my quill


The blood dripped onto white page,
The blood seeped from flowing rage.
My quill dipped into growing puddle,
My quill slid through glowing ruddle.


The words formed into ruddy rhymes,
The words creeped from bloody crimes.
My quill gripped story's tale.
My quill hid behind the knowing veil.


The blood clotted onto white page.
The blood filled the writing stage.
My quill declared future fate.
My quill repaired idle prate.


The words spilled onto white page.
The words revealed wisdom's sage.
My quill released age's power.
My quill unleashed epic hour.


Blood and quill fuel the fire,
words explode to re-inspire.
Blood and quill expose the heart,
words implode the world apart.

Stephen King’s “What Writing Is”

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft    “What Writing Is” I have written an article in another Blog summarizing several sections in Stephen King's book.

The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference. (Wikipedia) Writing about telepathy, King suggests that we are “downstream on the time-line”. We are in the here-and-now and as he writes from the past, he

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels I recently joined a community on Google+ called "The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time". The moderator,   +Brandon Toropov  suggested we post our Top Ten Greatest Novels of All Time List. There are so many great books that I haven't yet read. There are so many authors that I have read that deserve to be mentioned and that I haven't chosen to be on my list (Tolstoy, Twain, James, A. Huxley, Orwell, Austen, Faulkner, J.F. Cooper, Koestler, Conrad, Kipling). Some of the authors whose works I chose had other novels to choose from for my list: Dostoevsky -- “the Bothers Karamazov” and “The Idiot”, Steinbeck -- “Of Mice and Men”, Tolkien -- “The Hobbit”, Hemmingway -- “A Farewell to Arms”, Bronte “Wuthering Heights”. I could go on and on for these authors. The novels I have chosen have altered my views about life or influenced my worldview in some way. Top Ten Greatest Novels Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird  Fyodor Dostoevsky -
