Idea Oriented...Jimmy LikeA Story by james nuzzelloThis came to me as a good idea, and just felt good writing. My daily life writing.To appreciate this; follow along, but you need to scroll down-to the beginning. Thank you. "All of Us Have to Start ?.' You know, I was going to start this out with...have you ever wanted to know what people are thinking. But in stead of that, forget it, because sometimes knowing what I am thinking, maybe I am better off not knowing what other people think. The reverse is true too, sometimes we never share what the hell we are thinking...not sometimes , but most of the time. If we did, it would be like the wild west outside. So face it, you know what I mean. Yes it's kind of crazy what we are capable of, isn't it. lucky for us there are holiday's like the one around the corner. At least there is still hope half of the people we meet are thinking okay, its kind of scary how we rub off on each other. No wonder people don't want extra negativity around, they call it drama, but I know what the hell their talking about. Not to mention the clutter rolling around in our head. It's enough to make a person want to take off, and live in seclusion. I know all too well what those feelings are like, it's all in the mind. All of us have to start somewhere. Most people believe the new year resolution commitment doesn't work, only because their doomed going in based on what other people said. It's like, what are we negative magnets, if it sounds bad come near me with it so I can feel better later syndrome. I don't think humans are the only species that thrive on rumor. All sorts of animals in the wild do it in a sense. They communicate that way for survival. Have you ever fed a pair of blue jays, or thrown peanuts to a flock of crows. Did you ever notice how one will swoop down, check it out first, and then sound off letting the rest know the coast is all clear, and there is a food source. You won't see them all come down at once until later, and only after they get the okay signal from the point bird. People are like that in a way. Some people don't do anything unless they check it out with their friends, or family. Depending on what they're like, is the kind of answer you'll get, and good luck with that. I have always been the point crow in life. I'll go check it out first, and then I'll let you know. I see most people who have never been anywhere are the first ones to talk people out of doing, or moving anywhere. How can anyone give advice, if they never been there. See that's my problem with rumor, at least the human kind. People make stuff up in their heads, a fairy tale in a sense. They spew this s**t all over the place to either have some sort of sick control, or look for trouble. Either way, rumor is all negative if you look at it sensibly. If it doesn't make sense, than it usually isn't true. But the drama, and the way people talk as if they believe it is so convincing. It's no wonder people are easily manipulated and sucked in. If anyone took a vacation on a deserted island for a year, you would know what I am referring about. Well I have to get on another thought, and maybe I'll write you something juicy later today. "Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz *12/24/14 "Ticking Time Bombs Inside All of Us" I couldn't allow myself not to write something down to share with you. After all a life filled with bad decisions is hardly what anyone wants to continue on with. Most people of good sense get tired. At the end of each day, when you're all alone with your personal universal one, and your thoughts. I look back on my day, and check myself that if my pattern hasn't done me any harm. Turning my life around, and full of positive energy to share. looking back on the day, and see if I have used my free will in the correct ways. Remembering a few tricks, and there is a trick to everything in life. Unless we consciously choose to be present to our emotions and take the time to release limited beliefs.There will be comfort at the end of the day, which reveal whether I made the right decisions. I also think its important to take the time to see other's point of view as we can all learn mew potions from each other. I am skeptical, and a cynical person by nature; I don't know why all the time, but it must be a personal survival instinct. Not to judge people necessarily, but to be careful in my thinking. That is part of why we are here, isn't it. I have an example by something I heard a person say. "My mess is my message" That to me means, use experience to be your best judgment for yourself, and if you can help others along the way; so be it.
"Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz *12-24-2014* and Merry Christmas "Wouldn't You Know It" Not to mention I am having the time of my life today. standing in clod weather coming up with great parts of my sequel to "KOMEO" "KOMEO is coming..."When out of no where, like I didn't expect it, or if you knew me at all. I would run into some of my unassuming old acquaintances. Here I am, no planning on my behalf, of anything like that, but one never knows who their going to run into when one least expects too. Allow me to put it into a writers perspective. Like the woman I met at the library for one, who was mentioning to become a writer, or that she was one. Little do people know that there is some animosity, an unassuming disrespect for Editors, and or the publishing world that almost, if not all unsuccessful artist of their craft doesn't feel at one or more times a day just thinking about it. The point I am making is that, maybe there is an outside chance that this is more common than meets the eye, which would probably leave most of us in wonderment, if we didn't already know the ropes. Discontentment is like a disease, but those; what I describe as 'Power' came under scrutiny by a woman I met. She didn't agree with me, but I have the sense there is a serious connection as to the same thing, but expressed in different feelings. End of Story "Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz "Take a peek inside" I searched for answers to my own philosophy as always, my philosophies are with me even when the dynamics of my personality changes, and because. Than taking a peek for a self check is in order of the day,once in a while. I caught myself on this occasion trying to be convinced; again. Perhaps life just merely happens. The thought that there are so many people which never think twice there is God. I tried to put myself in their mind set for a moment for a peek inside what the other half might be like. It took all of two seconds for me to catch on to my true self, and realized, I am not built that way myself. Now knowing it was not my philosophy. A moment between