Scene ideas from life I'm outside, sitting on my front porch, drinking the day's fourth cup of coffee, reading Robert McKee's Story, when a gal walks by with her dog, the orange and white Husky that isn't a Husky. It's a sunny late-spring day and the aroma of the juniper bushes I trimmed this morning fills the air, my hoodie keeping me warm from the cool afternoon breeze. I watch her pass, seeing if she lets her large puppy poop on the yard (she isn't carrying doggie bags). She says hi, politely asks about Aika, my Husky -- "You don't walk your dog anymore?" I pause, then tell her Aika died last fall, just before the leaves began to turn into brilliant yellows and oranges and reds, explaining she was old, but that it was hard. She expresses condolences that only another puppy owner could, and walks on. And now I sit, on my porch, drinking my coffee, McKee's open book in my lap, unread, a stain slowly spreading in the lower left corner of the page. The afternoon gets late, my hoodie refusing to protect me from the chill. I get my fifth cup, move my porch chair back into the sun's light, watch the turkey vultures overhead searching for food for their chicks, and start reading. |
Yes, very visual. "We know this place, this pain." Plot... new dog, less coffee, extra doggie bags on hand, dog-walking, puppy-sitting, moving some place warmer without the memories? |

I received the following email on WdC, but I cannot find the user. Does anyone know about this? It is addressed to "Author" so I am thinking somebody 'farmed' WdC emails?? Jan 30, 2025 at 9:40am From: reggiemiller Add To: (75) Author IconMail Icon Exchange of Creation Hey Author, Today, I read your story for the first time and was thoroughly impressed with your writing skills. Your creativity is excellent, and I really enjoyed it. Please continue your work in the same manner, as it will only enhance your skills further. I can create some excellent artworks related to your stories. If you’re working on any upcoming projects, I’d be happy to help with art ideas that relate to them. This could result in unique work such as book covers, character art, or other illustrations. It would also be a wonderful gift if you commissioned me for this work.

Thank you for the consideration |

From what I understand, that was from a WDC account no longer exists, sent when it did exist. I don't think there was any email farming involved. |
