The Pen Collecting Sailor

I was lying under a tree by the river when a boat pulled up to the dock. The captain opened the cabin door and emerged from the interior of his vessel. I recognized him at once. He was the same sailor that had docked and invited me aboard some months ago.
He wore a torn and faded cap baring a strange symbol I had never seen before. He gave a hearty laugh when he saw me and motioned for me to climb aboard. I did so and he invited me into the cabin for a glass of tea. I obliged and we were soon seated at a scrubbed wooden table, rocking back and forth with the motion of the boat.
He showed me the many pens that lined the walls of the cabin, and told me of how he had traveled the far reaches of thought to collect each and every pen, and how he was on a mission to find the perfect pen. We continued to chat until the sun sank beneath the clouds and he left port to continue his search for the pen of his dreams.

From the mind of a young thinker

The mind is a wonderful thing. It allows you to roam free, to delve into unknown realms that would otherwise be unreadable. One can dance among the clouds or swim in the deepest ocean. The mind holds incredible power, but it can only be released if the person chooses to release it.
I have chosen to release it, and as a result, My World is thriving and growing like never before.
The library room has opened new doors of possibility. Dormant and dusty shelves and books have been cleaned and set free from their wrongful neglect.
The sun in the sky burns bright, radiating the warmth of peace and hope throughout all of My World. It never rains. When the rains did come, it was a sign of weakness, of sorrow and sadness, an ill effect of the things that weighed heavy on my heart. Those things have lifted and yet I need still be on my guard. I show caution at the water's edge, lest the Nuzzard nestle deep within the confines of my mind, and is capable of physically scooping me up from the sands of the bank. My woes of the Nuzzard have however been set aside for now, due to the fact that all is well and all shall be well, from now to the days to come.

Woes & Wonders

I spent half the night last night worrying and wondering if I might be in danger from an outside predator, such as the mysterious Budge Nuzzard.
I scorned and scoured, searching every inch of my library, hoping that I just might find a clue as to anything odd happening in the history of the "neither realm." Yes, there is a name to the strange universe of the human brain. But, Alas, my searches all come up empty.
I was also hoping that I might learn something new about the Nuzzard, but again to no avail. Only one saying from a distant wise man keeps swimming into the vision of my thoughts,
"Guard your world well, lest the Nuzzard nustle deep within."
I catch myself wondering if the Nuzzard can make it to My world, when and how will he attack, if it is even remotely possible. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Other Worlds?

Hi everyone. Sorry for the long wait but I've been so busy with other things, I couldn't find the time to update. For those of you who know, I've been busy working on a prequel to my Jack Taylor series. For those of you who didn't, now you do.
I have finished the writing on #3 The Neomaden War, and am hoping to have the prequel finished sometime in June, and #4 finished sometime in July. Just thought I'd let you know. Now, moving on to the subject of My World, all is calm and well. A wise man once said for me to guard my world well. I have been doing just that, putting up barriers and fences all around the walls that hold the vast knowledge of My World. I have however, left one spot open and foolishly unprotected. The waters edge at the end of the new path. I will take short breaks from the outside world to sit on the bank and watch the water and it's inhabiting ships. On one such day, a rather large ship with billowing sails stopped near me. The captain rose from his cabin and invited me aboard. Once on the ship, he told me all about how he had sailed far and wide to meet me. He did not tell me how he had heard of me but I did not ask. Sometime later, he docked the ship and allowed me to step up onto dry land again. This was about two months ago and since then, I have not seen the captain or his ship. He had said that he had come from far and wide to find me. Does this mean that there are other worlds beyond the scopes of My World and the land that holds the legendary Budge Nuzzard I have heard of? If there is such an evil thing as a Nuzzard, is it possible for our paths to cross? Only time can tell. I will write more when I can so as to keep you up to date as things occur.
until next time, stay well and happy Easter.

The Path, Lake, and A Dozen Ships

Sorry, but I changed my mind about filling up The Novel Nook with my six books. Instead, I will fill it up with new stories that I will type as I write.
For any of you that are wondering, My World is at peace again. I don't know what happened but it seemed to have cleared up! As for the door of darkest secrets, it remains closed. I still spend time in all the rooms of
My World. A vast new path has been cut from the woods and I now spend time exploring this new additional space. A lake has been created, and now ships and other vessels roam free, doing as they wish. There is a dock at the water's edge and I walk across it, hoping to get the chance the climb aboard a passing ship and learn as to why they are all suddenly here.

