Writers write, right?
What a word. Too bad people don’t use it more and sneek away.
To sneek is to seruptitiously leave or arrive or depart. It might even be used in conjunction with steal. To hide some for the purpose of sneeking something away without or with your permission.
Think about these words when you wonder what I’m doing behind your back as you read this.

The word that I’d started with is a statement of ignorance.
Any time you use some and add to make it a compound word, you are admitting your ignorance.
So, if you want your listeners or readers to put a label of ignorant on you or question your speakers intellectual capacity in the dialog you are writing, use some. Nothing is definite when preceeded by some..
Watch your words, or they can bite ya in the fingertips.
Maybe a few will get a couple ideas.

The fine art of BELLERING was tweeked into existence before the telephone ☎️. If you wanted to call someone, you bellered. This was extremely useful with children. If you changed your tone of voice, the kiss could tell your mood and determin there status.
I remember bellering at a dog I had. She responded very well to my cheerful voice. When my voice had a anger in it she would tuck her Tai in and snivel all the way to me.
It takes a strong voice to beller, or you sounded like a sniveler.
Practice makes perfect, ya know.
Keep writing.

The one thing I like big time about writing is wallering. Wallering is what ya do that most folks call research.
I hit the GOOGLE button and I’m in another world. A world of reality that feels like fantasy. I do a tremendous amount of wallering in roadmaps. The names of exotic towns around the world.
My book THE SEA CALLS had me having compute how long it would take for 40 foot sailing boat to get from one place to another. 40 footers are not fast. I was amazed to find some islands I never heard of, so I had to dig up info on them. Just for the fun.
Did you know that there are islands in the Pacific ocean that are so dry you would die in a few days unless you were stranded there during the rainy season. During the storm season the waves are so high you would drown in waves that put the surface of the isle 10 feet or better. Good luck with that.
Gotta run
Happy wallering

Life sure does get in the way, but it can be fun. Working on a book. I have trashed more of it than I’ve kept. The ending evades me over and over again.
Now I know why the books say begin by writing the ending first and aim the book at that end.
I wonder if that would work with life. If we write the riding we want and then aim every action and decision toward that ending, how would that work. Aim at success as a writer. At a marriage. A career.
What do you think?
Decisions would be easier. No boredom, always a focus. Even failure would clear a new path to the same or slightly modified new end.
There would have to be a certain amount of flexibility, but even there it would just be a new route to the same end. If the road is blocked, choose another route to the same goal.
Just saying. I will be driving to a goal this week. The writing goals will be met in motels, under trees, and hiding in the garage. Praise the Lord for DELL.
Go write.
