lol Cogito you will have to find new things to pun I'm afraid......and come up with more. Though I'm sure it won't be hard at all

 

Depends on How hard.

 

lol well we always seem to leave ourselves open to his puns so it shouldn't be that hard really!

 

What? Me commit puns?

Where's the evidence...

 

We will have to devise a PUNishment then.

 

Maybe in a way it is easier to come up with characters and stories for children than adults. Day before Christmas I went to one store and they had all sorts of stuffed animals on sale for really cheap so I bought a bunch. Went to another store where they had 3" tall dolls in really cute outfits so I bought 3. Then 2 days after christmas went back and bought a bunch more critters and dolls just to have on a shelf where they will sit until they enter a story.
They don't even get names until story time.
Is this sort of the way others come up with ideas?

 

I randomly think of names out of the blue and then set to creating a character. I've a massive book of them now too. I use them for my writing and nothing else. Even my poetry has been based on some of them.

 

When I start to write I don't have anything in mind. Just start talking to the critter or it is talking to something else. Then as I write the name is just there. No thought in the process at all. Kind of strange I think.
If I do think of a name first they never match the story and I have to change them.
Alfred would never do for a hero and Lynda is not much of a glamorous name so they would be changed or never used.

 

well see I always create and know my characters like they are real people to me before I begin writing. If I don't I can't write. Strange but that is how it works for me. Not many people I know do it like that.....

 

I think that is where children writings are so different. Just put a word down and let the imagination flow.
If I was writing for adults I would probably think the story out a head of time and then put it down on paper. It would probably be very stilted and forced.
But children are just fun and I am childish enough to take full advantage of the fact.

 

I love writing for children, I write for mine all the time. Just never show anyone

I even write them lullabyes.....they love it too, especially when their names re in there!

 

In a way that is when my story telling really took hold.
When you can't get off the couch without a lot of pain you tend to do things with children that doesn't require much effort. So I would start a story and tell it to a certain point then Ray or Dan would add to it and I would finish it.
We took magical adventures all over the world and the moon and just had a lot of fun.
So then I started writing down my stories when I figured I wouldn't be around to tell my grandchildren stories since they live so far away. I can email them to them and Sean reads them to his younger sister.
And yes don't children love to be in the story.

 

ahh they sure do.
It is funny to see how excited they get,
I;ve even put photos of them in there and written stories for the photos
that really gets them excited, almost like a diary for them really

 

night all I am off to do house work I put off earlier

talk again sometime later today

Have fun, T

Hello everyone.

Hey Leaka.

I'm a little bouncy today.
And its has nothing to do with sugar.

What has it to do with?

 

I don't know really.
Woke up feeling pretty good.
I think its cause I hit my head on my bed's backboard. Maybe I have sustained an amount of brain damage or something.
