This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
There comes a time in every persons life when they hear the call. It can be difficult to pick out in the still of the night but it is there, gentle yet persistant. When I heard the call, it was clear to me. In the time it takes the heart to make a single beat, [...]
Rain draws near. As the thick black clouds roll across the sky, one persistent phantom of my past comes to pay a visit. Like any courteous guest, I am presented with gifts upon arrival. First a dull ache, then a vivid rush of memories. My uninvited guest goes to great lengths to remind me of [...]
Today marks the five-year anniversary of my death. While my body and mind may live on, my compassion and love have rotted to dust. One horrific moment in my existence changed my life forever. That moment created the soulless monster that I am today. Five years. One thousand eight hundred twenty five days. Forty three [...]
It has been entirely too long since I have participated in the Writers Adventure Group. With some sort of predictable routine emerging, post baby-birth, I found a little spare time to sneak in some writing for this weeks theme. Like in some previous weeks, I have used this writing exercise as an opportunity for a [...]
Throughout the course of my professional career, I have adopted a mantra of sorts. Before undergoing any job, I would tell myself “Ignorance is Bliss”. In the broad scope of things this is a terrible way to view life, but it my case it was the only way to remain focused. By remaining ignorant to [...]
Just like last week, time was tight and I felt the shadow of this weeks deadline falling upon me. When I read the Writers Adventure Group prompt, I had an idea come to mind that I intended to run with. The base is there but I wasn’t able to explore it as deeply as I [...]
Last week I posted my submission for Fiction Friday, created by Write Anything, to follow a prompt of a knock at the door. The piece turned into the tale of an assassin on his first assignment from a new employer. I enjoyed writing it and thought forward as to how it could be expanded in [...]
Have you ever started writing with a plan in place, then had your story begin telling itself, getting farther and farther from your plan? In this weeks Fiction Friday prompt from Write Anything, I had just that. My plan was to have a much shorter piece that was more to the point. As I placed [...]
One of these weeks I really should try to get the Writing Adventure Group exercise finished up with time to spare. The rough draft was written a couple of nights ago but I hadn’t had the time to read and revise until my lunch break today. Like usual, it turned into more of a re-write [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been feeling like I’ve been stuck in a Fiction Friday funk. Staring at the Write Anything prompt this week for “A Coming of Age Tale”, I was drawing an absolute blank. It was suggested a couple of weeks ago that I re-work Fiction Friday #156 – Failed Sunrise [...]
With a very busy week behind me, and another right on my heels, I was able to find a short bit of time to sit down and do some writing. When I read the Writing Adventure Group theme for this week, I had a couple of ideas I wanted to explore. Both of which were [...]
As they say, better late than never. I’m kind of anal when it comes to post times. I like to have these scheduled to go live at midnight, but that was not an option today. I’ve been dragging me feet on this Fiction Friday prompt from Write Anything. For one reason or another, it just [...]
In this weeks edition of Fiction Friday, from Write Anything, we were given the prompt “A boy and his father awaken early to watch the sunrise from their mountain campsite, but they begin to panic when the sky remains dark long into the afternoon”. At first I was eager to get started, because of all [...]
If it wasn’t evident from my posts over the past two months, I’ve been having a great time as of late writing fiction. It started out with my trying something new and telling the story of how Syrus and I were attacked by zombies. From there it grew to my participating in Fiction Friday by [...]
I was a little pressed for time this week and wanted to try and keep my Writing Adventure Group entry short and simple. With my writing normally tipping the scales as over one-thousand words, I wanted something easier to digest. It also didn’t hurt that writing it up took far less time. Because I was [...]
