Discovering the Writer Within

Back in July of 2006, I did a writer’s workshop for the American Night Writer’s Association’s annual summer retreat based on a wonderful book I found called The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan.

So without further ado, I am presenting to you: Discovering the Writer Within—a creative way to restore creativity for all artists searching for their best self.

                        

Whether you believe it or not, we have all been born with creativity.  Not only have we been born with creativity in writing but in other avenues as well.  Julia Cameron who wrote The Artist’s Way has had conversations that went something like this…….

            “When people ask me what I do, I usually answer, “I’m a writer-director and I teach these creativity workshops.” 

            The last one interests them…..

            “How can you teach creativity?” they want to know.

            “I can’t,” I tell them.  “I teach people to let themselves be creative.”

            “Oh. You mean we’re all creative?” They ask in disbelief.

            “Yes.”

            “You really believe that?”

            “Yes, I do.”

    Yes, she really does believe it and so do I.  We are the channel for novels, nonfiction writing, young adult stories, children’s stories, inspirational articles and the list goes on and on.  We have been chosen by our Heavenly Creator to share with others the inspirations that we receive on all subjects.

  Giacomo Puccini once said:  “The music of this opera (Madame Butterfly) was dictated to me by God; I was merely instrumental in putting it on paper and communicating it to the public life.”

I have felt that way many times over the course of the 20 years I have been writing to be published.  God dictates to me what to say and I write it down.  I think many of us do this as well. We are given our stories, our articles, and our writings from God and we dictate it on paper to communicate it to public life.

  There are some basic principles to learn in helping ourselves to become our best creative self for all areas of our lives and Julia Cameron goes through step by step to help us recover the creativity we already have within.  You do have creativity in you.  You just need to learn how to recover it.

  Although we are given certain gifts, sometimes we need a little nudge or encouragement to keep our creativity going.  There are two pivotal tools according to Julia Cameron that we can use to keep our writing going. 

Tool # 1:  Morning pages: In Julia’s words: (We are on a first name basis now) “In order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it. I ask you to do this by an apparently pointless process I call the morning pages. Put simply, the morning pages are three pages of long, hand writing, strictly stream-of-consciousness.”

You have nothing to write, you say??? It doesn’t matter. You can start off writing, “I have nothing to say. I need to do laundry. My curtains are dirty. Blah, Blah, Blah.” This small every day task drains your brain of garbage and is not meant to be art.

Julia says: “These pages are meant to be simply, the act of moving the hand across the page and writing down whatever comes to mind.  You shouldn’t read them back and nobody else is allowed to read them either.”

Theodore Roethke says: “A mind too active is no mind at all.”  I think we can all relate to that.  Julia also says: “All that angry, whiny, petty stuff that you write down in the morning stands between you and your creativity.  Worrying about the job, the laundry, the funny knock in the car, the weird look in your spouses eyes—this stuff eddies through our subconscious and muddies our days.  Get it on the page”

And it works!!!!  I’ve been doing morning pages on and off since I read this book in 2006.  I was better at doing it every day from the start but now after 5 filled up notebooks of stream-of-conciseness writings, I try to write in my morning pages notebook at least 3 times a week.  It is amazing how it works.  The trash and worries of the day are on paper and you are ready to get some real writing work done.

Tool #2: Artist’s Date:  An Artists Date is a block of time, perhaps two hours weekly, especially set aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness, your inner artist.  In its most primary form the artist date is an excursion, a play date that you preplan and defend against all interlopers.

                                                                                                                               

Julia suggests you don’t take anyone with you.  But with children and husband and our busy schedules I found it was easier to take children or husband with me than to not do it at all. But there were weeks that I found myself a two hour block where I could get away to some artistic time.

“Suggested Artist’s dates: long country walks, expeditions to the mountains or beach, see a concert, opera or play. Go dancing or watch a ballet. Even spending time in solitude with your artistic child is self-nurturing. There are museums, old houses, antique stores—the sky is the limit.  You are filling your well and it should be fun. Do not do what you should do, do what intrigues you.  Explore what interests you; think mystery not mastery.”

This has helped as well.  Although with a busy schedule of children and husband, I don’t get to do this every week but, it does do wonders when you do get to indulge in an artist’s date and creativity will come bouncing out in no time at all.  Feel free to find The Artist’s Way, as there are more ideas waiting to be used to restore our creative self. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and refer to it all the time. 

Happy Writing!!!

Listen to a prophet's voice.....

