LouLou's Writing Journey
As you all might know, my writing style is always changing. I love experimenting with different styles and tones. Some would say if I were more well-known I am the chameleon of writing. I think what makes me feel stood out is how I know what my demographic loves and enjoys reading. I think for a lot of poeple writing can be difficult because we all are looking for that certain style. However, when it comes to writing, blogging, or writing our manuscripts it's important to set the tone. Instead of acting like we writers know everything I try to remember to stay modest.

Sometimes our spongy brains get a bit dry; too much is always going on in our lives. Sometimes we want to write but we just don’t know where or how to start.

It is a time of sunshine but also nourishing rains. We hope we can help plant some idea seeds in your story garden.

Unleashing Wanderlust: A Journey of Self-Discovery through Writing
“Man, wow, there's so many things to do, so many things to write! How to even begin to get it all down and without modified restraints and all hung-up on like literary inhibitions and grammatical fears...” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

My Million Dollar Hand Job.
First, for all you perverts out there, this is not what you think so keep moving. Come to think of it, I did pinch a little girl’s butt and that is what started this whole fiasco, so I guess you can stay. See, it all started in seventh grade when I got in trouble for pinching a little girls big butt. As a grown up, I now know it was wrong and a sexist thing to do and I highly discourage all activities like this or similar. As a kid, I thought it was a sign of affection. I was wrong. The girl told the teacher and I was quickly reprimanded. I apologize and all was forgiven. After learning from my mistake, I deducted that it wasn’t a good thing to do. See, I can learn. Weeks later, during a heated argument in math class, between Elsie and Tera, their names have been changed to protect the innocent, and I about some trivial math problem, I told them, “Everybody knows that women can’t do math”. I got angry and pinched Elsie’s butt. I knew it was a bad thing so I immediately ran towards the classroom exit. Elsie turned to Tera and said, “Let’s get him”, and they both began to chase me out the door. Me, being an after school athlete, quickly sprinted out the door and down the large hallway leading to the cafeteria. Not wanting to run through the cafeteria because it might slow me down, I decided to exit the side door to the courtyard. As I approached the door my right hand aimed for the metal piece on the door but it missed it and hit one of the six segmental windows. The glass shattered and I immediately pulled my hand back. What I saw looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator, when he pulled the skin off his hand. Instead of metal, I saw bones. My hand had exploded. I stood in shock looking at my hand. By this time, Elsie and Tera had caught up to me. I turned to them for help, I guess, but they immediately started running and screaming in terror. I shouldn’t said that sexist women joke. Is God a woman? Hmmm. Anyway, I turned towards the cafeteria, the nurse’s office was just on the other side, and started slowly walking. I keep repeating, in a low tone voice while holding my wrist with my left hand, emergency.

Creativity
It seems bizarre to say and heart-breaking to realise that it needs to be said, but creativity is integral to anything creative. It’s not enough to tell a story but you must be able to look at all factors as if the project you are working on is more of a reflection of actual events and that you, the creator, are simply recording what has happened.
