Thanks for rolling back to the main road with some good examples, Bonita.
Yo Fred, following Bonita here are some more examples ...
Hear that? ~ "But before I knew it, girl I was right back into it" --- man those few words tell so many brothers' stories and say SOOOO much. C'mon & clue in Freddy and hop on this lifetime love train, buddy.
No, no, Fred! It's a novel. It's fiction (the action of feigning or of creating with the imagination). Anyway (since this started out with music) and I can't define love maybe some music will help you recognize it. Such as:
So funny this would come up today as Gloria and I were chatting last nite about the same thing....creating an online romance novel where everyone could participate. I think it would be great and lots of fun.
YES ....'"WHAT IS LOVE"'!!! What does it mean to you? FRED, YOU'VE JUST BEEN TAGGED.
Bonita clued me in to her reply -- and it's something that might become popular with the gifted creative writers among us -- something called "THE NEVER ENDING STORY". She shared that she participated in a trend on another website that's a trend on some websites, blogs and discussions on the internet, where members follow each other adding their parts to a continuing story everyone is part-author of. Everyone's addition ends with "..." signalling a spot for the next contributor to add something. A kind of 'WRITERS' RELAY' .... and being a track man that sounds like much fun.
Wow you guys are heavy what brought out all the emotions and the air of love with such heart felt words of expression.Is somebody in love? Better yet what is love?
Thanks Galen and Bonita. Do we have publishers here on campus? I think maybe a book deal may be in the offing. (smile)
You know you're introduced to these songs (or this genre of music) wayyyyyyyyy before you realize it.
I was told that I would climb a big Oak tree when I was young and sing the blues like I had experienced it all. Being around it must help embed you with the CODE.
"...WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU LAST HEARD THIS SONG? WAS THERE A SPECIAL SOMEONE OR WAS IT JUST THE TIME.. THAT TIME BACK IN THE LATE 50'S EARLY 60'S WHEN LOVE WAS IN THE AIR AND EVERY SONG GRIPPED AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS AND TUGGED AND TUGGED. YOU THOUGHT THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD DIE IF THAT PERSON YOU CARED FOR DIDN'T RETURN THE FEELING.....…
Wow, Carolyn! Great first paragraph for a romance novel! And then Galen has the second paragraph with:
"I WAS 11, MY PREOCCUPATIONS DIVIDED BETWEEN BASEBALL, TRACK, FILM MAKING, AND THOSE "PHANTOM LOVES" THAT WERE NOT IN MY LIFE BUT JUST A DAYDREAM AWAY AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT. THERE WAS NO ONE SPECIAL ONE THEN -- THEY ALL SEEMED SPECIAL, AND I COULD JUMP INTO DREAMY-EYED FANTASIZING ABOUT THEM AT THE FIRST FEW NOTES OF SONGS LIKE THIS. HOW POETIC YOUR DESCRIPTION, FOR IT WAS INDEED ..."
Here's me with the third paragraph:
"What young Carolyn didn't know was how admired she was by kids younger than she. We all knew that she would grow up to be a Smart Dog with lots of words. And Black Clark Kent didn't know that while he was preoccupied with baseball, track and film making that there was indeed a girlie-girl that was daydreaming about him at all times of day and night. A special one who wanted to grow up and be special to him. Songs like these would later in life be the magnet that drew them together......"
VERY ACCURATE FEELINGS, CAROLYN..... I WAS 11, MY PREOCCUPATIONS DIVIDED BETWEEN BASEBALL, TRACK, FILM MAKING, AND THOSE "PHANTOM LOVES" THAT WERE NOT IN MY LIFE BUT JUST A DAYDREAM AWAY AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT. THERE WAS NO ONE SPECIAL ONE THEN -- THEY ALL SEEMED SPECIAL, AND I COULD JUMP INTO DREAMY-EYED FANTASIZING ABOUT THEM AT THE FIRST FEW NOTES OF SONGS LIKE THIS. HOW POETIC YOUR DESCRIPTION, FOR IT WAS INDEED ...
"THE TIME.. THAT TIME BACK IN THE LATE 50'S EARLY 60'S WHEN LOVE WAS IN THE AIR AND EVERY SONG GRIPPED AT YOUR HEARTSTRINGS............................ "
