A to Z Challenge - F is for Feelings

http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

The letter f stands for feelings.

The story of The Good Pirate, Robert is one that is very emotionally driven. It was my sadness in his death that led to me to start to write the story. The message of the story is about emotional healing. So feelings are the foundation of this book.

Now feelings and emotions are a part of any story, that's true. For me, and for this story, though, they are paramount, though. Without feelings, this story would not and could not exist. You can't have emotional healing without emotions, right?

The good thing about this, is that it's not all bad feelings. Yes, there is some sadness. There's also joy, peace, excitement and wonderment...Robert's story does not fall flat emotionally. Rather, it guides us through a myriad of emotions, bringing us to a wonderful place in the end.

Sometimes feelings create the best story lines.

It's time for another A to Z Challenge! This year, I want to tell you about a story that is currently a WIP (work in progress). It's the story I'm writing in honor of my baby lovebird, Robert. It's a fantasy story, but it's really a story about emotional healing. So let's examine it by going through the alphabet!

Today, we are up to the letter e. E is for Emmalee.

Emmalee is the name of the main character, the narrator in The Good Pirate, Robert.

We experience all of Locreya, and all of the adventures with Robert through Emmalee's eyes. We also get to experience her thoughts and emotions. Writing in first person gives you a whole new perspective on the story. It's really quite fascinating to write.

Emmalee is a curious, strong willed, vibrant young woman. She pokes fun at Robert, but is quite dependent on him.She quickly finds her place among his crew. She shows us that magic and fantasy are real...even in adulthood.

Emmalee is a wonderful character, and she is the best person to narrate the story of Robert. She brings it to life!

Come on back for the letter f tomorrow!

D is for Different.

The Good Pirate, Robert is different from anything else I have ever written. It's first person, and it's fantasy. It is unlike anything you've ever read from me in the past.

I think that it's good to challenge ourselves artistically. This story has evolved in its uniqueness and differences, and to me, that's even better.

This story truly is different. It's different from my other work, but it's also unlike anything you've ever read before. It's got a wonderful message while keeping you highly entertained.

When The Good Pirate, Robert hits the press, you'll want to grab your copy immediately!

Check back tomorrow. It's the letter e, and you don't want to miss it!

Today's letter is C. C is for creativity.

I've never written a fantasy story before. Working on this has really challenged me and pushed me to be more creative, to let my imagination run wild. It has been difficult a times, but it's also been a fun challenge. It has helped me to get in touch with my inner two year old, and to help me become a better writer. So the creativity in this project has been as good for me as it will be for you.

Come on back tomorrow when we discuss the letter d!

A to Z Challenge - B is for Bird

B is for Bird

Robert was a real bird. A baby Lovebird. He was one in an unexpected clutch from our pair. An encounter with a dog left him with some brain damage. He was a bright little guy, just developmentally slower than his siblings. He charmed his way into the hearts of many as I shared endless pictures and videos of him on Facebook.

He hatched in June of 2015, and passed away unexpectedly in September 2015. I still miss him greatly. Which is why I am writing this story. I hope that once it's complete, this book will honor the wonderful little man that was Robert.

Don't forget to come back to see what the letter c will be!
