Meander 1 - Poem The Garden Part 1
The garden gate is locked.
The bolts are fastened firm.
Outside I stand without a key
Rejected and forlorn.
I hear the sounds of laughter.
I would that I could join.
But the gates are closed and bolted
Rejected and forlorn
Through a knothole, I see people
Loving and finding joy.
I beat my fists upon the gates
Rejected and forlorn.
No answer comes, no welcoming
No arms reach out to me
I stand without and look within
Rejected and forlorn
Meander 2 - Making arrangements - Spent the morning finding rides for husband to dialysis in June when his transport will be in Florida. I've found the place. Now I need to look at my insurance to see if they will cover part of the cost. Then I must get the two other riders providers on tap and we will be set. Hopefully by Tuesday, all will be set.
Meander 3 - Writing. Still struggling with my latest WIP the Virgo Pisces Connection. I think I'm finally coming to the point of being able to make this one word since it's a bit different from each of the others and am bringing in abuse this time. We will see how this goes. Having four of twelve chapterswill help but I must do each one separately so I can keep the momentum going.

Wednesday's Writer's Tip - Arrangements #MFRWauthor #Writing
How do you arrange your story? This is something to consider and to do this you must take the characters under consideration. What makes an incident important to the character and to the reader?
Your story has to have an order so it will make sense but how do you determine the order of the story. Do you write chronologically? This can be effective except you might include scenes that have no real impact on the story. You must pick and choose the incidents that are important. A lot of backstory can bore the reader. Leaving out some important incident can also do the same.
Do you arrange your material looking at the causes and what effect they have on the characters? This can make the characters seem real. But who do you choose to be the person experience the cause and the effect. Choosing one character over the others can show the story one way. Choosing another character in the spotlight and you can have a different story.
Still, you must have some kind of order in which you tell the story. You must use the order to show the characters in action and reaction.
As you put your story in order, you must use description. Also you must look at vividness and brevity. Which one for this scene or that scene? That is your choice.
