Dream Writer: You don't have time for a muse
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2013/10/you-dont-have-time-for-muse.html
Tuesday, October 29, 2013. You don't have time for a muse. We writers are an eccentric lot. We love our quirks and idiosyncrasies. Civilians – “non-writers” – find us mysterious and we love that. There are few things with greater cache than mystery. Mystery allows us to create a sacred space that is untouchable. Our loved ones respect it, even tiptoe around it. The downside of all the enigma is that we abuse it. We are masters at minimizing when prying eyes come near…What? Well that just won’t do. Chance...

Dream Writer: March 2012
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 10, 2012. Quit Before You Get Ahead. Have you ever stopped writing when you were on a roll? Those are the best times, right? When you're in the groove.well, keep groovin'. Stay there. Ride it out. That's probably what most of us do, and there are many reasons why we do it. But there is a school of writing thought that suggests you deliberately stop, even mid-sentence, just a bit sooner than you normally would. Pack that into your toolbag of block breakers, and Write, Dream Writers! Nevert...

Dream Writer: November 2012
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Climb down from there and WRITE! If you're a writer, there's no question about it. The true question, perhaps too often asked, is not, "Am I a writer? But "Why don't I write? Only a writer asks that question! If you're asking it, you're a writer. But, but, but, you say. How can I claim to be a writer when I'm stalled? I haven’t written anything. In (fill in the blank – days, months, eons). Cue the shrieking from. And here's how you can tell:. The nicer word is 'words.'.

Dream Writer: January 2014
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Said, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”. Ernest Hemingway, father of Writer’s Melodrama! He gave us all some anguish to latch onto, right? Nobody knows the trouble we’ve seen! Hemingway inspired me when I was in 7. Grade and first read his short story “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.” That one stuck with me as a prototype for exterior action revealing interior life. How hard can that be? Put on your analyst’s cap ...

Dream Writer: September 2012
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 22, 2012. Don't Clutter Your Writing with Too Many Words! Here is my poem. It is twenty lines. If I'd had more time, it could have been ten. Maya Angelou (I think! I originally wrote: "I attribute this quote to Maya Angelou, though I am unable to confirm that these are her words.". Which attribution is better? Short and pithy almost always wins! Powerful writing uses few words to say profound things. And write, Dream Writers! Who's your favorite clean, clear, impactful author?

Dream Writer: April 2014
http://dreamwriter-tdp.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2014. A black-eyed Susan by any other name. What if Ishmael had said, “Call me Leonard? And what if Ishmael’s Captain hadn’t been named after the evil idol-worshipping ruler in the Book of Kings. At the least it would have created a lot more work for Mr. Melville. He’d have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do! Instead, with his choice of those two powerful, meaning-laden names, he deftly planted the threads of the themes in MobyDick. Into the minds of his readers. Is only a starting point.
