To write or not to write, is not the question.

Some days you can try to conjure up a topic to write about, whether it is a passion or just something that passively irritates you. It’s not easy to just do it. And it can become very exasperating when the library of your mind is elusive or checked out. It’s a force that has toContinue reading “To write or not to write, is not the question.”

Just The Meat. Not The Gristle.

A lot of people ask me what the tag line, “Just the meat. No gristle” for Chu The Cud means. It’s a style of my writing. Much of today’s writing comprises of 20 pages of fluff, colorful, flowery, adjective filler to tell you what they can and 1 to 2 pages. That’s the gristle. TheyContinue reading “Just The Meat. Not The Gristle.”

Learning while creating.

What do you enjoy most about writing? What I enjoy most about writing is learning more about the topic I’m writing about while becoming better at storytelling. When I write, I love to use a thesaurus and learn new ways to say the same thing. There are so many tools at our fingertips to takeContinue reading “Learning while creating.”

The Aspiration of Intention.

How do you plan your goals? Goals are a convoluted, intricate aspiration. They always can seem within reach but then some event or situation pops up, breaking the magnifying glass alluding to that perspective and suddenly the goals look to be far away. The objective of goals being achieved is comparable to a staircase ofContinue reading “The Aspiration of Intention.”
