Wreck This Journal: Make A Mess. Clean It Up.

2 Comments
(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") I've always wanted one page with a puzzle theme, but it seemed to fit nowhere in. Then accidently I stumbled over these Mini Puzzles, which had exactly the right size for the book. Lucky me! :-) I fixed both with a looot of glue on separate pieces of paper, but I haven't glued them IN the book yet. I'll do that when everything else is done, because the puzzles take simply too much pla...

0 Comments
(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, June-21: Point of view. Think about a time you were recently in public.

Time: 01:36 p.m. The human has just entered the place and goes straight to the moving stairs for the upper floor. Despite the impression, the female knows what she's doing or wanting, she just strolls around without...

One-Minute-Writer: Week 24

0 Comments
(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, June-14: Broken. Write about a time you broke something. Do you know the sound a dry piece of wood makes cracking it over your knee? When I heard it in my dreams, I woke up in shock and fear, heavily breathing. I had to focus back on reality, that this awful accident was over. You wonder, what I'm talking about? Cracking wood sounds exactly like breaking bones! My bones! Tuesday, June-15: This moment. Write about one thing you'd...

Wreck This Journal: Lose This Page./Give Away Your Favorite Page.

2 Comments
(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") A picture of the original lost page: The text says, that HELLO "Wreck This Journal" KITTY was released for good behavior from THE BOOK, but asked to leave the state for her crimes. The person, who finds her, should give her a new home, but keep an eye on her. My "Lost Page" has become my "Most Favorite Page" and gifted to my dear friend Stefanie - SHE's a fan of Hello Kitty! The background on the left is pretty easily done: only colored...

Writing Exercise 06: Developing Characters

0 Comments
(Note: This is a unit of "Schreibaufgabe.de") THE CHALLENGE To make a plot thrilling or at least interesting, your characters should want something. There also had to be (open and hidden) conflicts, means very often novels have protagonists and antagonists. When your hero has some flaws and your villain some nice qualities, your reader will be even more taken. The difficulty is NOT to tell your reader everything, that would be boring. You show through scenes what your characters want, and there...

Wreck This Journal: Fill This Page With Circles.

2 Comments
(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") The German instruction "Draw Your Circles." was simply too seductive NOT to chose that Alien and Crop Circles theme! HOW TO: - The background is made with three different water colors, very little water. - The crop circles and the tractor traces are made with Stabilos (thin felt-tip pens). - The green alien on top was separately made and then glued on the pa...

One-Minute-Writer: Week 23

0 Comments
(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, June-07: Mentor. Write about someone you have mentored or someone who has mentored you. *smile-on-my-face* I never forget my beloved Mum, who had taught her stubborn little child how to read! The clever girl had learnt every word by heart instead of truly reading them. I don't want to think what might have happened with me and my life, if my Mom hadn't discovered my little "secret". I love you, Mum! Tuesday, June-08: Sound switch....

Wreck This Journal: Bring This Book In The Shower With You.

4 Comments
(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") After my experience washing this other page, I did NOT want to take my book near any other water damages! So, what else could be done? I finally came up with the idea to simply quote a cartoon by Loriot (a famous German comedian, AKA Vicco von Buelow). In the original, it’s a cute, little, yellow squeaky bath duck, that has to stay o...

Wreck This Journal: First Page.

2 Comments
(Note: Taken from my Edition of "Wreck This Journal") The subtitle of the book says "Creating is Destroying", that made me think of the Indian Goddess "Kali". I used a full colored picture as pattern, but the black-and-white-interpretation is all my work! ...

(Note: These are writing prompts of "One-Minute-Writer-Blog") Monday, May-31: Too late. What was the last time you stayed up way too late? Was it worth it? The last time I stayed up late was for reading "Lover Mine". I had expected this book like a child Christmas Eve. So, I HAD to read and know how the story continues. Believe me, it was so worth staying up late! Tuesday, June-01: Lie. Write about one of the more ridiculous lies you've heard. Calendar says it's June, weather forecasts finally...

Confessions Of A Writaholic, Part 1

1 Comments
Hello, my name is Sheila and I am a Writaholic. Naturally I had sometime learnt reading and writing. My poor teachers were never happy with me, they called me lazy. I didn't agree. They demanded 500 words, they got exactly 500 words. Not a single word more! I simply didn't like to write. When electronic gadgets became common, I didn't fancy for a computer. Why should I? I didn't want to email. I didn't want to chat. Okay, I loved my cell, I could hang on for hours and hours. But I did NOT text!...
