How important is the truth? It's extremely important. I could make excuses for not having blogged in a while, but I think the truth is best, no matter how it makes me look.
Okay, here's the truth. I've been busy working on a short story. It's been a bear keeping the story tight, concise, and flowing. I've been so buried in that and rewriting other works that I haven't taken the time to blog. I know, I know...bad blogger, bad blogger. I considered putting myself in time out, but that would just keep me away longer.
Several people I know are gearing up for Nano. How can I write fifty thousand words when I'm trying to get these five thousand words to work and flow? Who would have thought it would be this hard. Well, actally I did. I went into this thinking that it would make my writing tighter, and it is. But figuring out changing scenes with a smooth transition and very few words has got me stumped.
So if anyone has an idea or suggestion, I would gladly hear it.

Beauty
I'm sitting in front of my computer trying to decide what to write about. I've been stuck for the past few days and am now so late with my post that I needed to do something. So today I am telling you that I don't know what to tell you except what is on my mind.
This world is made up of so many beautiful people. How do I define beauty? I don't think I can. Like the editors, I know it when I see it. Sometimes it comes in the form of someone's actions, something as simple as a gift of chocolate or as great as a life-saving event. Other times it comes in the form of their words, words that encourage someone in the pit of disappointment or helping another to find direction in their life.
I guess beauty is also made up of people's hopes and dreams. Sometimes it is defined by ethnic influence or cultural constraints.
What I would like to ask is how you define beauty. Tell me what you find beautiful. The two greatest forms of beauty will be rewarded with, drumroll please.....SEE'S CHOCOLATE. My personal favorite. So let me hear from you. You've got seven days to share your form of beauty with me. Ready, set, go!
