Planning?

A Writer needs a plan and good information... but it's not an exact science...HELL< Neither is Science.

Its art, but art is science and religion unless its poor art, science, and religion. That's according to Albert Einstein... more or less.

I had a plan

But making plans seems stupid to me....Does anyone else feel that way?

This is the message I have heard loud an clear as a student of writing Fiction....but I still had to study and break it down for myself. Of course with  a little help from other writers and my
friends.

Storytelling

The Fatal Attraction of Storytelling...

          "Storytelling has a hypnotic power." It’s coded into our

DNA. Not like a frivolous and annoying radio commercial, but a

a genetic message so ingenious in nature that it is the object

of major interest, study and research.

          I remember as a child my mother and her mother

talked as they snapped peas. My grandparents worked

and farmed. Grandma’s voice interested me. I loved her

but no one sounded like her where I lived, in Norfolk,

Virginia.

          The family farm was more prevalent than a family car.

North Carolina didn’t pave many of their roads back in

the fifties. I listened to the familiar voices recalling past

events. When the conversation came turned to

a practical matter and they stopped reminiscing, I said,

          “Grandma tell me another story.”

          “Well, what cha talkin’ ‘bout Frankie,” my middle  

name is Franklin.

          “ About when you were a little girl,” I said. Storytelling

and conversation went together when I spent my youth. And

when a lull arrived in a conversation I could her a dog bark,

miles away or a rooster crow in my grandpa’s chicken lot.
