My first Story!

When I first started this blog I informed you that I had a dream of writing a novel. And that fantasy is my genre of choice. Well I wrote a small portion of a story years ago. A Blurb. A prologue. Had ideas, but they were not well thought out.
   
   Well I suppose it is time I put it out there, who knows maybe some reader will have ideas to share with me and will spawn ideas of my own and i can continue.  I would love it to continue.


So here it goes.......


  The room fell silent and still when he entered the inn.  Heads turned in his direction, conversations halted and patrons libations sloshed en route to mouths, some even in mid swallow.  
  At first sight there would seem to be no evident reason to take pause and pay any attention to the stranger.  He was average in size, medium build and height.  His shoulder length hair brushed across his face as a breeze  in which he stood curled in from outside the open doorway.  A pair of gangly shipmen were the first to break the silence.  "Close the damn door! I'm here to get outta that bloody mess!" muttered the roughest of the sailors.  The stranger in the doorway lowered his head and took a step into the building and towards the loud-mouthed sailor. With his left hand he gently guided the Inn's door closed.


   He was dressed completly in black, save a pair of green leathered gloves..He took another step further into the Inn.  Bringing both gloved hands to his face he pulled his hair away and place it behind his ears. Raising his head head slightly, he gazed intently on the grizzled sailor.
  "Don't be startin' 'nottin Ned....," whispered the companion boatman. "You know the Cap'n said you had better'd keep yer mouf shut fore we set out in the morning".




OK......that is hard to type and read, it has been to long since High School.  I will have to keep adding bit by bit.  Believe it or not that is 3 pages worth of my little notebook.
Till next time

MOvember!

Ever do something because everyone else is? I have, and I am.  But this is for a good reason and cause.

It is Movember, the time of the years when facial hair dominates the month. Every man vainly sports a moustache to raise awarenes for Prostate cancer research. All cancer research is important in my books. while no-one i know in my family has died or suffered form this particular type, I do have friends and family that have had cancer.  My wifes father passed away this spring having had it take over his internal organs. http://mobro.co/AdrianBou
I don't like asking for funds but if you are feeling at all generous please take the time to pledge for future research.

Thank you

What to write?

So I have a follower. Yay me! Is this good?  Yes.  Do I know the aforementioned ? Yes indeed. :)
She is a very dedicated friend, very glad I can call her that.  As I started this blog I wondered quietly if my writing was witty, poignant or erratic?  I think messy, chaotic is better.  I really don;t know what i expected to write about or to whom I am writing.  The mass public, the inadvertent blog spy? do I want to impart MY wisdom?  or just write?

I supposes i am like most people who crave some sort of attention, crave notoriety, albeit on any scale. Dreams as I've said before are easy to have but are not so easy to obtain. I have a very good chance of getting  100 miles in the air, but not even a slim chance of making it through the atmosphere.

I think in this blog I will try to obtain the dream of writing.  It might be short, scattered and impromptu. But at least I WILL Write, Right??

How does it go?

Well, Hello!  This is a first for me as I am sure it is for everyone. I normally would feel ill-prepared to comment on life, the universe and everything.  I don't feel entirely important, profound, or have regular poignant thoughts. 

I enjoy a very punny/sarcastic humour that has people either giggling or groaning.  I enjoy either respone to be honest.  I hav e dreams, asperations, and goals.  They range in easily acheived to totally unacheivable.  But as someone once told me....DREAMS Are FREE!

The greatest of these dreams is to write a novel.  Many have this dream, just as many do not! Perhaps it will happen one day.  I actually have a chapter/prologue written.  I will post it at some point.

Until that time we will see how it goes!
