His white skin was covered with a grey jacket that he's wearing when I saw him. And when his eyes met mine, that's been looking at him from then, I looked down and bit the inside of my cheek when I found it hard to breathe. written by: @keilaaluu_ (formerly: flawedfelicity)

I wrote these short value statements to help myself focus on the rewards of making art, and minimize discouragement.

These values are at the core of achieving satisfaction in the pursuit of art, whether it be visual, musical, lexical, or performative. --- 350 words

All deaf people are the same, right? Absolutely, not! I believe I am one of a kind. This is the true story of a small town girl from Louisiana who has a very original life and you can decide for yourself if she should be labeled deaf, hearing, or nothing at all and just a person. She's different than the rest and is a little lost. All is true except for the names. Use the information if you want to write a story with a deaf backstory, or contact me if you have any questions.

When you don't know what you don't know- you just don't know! Take love. You know you love and you know yours is the best possible love because it IS what you know. But when you meet LOVE love... Suddenly you know what you didn't know before. And in this knowing... everything changes. Or does it?

"You two become farmers? You must be kidding!" How little our friends really knew us. Sure, that's how life had been for the Secretary and the Building Supervisor... but those were the keywords - "had been". An opportunity had arisen to learn farming, working for a friend for 18 months on a 6,000 acre cropping and sheep farm he'd inherited... our 'apprenticeship'. Once our rural sojourn began, it continued until today on our small retirement farm. Here are the tales of our journey, filled with humour and pathos; joy and a few sorrows, too; and woven throughout, our absolute love for the land and the animals we have shared our lives with. Each chapter is a 'stand alone' providing a choice for a quick read 'on the move' - or a more leisurely and relaxed involvement with my words. Enjoyed this first book in my 'Old McLarsen had some Farms' series? Now there's 'everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask' about a decade of dairy-farming in South Australia in my second book - 'The Milky Way'. This first book is available in ebook format at Amazon, and through Smashwords and their outlets, and I have been pre-recording excerpts for local radio. These are to be broadcast soon and I will be able to share them on Soundcloud in far superior quality than my amateurish sampling there just now. I have also begun a couple of different kinds of memoirs - 'Just Moodling About... My Favourite Things', and another - 'Growing up in the Fifties' And - 'Wishful Thinker' - my first collection of short/short stories and anecdotes . My writing skills don't extend to the creation of deeply hidden allegories or metaphors. I like it this way and hope you understand my simplicity of choice. I welcome your thoughts on my stories. This way I can learn and write in the future, so please don't be afraid to express 'the good and the bad' (maybe not any 'ugly'). And please don't hesitate to share and/or vote to show your enjoyment.

Dear Little Seed is a letter to my younger self when I was going through the hardest time in my life in which I was struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one. I want this letter to show others that there will be times when life seems hopeless, but those are the moments where you can grow. Think of it this way, a seed can't grow without dirt. Special thanks to @--emma for helping come up with this title and for being with me through this portion of my life. Entry for #13ReasonsWhyContest Thanks to @BookChook for the cover art on the first chapter!

As the title suggests, my second book of memoirs encompasses tales from our decade of dairying on our own farm, back in our home State of South Australia. A different learning curve from the first farm, but no less steep. This time much experience was gained the hardest way - 'hands on' and teaching ourselves. The stories abound, as before, of the whole gamut of feelings from ultimate happiness to the depths of despair. Another celebration of the human spirit that laughed in the face of the tough times, and endured... and survived. This is second book in my Old McLarsen had some Farms series - 'The Milky Way' features tales from our dairy farm in our home State of South Australia, and follows the first 'Old McLarsen... ' book 'Brave Beginnings' , available in ebook format at Amazon, and through Smashwords and their outlets, and I have been pre-recording excerpts for local radio. These are to be broadcast soon and I will be able to share them on Soundcloud in far superior quality than my amateurish sampling there just now. ** 28/2/2016 - I have found a most receptive and supportive home on Amazon's Write On by Kindle platform. I'm finding the other writers there full of helpful advice and opinions of writing problems, not to mention friendship and fantastic encouragement. - So much to learn on their forum, and weekly 500 word 'flash' story challenges to take up if you choose. Wonderful experience in looking outside the square, and tightening writing style. - Sorry to the few who have followed me, but I will be focusing my creativity at Tablo (because it's Australian and working hard to become a force in this field), and Write On. The personal benefits and learning curves are too fantastic for me to miss.

The musings, humor, fairytales, love letters and poetry of a GenX Momma brain. I've been encouraged through other Wattpad authors to continue writing, so this is the start of that request. Evidently I have quite a few stories to tell I hope you enjoy them, and leave a comment and vote.

Why do we tell stories? How could we tell stories? How could we influence the readers? How could we affect their emotions? How does a writer affect your vision of the world? Questions and thoughts. My own answers and ideas. -Cover made by: https://www.wattpad.com/user/-ichor

Nothing sucks more than wanting to write but you're empty of ideas. Especially when you know your imagination works but it's just blocked up with writers flu. Here's a guide to unstick yourself by using Tarot cards to build a story. This could aid you in new ideas or just be a fun writing exercise to work those creative muscles. You don't have to believe in magic to use them but you do need to own a deck to follow the tasks in this book. This book uses established writers' story structure tips and adds the fun of tarot cards. The last chapter has a quick how-to on personal readings. Updated 01/05/2020 Added a few things since I've developed more with my cards and study.

Hiking the Vermont peaks over 4,000 feet is a short but must-do list if you're going for the Northeast 115. For me, it's five mountains, one challenge, a new state, new trails, and new places to explore. From the summits, I can look across Lake Champlain and see what I just accomplished in the Adirondacks. It's that feeling of finishing one chapter and jumping right into the next. Every peak reminds me how far I've come, what I've pushed through, and all the adventures still waiting.

After quitting our jobs, my partner and I hopped on a one-way flight to Asia to spend six months exploring. Come along for the ride! Journey through historic and busy China, beachy and rural Thailand, temple-tastic Myanmar, delicious and sleek Malaysia, the stunning and surprising Philippines, jaw-dropping, adventure-filled Nepal, classy Singapore, and Indonesia's underwater wonderland. Combining my love of travel, writing and photography, Travel Drabbles is an ongoing collection of bite-sized, visual chapters. The strange love child from when travelogue met poetry. Brace yourself for the good the bad and the ugly, plus the funny bits in between.
