GESTURES

Writing is not easy and the scribe must add more words for the visuals of the story then when verbally told. The gestures of body, face expressions, and the voice add clues to the spoken word for a listener. A read can imagine but if the writer wants more control, more words of description are necessary, only caution not too many or the reader is bored. BALANCE  is the key, and the SECRET is clues positioned here and where within the text for a picture of the scenes and with the characters, just enough, not too much, or, no clues like a picture book or poem. Let the listener/reader illustrate their vision. Picture books do have illustrators still not as good as how the mind sees.

Rhyonna is flying.

So, the story is written, edited again and again and by professionals, and formatted  uploaded to ebook stores. Now Rhyonna pleased and happy, the merriest of faeries because she is not sitting on her favorite rock or resting on her Dandelion, she streams with the others. And while she streams, floats, glides, sometimes pushed with the wind, Rhyonna lands on different flowers and rocks  for parties and celebrations. Never does Rhyonna suspect that is all set-up for her as she trips around the ether. One can buy and read her story on Smashwords; Amazon POD; CreateSpace.com.   

There will be more streaming with others as she flits around.

The Writer, the Poet, or the Illustrator ---> WHO is in charge?

 
The one who draws with lines from a pen, pencil, paint brush, or ink is the first to see the story and wants to draw it on a piece of paper for others to see. Then the poet arrives as the first voice with words to form images the drawer sees. The storyteller arrives and enhances, exaggerates, and exploits with verbal words and gestures to show the image of the drawer and words of the poet making the story clearer for a listener. By noting how the listener takes the story, which is the plot, characters, scenes; the storyteller knows what was heard or not. Then coming forth is the writer who finds the perfect words to make a written story.  From the drawn images, poetic voice, gestures, to the word symbols; the story is born.  **** Rhyonna has her story.

Oh yes, there is always the character who inspires and insists what is told.

Clarion's write-a-thon June 23 to August 3, 2013

Another Clarion write-a-thon came and is gone. Book III of the Elfin Letters finished! AS IT IS Now, Magic,

After intense writing for 28 days, plotting, characters sorted, corrected names, and the Lassies' letters in order, very important, I finished 22 chapters of AS IT IS, Now MAGIC. The letters from the Lassies tell of the Elfin magic in Rainbow Village and the spirited folk around the gardens. The hardest decision was what villagers to be in the story. One winner was Alfegar the pixie, he does bring his special magic and humor to the Member's Circle. Also for spice a few seedy spirits arrived via the INBetween into the gardens.

The point of the story is that the Elves learn about their magic, good and bad; and what they give to the Lassies, good and bad; who else is attracted by this magic.
