Action Scenes--Readers and Writers
What do you look for in
action scenes as readers and writers?
Do you look for action
scenes that rip your arm away from a page, turning to the next until late in
the night? Action scenes that reach down your throat making you gasp for
breath, or conflict and bold action seeming impossible to perform, but you love
it anyway.
In addition, when
"The End" arrives, you strut around several hours thinking that you
have lived a full life. Realizing in time that you were immersed in the
characters lives of the book, you had laid rest.
I have been there, and
in my opinion, reading gives us the exact amount of emotional release, with
little cost.
It is a pity that there
are a dwindling number of readers for pleasure anymore.
However, if there were
more inspiring authors like J.K. Rowling, that conclusion may be reversing.
This great author
gave-birth too many a new reader.
My questions to you, the
writers are...
Which authors do you
most resonate with in their action, and conflict scenes?
Do you have any
examples?
How about your best
action or scenes of conflict?
In your opinion, what
makes the best action scenes? Explosions i.e. the special effects created
in your mind, and or a protagonist escaping or prevailing against incredible
odds, or outright craftiness.
The novel I am working
on is my first
Star Light Star Bright,
my rough draft is about a boy at the age of thirteen becomes a Para pelagic and
discovers he has abilities beyond his functioning physical body.
I began this story some
years ago and put it away. Upon viewing the movie AVATAR, I thought it was very
similar to my creation in sever ways, so I pulled my creation out of the desk
drawer and motivated on.
I would like them to
emulate the emotions that I attempted to portray to you-- so feed back would be
helpful.
What say you?

Mustache Lovers
There was some, to do on Facebook for a time and I thought it
funny so I made an offering...
Bare with me on my
observations ...
I am not sure about mustache lovers ... but I do
know about mustache owners.
I know that mustache owners for the most part are dedicated milk
lovers.
Yes, that is true--we love milk so much-- that is
the reason we grew a mustache.
Who do you think created the popular advertisement...?
"Got Milk".
Yes, it had to be a mustache owner.
You can only imagine when that commercial aired on television the
mustache community went bonkers.
Every time we heard it, we discretely stuck our
tongue out of our mouth, raising it to the residue of milk that rested there
from our last swig.
There is also another little shared truth about
mustache owners.
The secret is that no one will know if we are Grandpas
or guys that have recently enjoyed a glass of ice-cold MILK:)
Writers Source
Whether you are an accomplished writer, painter, sculptor, actor or artist of any sorts—one always needs to connect to their SOURCE.
That steady infinite stream of ideas that pop into your imagination. “Where did I get that?”
That ah ha!
The knowledge from your Omnipresent or ubiquitous source...
How many times have you stood outside a door knocking, in the
cold, the rain, the snow blowing, or the oppressive heat. Were you imagining
what was on the other side? A warm, dry and friendly room with fireplace, or
air conditioning with possibly a swimming pool out back.
Was there ever a moment for a split
second that your imagination was so electric, that time froze, and your dream
became true?
It is only to read some of the best
works of writers, novelists, sculptors, actors, dancers and artists of every
type—to know without question that they have lived through their art, whether
realizing it or not.
In the King James version of The
Holy Bible Matthew 7-8: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For
every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks
it shall be opened.
Explosive Creativity is a
process just like life.
Help yourself, open that door
often.
I do not like those long drawn
out sales letters, asking you to buy the product until the writers sales
creativity tires.
I have never finished one, and
many I become so irritated I bailed from the sale.
Sooooo, if you have and itch, please
buy my sessions.
Then, proceed with me on our
journey … and YOU—Become what you want to become.

Where do you get your ... story?
Do you model after
another story? Author?
Do you just begin the quest
to complete a work? Or, like myself, just
screwing around writing a few pages and read what I have written.
"Hey, that doesn't
sound too bad," we may say, and become interested enough to see where this
thing is going, and write some more.
I do that. Just putzing around I began
a story, and then put it away for a year. Maybe it had three pages at best. About a year or so
later, I went to the movies and see Avatar, in 3D ... what a great ride.
I thought ... that is allot
— kind of sort of — like the story I began.
I went home and now I am
54000 words into it. My story was not in another distant world, but it had similarities,
that were too interesting to pass up.
And... What about
killing off characters. Do we clandestinely plot and kill them off when they
least expect it?
Perhaps an inner voice
says, "Do IT, do it know!"
I will give you an
example.
I will call my character
a bad guy, but you could call him a villain, antagonist, or what ever you want.
One evening I was just
writing along when this little voice popped into my brain and said that it was
time to kill this bad guy.
Well, in my mind I
answered back that I had no intentions of killing off this particular bad guy,
and that he is staying with me to the end, and at the least another
thirty-thousand words...for, that little voice must
have had some pretty powerful MOJO, cause about one-hundred and fifty words,
more or less and that bad guy had a blade pulled right across his throat, his body crumpling onto the carefully placed plastic sheeting that he discovered only
fractions of second before he dropped ... DEAD.
Whew, that was allot to
say in one breath.
You will get to meet him
when I begin my introduction to my 'characters' somewhere soon when that little
voice from within says, NOW!
This thing we call
Fiction Writing ... It is a mystery. What is your take on it?
Dave Powell
When I have enough followers asking for story review, I will begin.
For now, I am still figuring out how to blog.
My Opinion on Writing and Reading fiction for pleasure or pain.
From where, does our
creative content come? It is a
mystery.
Could it originate in an
alternative universe, or systems that we cannot comprehend, only to be
expressed by our past or future experiences in those universes, or systems?
On the other hand,
perhaps it is tapping into the collective consciousness (all human thought from
the beginning) or the infinite collective consciousness (collection of all
thought, from all life form—physical, non-physical, animal, vegetable ... Everything.
ARE we writers, merely putting to
paper events from the past present or future and reporting them as we see or
saw it?
And... Since there is no
end, only an expanding now—isn't there endless scenarios of our soul's
experiences.
Pretty cool to think
about it — what do you think?
Made in the USA
You know… I have been a proponent, a fanatic, a nostalgic
supporter of buy made in the USA
for decades now.
Born in 1946, you might say, that I have seen the best of
this wonderful land and its people.
But… I became excited the other day when I discovered Levi ’s, yeah, our good ole denim Levi’s actually Made
in the USA .
I went to the web site and about crapped my wallet.
$140.00 was an average price.
Now I am not cheap, but can’t afford much of that…
If this is a sign at what prices will be, to bring-it-back …
then I believe our job base, of upward mobility and robust economy, is doomed
to extinction.
What’s Lost is Lost, and never can return.
Labor Unions began causing the exodus, greed, and
politicians playing the international game perpetuated it, and we the people
bought into it.
Now folks we are stuck in the hardening results … the cement
of a global economy.

Consciousness --Thought
What
was the first thought in your mother’s womb at birth?
What
will be the last thought of your life be at your death?
Recall
the thought at your soul’s creation.
Take
your thought and multiply it by 2. Now, with those two thoughts take them
to the power of seventy.
270
= 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 streaming thoughts timeless, free of
language, free of religion… free, to create.
Stretch
your mind and thoughts to infinity.
Harvest
your thoughts at will.
Journeys for the mind… a series in hypnotic trance
Stay Tuned...
When you are ready I will come.

Forks ... invention
I believe that aliens from another universe, introduced
forks initially, by accident.
Using this instrument to tune their frequency propulsion
generators, they mistakenly left it behind.
A farmer came along finding the interesting object, and
thought that on a larger scale it would make a great device for turning sod and
tossing hay.
His female mate saw it ... and, well— history was made:)