An Angel telling the disciples of Jesus Resurrection

This is the testimony of Ezra Taft Benson.  A beloved prophet who loved liberty and truth.  Listen to the prophet's voice this weekend during General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The liberty in this land is becoming smaller and smaller and as citizens, we need to stand up to those seeking to destroy it.

Dark Days of Promise by Shaunna Gonzales

 One of my writer friends has published her first book!!!!!  So exciting and I'm helping by dedicating this post to her new book and information for her blog tour!!!

We hope this is a great success for Shaunna---You go girl.

Dark Days of Promise:

Thirty-four year old Vicki Laramie must learn to trust before she can love, but she might die trying.

While Vicki’s children grapple with the death of their father--a man whom she’s successfully fabricated as loving, a lie her rebellious teenager recognizes--she must find a way to support her family and find a role model for her boys. She never intends to fall for Staff Sergeant Chase, her best friend’s son, who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She’d much rather choose a safer man to love, but her children have a voice in the decision she makes. With two deaths to deal with, a suitor after her money, a rebellious son, and Sergeant Chase’s repeated attacks, she can only hope to survive the danger she faces. If she doesn’t, her children will be left without either parent.

 Interview with Shaunna:

Me:  Thank you for giving us your time today, Shaunna. We are excited for your first published book, Dark Days of Promise. We would love to know more about you and how you feel about writing and being an author.

 Shaunna: It's good of you to invite me, Valerie

Me:  Why should we read Dark Days of Promise?? 

Shaunna Gonzales

Shaunna:  I've toyed with writing since a teenager but have only written in earnest since 2005. Like most authors, the first attempts were awful but this one was different. It is not what I started out to write, but certainly what Heavenly Father wanted me to write. In an effort to give Dark Days of Promise an authentic feel I endeavored to include some experiences of veterans I know and could often be found discussing the realities of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in their lives and how it could honestly be shared in this project. On the evening of this books first promotion, a woman approached me, excited to find someone who knew enough that she could have a listening ear. I realized that the scope of PTSD reaches deep into the core of our society and includes infants, children, housewives, the working and unemployed as well as veterans; in short, all of us. In an effort to treat this subject fairly, I altered my writing course from "romance with a twist" to helping our society, sufferers and innocents alike to becoming aware. It is more than those who experience the violence, more than the victims who experience this debilitating disease that are affected. It is their families, the bystander of violent crime and all of us who dare to care for and love them.

        ME: It sounds very interesting. Tell me when did you first start writing and why??

    Shaunna:  About seven years ago, after reading most of J.K. Rowlings, Harry Potter series I craved more great reads and went to the local library. After spending months wading through awful fiction, one touting its prize winning status, I threw it across the room. (In my weakened condition it only made it to the bed for a soft landing.) "I could write better than this!" I grumbled. My hubby, ever understanding of my turbulent moods answered with a calm, "Then why don't you?" It wasn't long before I set out to do just that!

ME:  Good for you!!  How do you find the determination to continue to write?? 

Shaunna: I love to write. When I get fatigued, which happens a lot with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), I only have to find the strength to look outside myself, to reflect on the conversations with PTSD sufferers and the peace they find in sharing their stories with me. Of course, not everyone is in a place where they feel they can share the dragons that haunt them every waking hour, but it is my hope that there will be more communication, if not with me, then with someone.

ME: You are an inspiration!!! How do you come up with ideas for your books? 

Shaunna: You really want me to tell that story. Okay. I wrote a Christmas romance that when I thought I had it finished, bored me to tears, literally. I knew it needed help. Not in the writing so much as it needed to fly. It needed to give the reader (and me) a reason to turn the page. Tears streaming down my face, I turned to prayer. Prayer guided a downtrodden me to my keyboard. There a scene flew from my fingers. I knew it was exactly what my ailing story needed! I remember reading it over and thinking, "Where did that come from?" I had to know if what I'd written could really happen and started asking questions. Those questions carried me to vets and some active soldiers. I've never changed a word of that scene. Punctuation? Yes. You can find that scene, in its entirety in Dark Days of Promise. I'll give you a hint which scene I'm talking about. (Vicki flys.)

ME:  What a journey you have traveled. Did you have a mentor?? 

Shaunna: One specifically? No. I have several authors whose work I admire. I read and that is how I learn, by mimicking what I see that works. This is why I refuse to read on the same day that I write, it is too easy to plagiarize with my method of learning. I have to be really careful.

ME: What do you love about writing??

Shaunna: Writing is an escape for me, whether it is into someone else's troubles or another time. Yeah, I love the escape.

