Your Writing Refuses to Stay in One Lane
I think a lot of people run into this, mostly because we mix up two different questions. You might spend a week writing about relationships, grief, then get interested in AI, then disappear into books about creativity. A month later you’re thinking about politics instead. None of that feels strange while you’re doing it. Your curiosity is broad, so writing about different subjects feels natural.

Writing in Order vs Out of Order
Imagine you are in the middle of writing your story when an intriguing idea for a scene comes to you. The problem? The scene in mind doesn't happen until much later. You still have quite a few pages or several chapters until you get to it.

The Energy
One morning when I was out walking, I started to feel an energy form inside of me. I started out as a walker moving onto a jogger and finally into a runner seemingly running a marathon of some kind. The sun felt warm on my skin, but not too warm for there was even a cool breeze blowing and my walk that turned into a run was giving me so much energy there was nothing that I could not do this day. The energy of a supreme being must have been with me on this morning walk of happiness. Prayer.

Midnight Calling
What would you expect at the stroke of midnight? Would you expect to hear rattling chains, something howling outside or maybe, just maybe a baby cry somewhere. What would you do? Would you go in search of what is causing these disruptions of sleep and then finding out the baby cry was just your dog snoring, the howling outside was just the wind, and the chains you heard rattling was just an old swing being blown by the wind. What would a writer do without an imagination that could get us into trouble morning, noon and even at night, right.

Why him?. Honorable Mention in The Posthumous Author Challenge.
From the Canadian Authors’ Encyclopedia: In the annals of literary achievement, there may be nothing to compare to the career of Kendall August Defoe ( OC, OM, GG, Nobel? ). I add the question mark to this description because of recent news regarding the procedures of the Nobel Committee and the politics therein, but it is, surprisingly, the least interesting thing about this particular entry.

Dork Drabble
My next 'Dork Drabble' question is 'Describe the home of your dreams. Where is it located?' In a way the picture above is a house of my dreams. I would really like to live out in the woods in say a small log cabin with just enough modern amenities to be comfortable for I still want electricity to cook and be a tidy person. I still want internet for working from home creating material for readers and to be a creative writer/artist and to become more mindful of the world that happens to be around me out there. Please share.

SQ3R
This is my first new educational article for I really have not written one of these since I first started and turned my old class notes into somewhat lectures of past courses I have studied. Does anyone out there remember the reading method 'SQ3R' or 'Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review'. Believe it or not the first time I really used this reading method was when I went to a business school and this was part of the first English course the school required for all students.

Maybe Later, Nope NOW!
Alicia Anspaugh was primarily a fiction writer who achieved mild success in the 21st century. While she has been dead for over 235 years, her influence stays on in her style, subject matter, and some of the factual information that was a hallmark of her writings.