New Year

Hey everyone. Happy New Year! It's hard to believe the year 2006 is over. It went by so fast! Time flies when your having fun.
You may recall me telling you that when I first started this blog, that there was another part of my world, another more privet part that I could not share with you. Well, this other part is locked away, contained behind a heavy bolted door. This door leads down to a cold, dark room which in turn, leads to another door. This second door hold back many of my deepest, darkest secrets. Secrets I don't want anyone to ever find out.
OK, that's enough of that for now. Time to pay a visit to my life in reality.
I'ts a dark and somewhat stormy night.
I'm up trying to finish revisions on my second book and writing the last few chapters of # 3. I'm hoping to start a second blog titled "The Novel Nook," where you can read weekly . I will type one chapter each week. As the story progresses, I will begin to slip in small clues as to what will happen in the next installment. As for now, it's late and I'm getting a bit tired so, untill next time, goodnight and a happy new year!

Not so great Days

I'm back. See, I said I wouldn't totally leave you. Everything is working in my World. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Hope you didn't eat too much. I know I did!! I said that everything was working in my World, I lied. I don't know exactly what's going on but the garden has closed and I have been spending more and more time in the book room. The lights shut themselves off a lot earlier than they were. I have not been feeling myself lately either. I don't Know why but I think my World is converting itself slowly into the way it was before I started to tell people about it. I hope it does not last for long. I have to go for now but I will talk to you later. I don't know when but I will be back. Have a very Happy and Safe holiday season!

I'm back!

I got the chance to use a computer at the library where I live to type in this quick update to let everyone know that I had not left them. My computer at home is not working so I can not use it. How is everyone"s summer going? Mine is going just fine. Both my worlds are at peace and my life could not have been better. I don"t know the next time I will be able to type to you so I wish you all well and I want you all to know that no matter how long I takes before I can type again I will be back. I will not leave you for good. You can count on that. Untill next time, farewell and happy living!

Out of town

Hey there, I have not written in a few days so I am sorry to those that that read my work. I might not be able to write for about a month. I am going out of town and I might not be able to get on the computer to write. But if I can't, when I get back, I will get caught up again and tell you some more about my world. As for now, I need to get some sleep. I will write the next time I get the chance. I hope that is not to long. Untill then, live safe and have a good time with everything that you do. See ya!

Good Morning World

Good morning. How are you? I am going to share the moments of my life when I visit my world with you. I visited my library in my sleep last night. It was nice and calm going through all the rows of books that lined the room in my mind. I found a new book, just added to the dozens of others and began to read quietly to myself. It was the first book that I had ever written. The title was "The Adventure Of A Lifetime" and consisted of about 60 pages of text. I sat in a corner of the room and read to mysely for what seemed like hours untill the book was placed back on the shelf and the dors of the reading room were closed as the morning sun found it's way out from behind the clouds. My eyes in real life flickered open and I took in the morning, feeling at peace with the world around me and the world in my head. The sun in the park room blazed hot above the grass and trees as I got out of bed and started my day

Get to know my world

Well, I'm back. I would like to give you a tour of my world, please join me. My world is a small tucked away place in the far reaches of my mind. It is divided into four parts. The first part is a quiet room full of books. I like to read. Some of the books I have written myself, some I have not. This is the part of my world that I visit at night when the real world around me is dark and lonely. I can spend hours searching through the vast volumes for just the right tomb of knowlage. Sometimes I can find what I am looking for, other times I will roam for hours, but I will not find the perfect book for the occasion. Ok, that's enough of that, let's move on. The second room is the one that I visit during the day when I happen to doze off or daydream perhaps. It is a room full of thought, streams of info. that flys through the air all around me. I can just reach into the air and grab the thought I wish to focus on and I will be lost in thought untill someone wakes me back up. The third part of my world resembles that of a real life park. The weather of the park depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I'm in a good mood, there will be good weather in the park. If I'm in a bad mood, there will be bad weather in the park. I can't tell you about the fourth part of my world. It is too personal to share with you, I'm sorry. You might hear bits and peices about it in posts to come but you will not hear much more. I'll see you later. Untill then, Cheers. See ya.

CHANGE

Hello, glad to see you. This blog will tell you about my world. My personal world. My world had been dark for awhile. Everything has been shut down but now, for some reason that I can't explain, my world has suddenly lightened up. Everything is working just as it should. I have gotten happier every time I visit my world. I feel lighter than I did before. I can sit in the light and think or talk to myself about what has happened in the day. I love it. I still have my moments of darkness but they are not long and my world will open up once again. I don't know what triggered the sudden change that activated my world but I know that it is a change for the better. This is my first time dealing with a blog so please, bear with me. I have done research on blogs and I am sorry if I make myself sound like a total fool but I will try to keep with it, updating every time that I get the chance. Thank you and keep reading more will be on the way.