ME: What do you dislike about writing?? 

Shaunna: Right now? The promoting and the energy it takes away from my writing. I'll be in the middle of an on-line chat and glance over at my notes for my WIP (Work in Progress) with longing and an apology that I've been away too long.

Valerie, this has been a joy to be here. Please invite your readers to visit my blog for posts of where I'll be on this blog tour. Sometimes I'm not sure where I'll be until the last minute. 

ME: Shaunna, thank you so much for your insights and inspiration.  Good luck with the sales of your new book and I hope it helps many people suffering from PTSD.

Fifty Shades of What?????

Throughout my travels this past month, I completely missed out on a disturbing phenomenon: Fifty Shades of Grey. All the early morning show interviews, all the hoopla for a "wonderful" sweet love story, all the media hype for what??? A book that professes that a sick kind of "love relationship" between a man and a woman is great read for everyone? I don't think so. Even worse this book is the first of a trilogy of three stories. The other two titles are Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

The story tells of a college graduate, Anastasia Steele who becomes romantically involved with a young business entrepreneur, Christian Grey set in the city of Seattle. They meet, they date and then the trouble begins.

Fifty Shades of Grey, the first in the series started off as a fan fiction story based on the "Twilight" novels. There is a small controversy whether this series infringes on copyright issues of Stephanie Myer's creations but as of late not under investigation.

It has become the fastest selling paperback of all time, surpassing the Harry Potter series which is very surprising.  Some people call this series of books a sweet love story.  I just call it erotica smut and hope to God that young girls don't pick it up to read this very disturbing story.  How can we as women promote the ideals of this book as a way to show love in a relationship to young girls who won't understand what real love is in a healthy relationship between a man and a woman?

This story has sick messages of how a man inappropriately treat a woman during intimacy.  What used to be considered pornography is now mainstream literature. If we, as mothers, laud this series as "enjoyable" and "in a class by itself" as Entertainment Weekly has written, what does that say for our society's mores in relationships?

This is a major concern for many parents as the issue of its depictions of bondage/discipline, dominance/submission and sadism/masochism (BDSM) are not appropriate for teens to read as has been reported by major news services. The examples of the relationship in the book isn't real life but a fantasy and it doesn't mean women want this kind of experience.

Some libraries have banned the book but as the public demanded the opportunity to read it, these libraries  later changed their policy to shelve the book as in the example of the Broward County Public Library in Florida.

This is a sign of the times.  What was regarded as unfit for all good men is now mixed in society as a sweet love story.  It is unbelievable to me that anyone would allow their young daughter to read such garbage spreading over the earth. Parents: be forewarned, this is a terrible story not fit to be read by anyone.

Cucumbers, Cucumbers, Cucumbers!!!!!

This is from a fantastic email:

Who would have guessed cucumbers have so many uses?!

1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5. - Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6.. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

(But don't think guys should carry one in their pocket.)

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!    

10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.
  13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

A Comprehensive List Of Obama's Worst Executive Orders JUNE 15, 2012

This President of ours does not care about what our Constitution gives us.  He is no American and he ruining our beautiful country. This is taken from an article about what our President has done for our country......
 

"After the announcement by our President to give illegal aliens quasi citizenship by fiat, I looked into the executive orders he has issued in the last three and a half years.  I found this article in "Western Journalism" that scares the hell out of me and should frighten all of us.  Get out the vote in November folks!!!  This guy is dangerous...

 A Comprehensive List Of Obama's Worst Executive Orders

JUNE 15, 2012 BY LAURIE ROTH

There have been over 900 Executive Orders put forth from Obama, and he is not even through his first term yet.  He is creating a martial law 'Disney Land' of control covering everything imaginable.  Some of the executive orders he has signed recently have been exposed thanks to 'Friends of Conservative Action Alerts.'  They have compiled a choice list of 'Emergency Powers, Martial law executive orders':  Get your headache medication out while you still can without a prescription.

 * Executive Order 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation    and control of highways and seaports.

* Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

* Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

* Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

* Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.

* Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

* Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

* Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.

* Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

* Executive Order 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issues over a fifteen-year period.

* Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

* Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

* Executive Order 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency, Congress cannot review the action for six months.

It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law.  Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health. he has it covered.

While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.

*****We must send faxes, emails, and make calls to all congressman and demand they stop Obama's perverted, extreme, and Unconstitutional abuse of Executive Orders.  It is time to demand our elected leaders start protecting America, our sovereignty, and our Constitution.  So far, they seem to be protecting the Obama - Marxist takeover plans peppered with a little U.N. and Islam."
