UP EARLY SATURDAY AND GONE!

Do you like sleeping in on Satuday morning?

Do you ever wonder about the motivation for staying up on late Friday night?

I know there are good late movies. That is the obvious reason, but why not just catch them when you want them?
We have so many options available in that department.

I get up about the same time every day. Today, I am up early Satuday and gone to the Metro Camera club field trip.

Camera batteries charged, extra memory card ready and looking forward to a good time with congenial friends.
I love going on the photo ops to get extra special time in to build my photo base.
I am looking for a special bee, butterfly or bird photo.

Keep writing!

Sincerely,
The Editor

TROPICAL ADVENTURE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER

Collecting images, sights, smells and sounds should always be on top for the writer.

If you are thinking about writing a tropical adventure and haven't been in the tropics or it has been awhile, you might consider meeting the Metro Camera Club at the Crystal Bridge in downtown Oklahoma City. Bring your camera and collect specific shots because it will trigger your memory when sitting at the computer.

Photographers will definitely benefit from this shoot. Tripods will be allowed from 9 am until Noon. Tripod are not usually allowed at all.
The first camera club field trip of 2012 is scheduled for January 28 at the Myriad Garden's Crystal Bridge. The renovation of Crystal Bridge has recently been completed and looks quite different than it did the last time the club had an outing there. Tripods will be allowed for our group from 9 to 11am. Admission will be $5 per person.

So don't forget, Jan. 28, 2012. Guests are welcome. Come to the South entrance of the Crystal Bridge. tripods allowed 9 to 11 am only, however the admission is for all day.
Parking: on street parking is available on Reno right by the Myriad Gardens and will hopefully be plentiful on Saturday morning at 9.
Lunch: meet Bricktown Brewery between 11:30 and noon for lunch.
See you there! Carl Shortt, Jr., MCC Field Trip Coordinator

Come join the Metro Camera Club on the field trip. You just might like us enough to join.
I will post events on Writers Comments when I receive them, hopefully in a timely manner.

Keep writing!

PUBLISHING ADVENTURES

Getting published is a whole new adventure when you start out.

Early this morning when I started my office day, the laptop was dead. Would not start up.

I put it on the charger and completed my office equipment install survey.
Good thing I wasn't supposed to be involved with a publisher on a tight appointment schedule.

If you don't know where to start, here is a great way to find out.

MEETING NEW CHARACTERS IS ADVENTURE

Ok, so I said characters.

Meeting new people is an adventure because, if they become an acquaintance, they will enrich your character collection.

Peple are rich with nuances, hopes, dreams and personalities that you could never think of for yourself.
We are what we are and need input.

We can make a favorite list, location list and still just have lists until it clicks in a personality.

You might select an icon image from a magazine and write a character study, but until the character walks and talks in your story, it is still a flat image.
Let's meet new characters in our stories. Take the adventure to write the character you never wrote before.
You could be meeting characters in a new adventure.

Keep writing!

CHARACTER ADVENTURES OF THE HEART

Heart adventures are in a realm not seen.

What happens on the inside has to be shown by actions on the outside.

Some writers just can't write interaction between characters so they resort to the old ploy and write explicit sex scenes.
That is not writing, that is physiology lessons for the ignorant.

A real adventure of the heart is when the couple goes the extra mile for the other. Understanding may not be complete between them, but then faith in oneself must come in and make the story. Couples start out in a vacuum with no knowledge of each other. Little by little the story unfolds and the adventure of discovery becomes evident. They become a unit, not quite one until they are in total agreement. They become one in the spirit realm long after they agree in the soul realm.

Write a paragraph to 'show' adventure between a couple without sex. Bet you have to work at it.
Actions speak louder than words. Adventures of the heart take very specific interactions to make it work. Kindness, bringing each other into their picture will help your understanding.
No, he can't just say it with his eyes.

Keep writing!

ADVENTURES EVERYWHERE!

Now you might think that moving a desk would not be a great task.

My favorite desk has a 3 foot by 5 foot top with wood like finish. Made of steel with two file size drawers on each side and a center drawer. It seems to weigh a ton when filled with manuscripts. I thought I was never going to get it moved to my work space.

My son, Paul, has been very busy with work and remodeling his own home with his wonderful wife, Shannon.
He used his first vacation day of 2012 to move my desk. I thought that is so sweet and spectacular.

So while he was unloading the desk, he told me there was a naked two year old running around in the street. I thought he was kidding. But made a short call to 911 for help. After a little while, sure enough the little guy was cornered by his mom and every thing went back to 'normal.'

After my son did such a generous and helpful task for me, I took him to lunch. He is going to be the big 50 on Sunday so I kinda made it for his birthday. I can't believe my third child will turn that age...
Time sure does give adventures everywhere!

Keep writing!
