So I don’t think I mentioned that…

Posted on April 9, 2012 by OKDeanna

I signed up for the newest round of Seasonal Spuffy. The theme is The Dance and I’m currently deciding how exactly I’d like to incorporate that theme into a story. I’m hoping to do a long one-shot. The ideas I’ve been kicking around though tend to lean toward a longer story. Sigh. I so do not need another WIP. Not when I’m doing my best to finish up the ones already ongoing.

What is everyone else working on? Or maybe reading?

Found three great quotes today…

Posted on April 6, 2012 by OKDeanna

all seem fitting for the new venture I plan to undertake with this blog.

“Fool!” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart, and write.”
Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), English Poet, Astrophel and Stella

The secret of good writing is telling the truth.
Gordon Lish. Dick Cavett television interview. CNBC, 1991

Write while the heat is in you.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862). Journal, 1851

What I take away from these three quotes?

Write from the heart, with fire in your veins, and tell the emotional truth.

Where do you write from? What gets your muse up and working overtime?

Whether it be offline life getting in the way, or a general lack of enthusiasm for ideas, I’ve had the worst productivity year for writing in over a decade. This realization led me to Continue reading →

Hello and welcome!

Posted on June 5, 2011 by OKDeanna

This is my personal site where I discuss writing, artwork, stories I’ve read, and videos I’ve seen. I’m sure there will be other topics discussed from time to time as well, but this is mainly a writing journal and as such, my writing will feature prominently on it.
