Hitchcock and Life

I love Hitchcock. His movies were made decades ago but they are timeless. I watched the birds last night and it kind of rattled me. It actually left me dazed. Why did those birds start attacking people? Movies like that don't necessarily have a happy ending and they actually do a better job at mirroring life. Sometimes we get through different tests and different seasons and survive but there is still a sense of mystery. There's still that gnawing question of "Why did that happen?" Sometimes the answer never comes.

Keeping the creative juices flowing

I am writing alot these days and working on four projects in four different genres.

1. Life with God. These are just my observations on life from a spiritual point of view

2. Wake up Call. This is a suspenseful mystery and also a commentary on busy American life

3. Little Brother Cricket. This is a kid's book that will be tailored to an African American audience. I just need an illustrator

4. The Name. This is the most extensive one yet. It is basically a mythological sort of work inspired by Lord of the Rings. It will be in 3 parts and I am now only creating the fantasy world. I probably won't actually begin writing until the end of the year.

So there you have it and if that's not enough I am also writing songs and poems again. Have to keep the creative juices flowin'
