Excuse me for the absence and lack of posting. Writing a short story is harder than i thought and i have less than one week to do it. I recently saw Throw Momma From The Trainfor the 50th time and am now understanding the writers frustration.
I think i have been on "the wind howled" for two weeks now. I don't have any characters, any setting but simply "the wind howled...". I think if i heard a wind howl right now i would throw my computer and this stupid short story out the window.
Thanks wind and your dumb howling.

Good luck with your story. Merry belated Christmas and may your New Year be full of more fruitful writing endeavors! Looking forward to reading some of them on your blog eventually?
Personally, I always get inspired by great writing style. I don't know how insipiring "throw mama from the train" is, but here are some of my favorites: Khaled Hosseini (Kite Runner), and Claire Messud (The Emporer's Children).
Sorry I've been so infrequent around here...
Happy New Year, sweetie!
