Another Short Story


  Hello all, I think I'm getting the hang of this writing stuff. I just posted another one of my short stories, and here it is. I think I like writing short stories, well, the ones under 1,000 words. They seem easier to write. The only problem I seem to have is coming up with stories to write about. Do you have that problem with finding stories to write about? Some other writers say to use the writing prompts from other websites to write. To be truthful, I don't like any of the topics that they suggest. So, I wait until I see or hear something in my travels, and then I write about it. Like when I was on a cruise this past week. I had a few stories that I will share with you. I wrote about. Me being noisy helps a lot, anyway, here's my short story, the second one I wrote off the top of my head, no less.

Important Tool


  Hello everybody. Who knew that you needed these important tools to be a writer? Especially if you're on the go a lot. I'm so used to my home computer until life started sending out the house to do things. I notice how much time I was wasting sitting in my car waiting for people who had a doctor's appointment. While I waited, I could be using a laptop to do some writing work. I recently went on a trip, and 80% of the people had their laptops doing work. I had mine too, but it was old and didn't get the job done. So now I'm in search of a cheap but good one. Hey, being a new writer, I can't afford $2,000 for a laptop just yet. Let my books make money first. Also, you need a good notebook and two to three working pens. I notice that on my trip for the last ten days, I got inspiration from the people around me to write short stories. So what I did was pull out my notebook and start writing the ideas down the old-fashioned way. Remember before computers. We used to write all our stuff down with a piece of paper and a pen? Well surprised that it still works for me anyway. So I got some good short stories from my trip. Also, you do need a cheap cellphone just in case you need to look things up on the internet real quick. I do have, but I also use my phone to take pictures for my book covers or my short stories when they get published. These are important tools of the trade, as one might say a laptop, notebook, pencil, pens, and a cellphone, and don't forget something to carry them all in.

              So, what are your tools that you use for writing that I might have missed?
