Life changes

Change is something that’s on my mind a lot at the moment. In three months (or less, or maybe a little more) my third child will be entering the world.

Are all changes good?

In life we have some great changes and some not so great changes.
But from a writer’s view point ALL changes are good.
Why you might wonder? Is this blogger insane?
Why, to write we need to experience all manner of feelings, be it from reading, watching or being in the thick of things.

Change In Our Writing

I am sure that many of you, at least myself, have been writing for several long years now. We can’t help it. We are drawn to the craft like a parched throat to water. We don’t just want it, we need it.

After writing for several years, many of us have collected our past writings here and there, kept for reference or memories. They might be in forgotten word documents on your computers, a tossed aside flash drive, jammed in a file folder in you desk somewhere, or any number of indiscreet places where you may stumble across them at a time and have the urge to read them.

And when we do, we see change.

Arcs & Change

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.  ~Victor Frankl

As writers we are students of the human condition. We create characters, usually in the image of human beings, we create worlds, cultures, societies and throw them into conflict. That conflict is always driven by one thing: change.

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes

Ch-ch-Change, just gonna have to be a different man, time may change me, but I can't trace time. - David Bowie, Changes.

There are changes afoot. Something in the air, you can smell it, feel it. There is an feeling of desolation, loneliness and emptiness that comes with change. What is changing?
