Stories and Wonders by Patrick Austin Ward

More stories are coming, they’re just taking their own sweet time. Part of the problem, is that the stories I want to tell require longer intervals than a quick typing session at the end of the night. In a way, that may be a good sign. I’m trying to think about these stories more; give them more life, stronger characters, and deeper emotion. I’m trying to garner a deeper understanding of the method, but that also means more practice. Unfortunately, some of these practice sessions just aren’t blog worthy. They are snippets of scenes and exercises that are of interest only to me.

There are days when you glide onto the ice without concern, and there are days when you’re slipping as soon as you hit it. Today, was one of those latter days for me. No need to go into details; just one of those days.

All I want to say, is never give up. No matter how bad your life is, no matter how far down that rabbit hole you think you’ve gone, always remember that what you’re feeling is just that one moment; it’s temporary. Wherever you are, you’re only there for an instant. It will all change, and most likely for the better.
