You never know who will knock on your door. "Billy, turn down the TV and go in the back room," she said.
I heard a knock on the front door her as I stood in the back room listening.
3. I listened straining to make out the words. "...accident... guarding ...Chicago... Robert McClain fatal traffic accident...
4. "Oh my God, Jesus what will we do...?" said Mrs. Nedor.
"I heard a woman speak. "Do you think you will be able to handle telling him or do you want us to talk to him."
Tell me what? I sat down on the floor and my thoughts pooled. I feel nothing it was fear of the posible. Because anything is possible.
5.
I heard departing voices and the front door close. I didn't move I knew something bad happened.
I heard Mrs. Fedor walk accross the floor of the small home. The
creak was familiar to me, but what happened, what was she doing.
The phone was dialed,
"Hello, Pastor, there's been an accident and the police came to see if we needed any thing. So I called you.
6. The Pastor comes . The God parents are called and uncle Bob is called in Chicago.

First sketch a story. Tell it like you are talking to a friend.
It's like a movie in your head. Close your eyes. What do you see?

There is a ten year old boy sitting crossed legged on a living room floor. He has
a bowl of popcorn in his lap and he is watching a black
and white TV with a rabbit ears antenna. There is a white haired woman,
a window open and white Charon curtians. It street is dark but the headlights
of a car light up a corner house as as it rounded the corner.
"Looks like comp'ny," said Mrs. Nedor.

Post a paragraph get a critique.
6/14 Passion: fix the World.
Theme : the beast from the wild will be led by a child.
Premise: What if the Cosmos began sending children so exceptional, the course of mam kind was re: arranged for the better.
Protagonist: ? Mam needs a flaw.
6/14- Comos: Its the cosmos + You. You are not alone.
6/15 James Patterson thinks children taught to read well, will have more choices and be a gift to the world. He's got my support... I know he is right.
6/13/The thing most new writers fail to do?
J.P. says... Outline... They don't .
He sold over 300 million books and he did a Masters Class, but its not a silver bullet that ends your struggle.If you are serious about writing its just begun.
And it never ends.
Its you favorite pastime.
Maybe you're on Amazon with a book or books, but are they good
enough to make a living.
For me there's no looking back. As long as its free I'm in.
... but it is like he was born writing best sellers. Developing a outline is easy. Takes a month, and he turns is over to the co-writer. God Bless him for what he gave us.
Tell me your passion.
Your deepest desire, or one of them.
The Theme is....the message of your Book, if it hooks into something you care a lot about , it helps to think about that.
If it is: "Good people should be in government",
or "save the whales." It does not matter.
You need passion to help you stick with it ,
and finish.
Lets pick: Rescue Dogs. Thats your passion.
Your message THEME is....Save a Dog for example.
The Premise is formed like this:
What if a (flawed protagonist) (encountered some problem) and had to (overcome the flaw) to (solve the problem)?
Alcorn, Steve (2012-03-04). How To Fix Your Novel (p. 20). Theme Perks. Kindle Edition.
This is a method taught by Steve Aclorn. It doesn't conflict with Jimmy P. methods as far as I can tell. It compliments it.
If a man who has a FLAW owns fighting dogs and is caught by animal control and loses his lively hood and joins the Army and becomes a dog handler in the ARMY but must..... What ? His flaw has to go , the ARMYS way is respect for the dog/Love.... his disrespect for our four legged friends Must go.... Any dog trainer out there?.....Help I'm stuck.
