Meeting You-February 27th!

Ah, writing.  The process of developing, creating, writing, re-writing, editing, and finally watching a work come to fruition is a beautiful thing.  Attempting to bring to life images that roll through your head and effectively infecting your computer with the virus of your mind is the only way a cure for this thing we call creativity can be administered.

To breath deeply of a lonely forest rife with decomposing boughs and rotting leaves from the previous year's Fall, aptly described by someone hoping to share with you the sights and scents a writer, tucked away in the confines of his office, experience, or thought he experienced, or one he wants to experience, is a glorious thing when written with words (but seen in the mind's imaginary pictures). 

As an example I give you this little gem from the recesses of my mind:

"Rex, an eleven pound minature greyhound, was a happy-go-lucky rescue that found enjoyment at throwing pieces of dried dog food from his bowl then chasing the piece around the kitchen floor.  Not long after filling his little belly with a protein enhanced diet, Rex would spend time grooming himself, primarily by licking his butt, and an empty area that once contained his doggy masculinity.  A short time later he would hop in his owners lap then lick his owner's face--one laughing and happy to have such a wonderful animal in his house, the other seeking retribution for allowing someone else to emasculate him."

Describing a scene, as morbidly funny as it may be, in hopes that a reader can somehow relate is the ultimate goal of the writer.  When you, the reader sends emails or messages telling the author how much you enjoyed what was written in a particular passage, a large smile will pass across his face (his, generally speaking my female author friends).

February 27th from 9:00AM-2:00PM, I will be sipping some glorious coffee at JaMoka's Coffee Shop in Boaz, Alabama.  Access is easy, the ambiance perfect.  The environment is cozy, a little tiki-ish, warm, and inviting.  While I sip coffee, I'll be signing my books for you, the constant reader. 

This is a time we can sit and discuss our dreams, our creativity, and our desire to relate to someone we've never met but share some strange cosmic commonality.  Come see me, grab a book...and let's chat.
