, adolescence, and in general life. Kind of like a Chicken Soup book, without the sappy annoying bits. My second, a tale of a dreamer. I visualize things in pictures, so I visualize the story as light dusty pinks and creams bathed in a soft yellow light; garden parties and bicycles. I've taken to carrying a small black sketchbook with me places--to fill with ideas and journal entries and things like that. I finished up my old purple journal [those close to me know it's significance]. And although all the pages aren't filled, I've said all I need to say in it. Back on track though, I will keep you posted on how the stories are coming along.
