The Brick.... hits you in face


When I write...which is all the time. (Whether or not it gets into the computer is another thing.) I find to be paralysed by almost anything around me. Yesterday at church I found myself staring at the bricks on the wall. Suddenly it was as if one came out and hit me dead center of my fore head. Wasting time is not good and moving forward is. Just put it out there...its okay. The idea is maybe not to over think everything and go for it. What I'm trying to say is that everything that I see spores a idea. I can't help to be in a place for where my mind starts to race. Every look, every response, every object will bring on a new attitude in my writing. So it hit me like a brick to stop dwelling on all the negative and move along ...Okay Ty kind of influenced me too!

My First Four Stories...

So, I have these four stories that I have titled. I don't feel that the titles are permanent but diffidently this is a sure way to keep them straight. Critique the heck out of the titles I don't care maybe a fabulous title will come out of it. I'll start by giving you the title with a synopsis of each story. .

Hugo Martinez- Is about a 17 year old young man that comes from Mexico and meets a girl. Faced with prejudice barriers and religious and cultural differences he struggles to allow himself to fall in love with her. Genre=Romance, Drama

Football Camp- Is about a 15 year old boy's adventure of his one summer in Boise, Idaho at football camp. Adversity and antics become the congruous norm. Genre=Adventure

Oh boy?- Love starts young in this elementary school where Annie just started. She becomes fast friends with twins Jessica and Erica who can't stop crushing on a boy. The cutest boy in the whole world. Genre=Romance, Adventure

Superhero- Natalie is 16 and shes ready to start dating. Is there any one out there? They must be either a vampire, werewolf or a superhero of some sort. Will she find one? She thinks she has. Genre= Romance, Adventure

Welcome to ellister writes...

Welcome to my first ever blog about the things that I write. I'm hoping that it will give some insite on what I'm doing with some of my extra time. Just so you know my mind stays busy all the time with a flurry of actions and situations that are constantly developing. I have several characters that I am writing about and I really would like to share them with you. From time to time I am totally inspired by a comment or a gesture that someone has made and my characters start acting out in accord. It is amazing to me how they just don't go away. So when I find amusement by staring at the wood grain in the walls molding... please don't think I'm crazy...lately for some reason I fine it relaxing as my characters play.
I currently have four stories started and not any of them completed. I would like to share with you, pictures of persons that might look like my characters and their detailed writing of character developement. Or maybe of a particular items of interest so that I may try to get some of them out of my head. Whatever the reason I am hoping that this blog will keep me organized and to stay on track with my writing goals. Also, and this part is very, very important...I am hoping for some real honest...honest meaning true feed back. Seriously, a great way I will grow as a writer is...by getting some critiquing back. So here I go, I'm not going to cut off my ear or anything but I hope to be very dedicated to my writing...to see where these stories will end up. I'm excited!
