Writing Music, Writing Stories

Music
Two notes combine to form a promise
A premise
Another note, another chord
An emerging theme
Variation

Tone, pitch, pace, rhythm
Forte piano, major minor
Largo allegro staccato legato

A scene, a single note
Oboes, drums, electric guitar
Conflicting players
Rise to a powerful climax
Fall to a gentle conclusion
Story

Tenacity

Tenacity: Persistent determination

I love saying that word. Te-nac-it-y.

It makes the nose crinkle and comes out of the mouth like a cool breeze.

Te-nac-it-y.


My refrigerator proudly displays a quote by Winston Churchill:

"NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP"

My writing motto.

Tenacity.
