Are there stories jumping around in your head?

creativity, stories, writing

Stories. Did you know that some people have stories jumping around in their heads and itching to get out? Do you have stories in your head? I attended a gathering of non-fiction writers last night to hear words of wisdom and encouragement from one of our well-traveled local writers. He explained that his transition from photographer to writer was driven, in part, by the stories in his head. He came to realize that his photographs captured a moment, almost voyeuristically, without explaining the stories behind the subjects. This frustrated him. Several listeners murmured in recognition. They chuckled over the cacaphony of stories in their collective heads.

Am I alone in my poor empty head? I have no stories. There’s nothing in there. Nada. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy writing grants. I can take someone else’s story and make it interesting to read. Or I can craft the story of an organization to make it appealing to a potential benefactor.

I enjoy the craft of putting words together, balancing a sentence, achieving the rhythm and flow of a good paragraph. But I have no stories. There are no subjects for my word games. No characters to populate my sentences. I have an empty noggin. It’s lonely in there.

Some of my favorite Blogs

  • Alles ist gut Great opportunity to practice reading German while enjoying photos, recipes, and adventure essays from across the pond.
  • Catterel Catherine’s blog is as esoteric as mine, filled with poetry, photos, and general ruminations.
  • Cinemuse Some of the best film reviews I’ve read. My go-to site when considering my entertainment options.
  • Denise Bush Photography Fine arts photography with a deep connection to the landscape
  • Explorumentary A sublime melding of the eye of a scientist with the visual and verbal poetry of an artist. Sue shares her hikes into some of the most remote regions of our glorious country.
  • In Flow Creativity is what this one is all about. Great photography, tips, and inspiration.
  • Jane's Heartsong Your heart will sing right along with Jane’s when you see how she captures the essence of life in the world outside her door.
  • Licht Years: Where are you going, where have you been? “Nirvana is this moment seen directly.” Susan Licht offers us nirvana in each of her lovely images. She excels at taking advantage of existing light to see into everyday objects. And how very fitting that her last name means “light.”
  • Musings of an old fart Independent and scrupulously-researched perspectives on current events
  • Renee Johnson Writes: There is no going back behind a dark curtain of self-doubt. Following her dreams, writing, honing her craft, and engaging with other writers.
  • Zeebra Designs & Destinations An artist’s eyes never rests, nor does Z. Living here and there, writing, teaching, beautifying and spreading joy where ever she goes.
