my style of writing

I've talked before about basing my stories and writing on myself and personal experiences. That helps-I guess you could call me a "method writer."
I make some of my characters reclusive and having difficulty dealing with social situations-same as me! I have been searching forever for someone from high school and have always wondered what would happen if she came back into my life if maybe at the wrong time. I finally decided that would make a great story. I started it off with the actual conversations I had with the girl and proceeded from there.
Some of my stories contain characters named after people I have known or met online. I also blended in imaginary situations I had when I was a kid and "characters" from those scenarios.I even managed to blend in some of my (tamer) "female fantasies" into my stories. Not too worry-they're not offensive. I also blend in my personal interests (i.e. making my characters aspiring writers, having them country music and sports fans) into the stories.
I try my best to be observant so that I can see what can make a great story. If my stories were ever turned into movies, I can imagine certain actors and actresses portraying the characters.

concert

I saw another Carrie Underwood concert at the AAC a few weeks ago, and she was AMAZING!!!! she did most of my favorite songs like Undo it, Heartbeat, Dirty Laundry, Jesus Take the Wheel, and Wasted. She was all over the stage and came down on a group of wings and performed on a circular stage. I won the tickets too! Anyone who likes country music should see this lady in concert. She gives a fabulous show. My only disappointments:I didn't win a backstage pass, and she didn't perform my favorite song by her, "So Small." Other than that, I loved the concert! She has certainly come a long way since American Idol.

more writing

I am still writing. I have completed a few new stories. One expands and combines some stories and characters from previous stories (Squirrelman and the Orange Eyed Invasion stories), while another is about a guy's bucket list. That one was partially set at UT Southwestern. I am almost done with one which was inspired by a letter I once read many years ago in Dear Abby. I have made good progress on that one.
I have put up some collections on Smashwords since my last post. Feel free to check them out.
A lot of my stories are based on personal experience, so you can learn more about me by reading my stories. I like to do that.
I will keep you updated as my stories go on.
