There was a time in my life when it seemed that I was always on the road, or on some oil rig out in the middle of no where. My friends would always ask "where are you?" or "where are you now?" At first, I would just simply reply that I was near this small town or that small town... but, it always seemed that they never quite knew where those small towns were located. I inevitably would have to say that I was "somewhere between" this city and that city (i.e... I was somewhere between Laredo and San Antonio). As the years passed I began to have fun with it. I began to change my replies and introduced some humor and personal observations... and in time it evolved into what you see here on this blog today. * Remembering a First Kiss * Feeling at Home * Having a Dream * Softly Whispering * Fondly Rememberin the Past I am somewhere between fondly remembering the past and passionately moving toward the future. I am somewhere between remembering a first kiss and feeling my heart break piece by piece. I am somewhere between running my fingers through your hair and softly whispering 'I love you' in your ear. I am somewhere between feeling at home driving on i-35 and falling in love with the Texas sky. This past Tuesday, I met with my editor (aka my sister) to review my story structure. It didn’t take long for her to tear apart just about every idea I had for the story structure; and there wasn’t much I could say to argue with her. But it wasn’t all bad news, she and I both believe that I have a good idea for a story and a rough outline. We also managed to go over a few ideas for themes, sub themes, and story continuity. I may have even found my opening and closing lines. So now here I am… somewhere between writing a letter and writing a story in letters. |
