Campfire Musings
I was sitting around a campfire with my dad and brother one night and my dad said ''what stories are left to tell?'' The answer is simple. The writer's perspective gives us a unique story. Watch Halloween and Judith was the throw away whore character at the beginning. Play Dead by Dead Daylight and see the in memorium in the 1965 yearbook and we see a daughter and sister was butchered by a maniac, and she became more real and tangible.

My Shangri-La
‘I should have been journaling in this book more than what I have been.’- taken from my journal. Bought in December of last year as an escape. A project and a place to live. It’s given me enough stories to last me a lifetime time. That means a lot from me. Backed up anecdotes for the years to come from months ago. Midnight raids and drunken escapades. My escape. And one for others too. Hiding fugitives when they were on the move. Showing me what to do. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks as their’s rest against me on the sofa. Chopping wood taken from the chopped down trees of Boston manor. The echoes of the axe ricocheting off of GSK. Stolen pallets of a midnight raid. “Wait until you do a proper one”. This mad man treated me like his own son. Kept the fire going as I slept. He knew that I had work in the morning. To keep the fire going if he could stay, he was on the run anyway, so it seemed like the fairest trade. Early morning alarm had his mutt at my heels. I guess that I was hitting snooze for a moment more. To get out of Brentford was the best move that I could have made. My manager had said a few months later. Rowing the boat away to safety after some concerning news. Unimportant if it wasn’t concerning you.

Notebook Entries. Top Story - September 2025.
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What if? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers prompts — The Exercise: Write one page a day. Concentrate on observation and description, not feeling. For example, if you receive a letter, the ordinary reaction is to write in the diary, “I received a letter that made me happy.” (or sad). Instead, describe the size of the envelope, the quality of the paper, and what the stamps looked like. Keep your diary without using the verb to be. Forms of the verb to be don’t create any vivid images. By avoiding its use, you get into the habit of choosing more interesting verbs. You’ll also be more accurate. For example, some people will say “John Smith is a really funny guy,” when what they really mean is “John Smith makes me laugh,” or “I like John Smith’s sense of humor.” Experiment with sentence length. Keep the diary for a week in sentences of ten words or less. Then try writing each day’s account in a single sentence. Avoid use of “and” to connect the long sentence; try out other conjunctions. Switch your diary to third person for a while, so that instead of writing I, you can write about he or she. Then, try mixing the point of view. Start the day in third person and switch into first person to comment on the action. By interspersing first and third-person points of view, you can experiment with stream of consciousness and the interior monologue. Try keeping your diary in an accent — first the accent of somebody who is learning how to write English, then the accent of somebody learning to speak English. Keep it in baby talk; Baby want. Baby hurt. Baby want food. Baby want love. Baby walk. Try making lists for a diary entry — just a record of the nouns of that day: toothbrush, coffee, subway tokens, schoolbooks, gym shoes. The Objective: To enhance your powers of observation and description without having to juggle the demands of characterization and plot.

A Dream Passing Through
Sometimes when I close my eyes I’m worried you won’t be there anymore. I’m worried that it was all a dream. A whisper from my sheets. Your hair pools around me, your eyes say everything I need to hear. When I’m around you there is no fear. When I’m alone in my room or in any place where you’re not, I start to unravel. Let the breeze push the doors shut behind us. Let your perfume travel. Help me remember the first time you broke my heart. The first time I shouted at the top of my lungs, proclaiming my love for you. The way you look, it seems as if you have so much to say but so little courage, so little time. This lifetime isn’t quite long enough for such painfully complex words. I hold your hands and you pull away, not letting me memorize your details. You hope that you’re dreaming. You wish you still lived in your comfort zone. I look at you seeing everything I’ve ever wanted burn down right in front of me. For some reason the stars are not aligned. There aren’t enough four leaf clovers, ladybugs and Lincoln’s to bring us closer. You leave, I shut the door. The click echoing louder than anything I’ve ever heard before. I sit on the ground, closing my eyes, hoping to dream some more. All I see is black with small wisps of red.
