A third journal of personal musings

My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it.

If you have a chance go watch The Lady In The Van (2016). She was also great in that movie!

Yes!! I love the details. It's why I'm such a fan of Stephen King (and why I understand when people say that they don't like it.), because I love having a picture drawn for me. So it's hard for me to step outside of that when the comfort of what I like is wrapped so tightly around me.

In response to "Dialogue"

I have read the all dialogue pieces people have written here. Not fun for me. I want a story with a point of view and details about the locations, traditions, and stories within a story. Oh, a few of the ones I read were good because those I liked were on the humorous side. I think you have read so much in your lifetime that, like me, you never read a book that was entirely dialogue. Another good entry.

In response to "Dear Mom and Dad"

I love the idea of this letter and the way you wrote it I could see your upbringing. They were going to/already went through so much. I especially liked the way you expressed your appreciation and looking at the bright side of things you had no control over. In many ways, because of their choices, they did not have much control over their own lives. Isn't it a shame we get caught up in living, working, and being so busy it is hard to see the big picture.

Thank you! It has been a long time coming for us! We were almost afraid it wouldn't ever happen. We always seemed to be a step behind the housing market (and the rental market for that matter lol). Going from a 660 sqft apartment to our house has been the best thing in my life lately! It still feels like a dream some days.

Dialogue

Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I've thought of doing this, but it feels like it goes against some kind of rule in my head? I don't know why. Sometimes when I'm writing in general if there's "too" much dialogue, I feel like I have to break it up with some description or movement or...something.

I think it's definitely something about myself where I feel like things have to be a certain way whether or not there is a rule. Maybe it's because of the types of books I read at the time? Of course now, I see stuff like that and do it as a challenge, see if it's something I like or feel comfortable doing.

I find myself one of those people, even though I'm of a creative nature, that I will sometimes keep myself in a box. I love people who step outside of that box. Like the book "A House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski. I love that someone can just imagine it and write it into existence. People can be amazing and I love that. I love that kind of creativity. I know it's just something simple like writing something that is entirely dialogue, but someone who apparently falls into the traditional mold a lot of the time, it's awesome.

It definitely inspires me though to try that out and see what I can come up with.