two seconds. I thought that people who are overly religious, perhaps there is all they have to show, and that I will end up the same way. Philosophy has to be challenged; even my own. The speed of spirituality happens in an instant as I transcend in a blink of an eye. I was self caste out into deep water. Only to be reeled back in to shore by a universal grip on my soul. The moral to this story, the truth is if there is not something guiding me. Than when I am searching for answers there would be none. No question in my mind goes unanswered. When it happens that fast as always, we have to be listening for the truth. When in doubt is looming, is when the light comes in when we least expect it. All we has to do is ask, and not be afraid to take a risk doing it. End of Story "Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz "KOMEO" By Jimmy Nuzz My letter to the Editors will follow: Do you believe an aspiring author like myself has vivid hallucinations while coming up with strings of sentences for their entertainment, or all of my own creative expression. I hold myself to the up-most highest standard while developing, and writing words in my novel for the readers excitement. Not only do I consider Editors to be jaded, I also believe they are riding o the backs of successful authors for their own backward ideal. If it weren't for authors; where the hell would they be in the first place? I do not take stepping in dodo very lightly, but it seems to becoming more and more difficult for an aspiring authors foot to turn into gold afterwards. Do not take my word for it, but a self educated person has the credibility of his or hers own merit to blow an Editors mind with their writing. I wonder sometimes if they actually read the manuscripts submitted, or are they faking, and stalling in hopes that their business interest, and pockets are lined with profits over and beyond the authors concerns. I am being cynical, I do not care. The only thing I have to say is...no one is fooling this guy. I'll be seeking, and will have fame before I am dead. Look at this in my way of thinking. He who has the ware-with-all to promote oneself always wins. End of story. "Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz Something is up, because I've tried saving a few lines of wisdom, but unfortunately I hit save and it didn't work. I don't know what the hell is going on sometimes.
'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -----10-18-2014 a Saturday 11:13 PM----
Aloha, and soon I'll be headed toward the wild blue yonder to start chapter eleven of KOMEO. Every one who knows me understands how much I really liked writing chapter 11. Well it's off to the races, and I'll be back to see you soon.
'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz ------------------10/17/2014 a Friday 10:35 AM--------------- ----- ---- Chapter 10 came out better than my expectations. I am no Edgar Allan Poe, but KOMEO is coming soon. The statement I just made, if any writer compares themselves to anyone is a mistake. I am me, myself, and I. That's all there is to that stuff. Chapter 11 is going to be the best one so far. It happens to be one of my favorites by my recollection. When I wrote it I kept my leading protagonist in mind. I killed off his agitator Detective Marco for a lot of reasons. You're going to have to read KOMEO...I cannot explain all of it. When I first wrote KOMEO I had the bare minimum of word count to have a novella accepted at 35k words. Currently I just completed chapter 10, with 11, and 12 to finish this novel, and already have improved on it to the tune of 63k. By the time I am don this thing will hit 70k word count twice the original idea. I believe that's amazing. Yes I am amazing... .Because its increased dramatically. I wrote a sequel, it eventually became; Book Two, and is included with my original.
'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -----------10/16/2114 a Thursday 3:45 PM------------------------------------------------ Once again it is going to be another a new day of writing, but first allow me to start on a positive note Other people impose their beliefs, or a myth about authors which isn't necessarily true. But if that makes them feel better in their imaginary world we created, so be it. When I read these words, they have me thinking about myself, and how I write. If I create a character whose actions are so believable, then I have completed my intentions as an author. Other people really live the stuff of imagination. This is what an author hopes for. I set out every day while writing to capture a feel from the reader, make them feel the words and live them. My writing day isn't complete unless this is done. Watch how I do this. Stay on subject, make and keep it simple. Think of ideas, be clear. Pick words up to sound as fact, and what sounds right usually works.., but do double check. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -----------------------10/16/2014 a Thursday morning 8:29 AM---------------------------------
I'm back, and do you want to know how I am feeling, or know how the novel KOMEO worked out today. I am feeling golden, and so is KOMEO. My dear readers I pledge to give it my all, my very best I have to offer for nothing else than the finest piece of reading for your enjoyment only. On my way toward the writing experience I had the thought of how many times I had the hair stand up in my own neck while writing my grisly scenes. Actually it is true, I amazed myself one time. I was finished writing one day, and while walking downtown reminded myself of a horrifying bloodbath I had written earlier. The thought actually followed me, and I had another chill hours later. This is when the thought occurred to me I might have something here.
'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -----------------------10/15/2114 4:24 PM a Wednesday---------------------------------- Good morning; my dear readers, I am willing to allow you an interesting peek at how my day is. First off could you imagine starting your day as a creative writer, and having to keep in mind to try and settle yourself down before sitting down to write. That's right, if one doesn't get rid of the uptight feeling you're going to get nowhere fast. Not only that, A creative writer has to work within the rules just like any other job. I have to prepare myself mentally each morning. Have my coffee, a cigarette, or anything. But seriously,I always have mental notes to remember and write down as material if I need it. All of the tension doesn't totally dissipate like magic though. Sometimes a little mild agitation is an occupational hazard we all have to get used to. The thing about creative writing is you try to keep writing simple, and at the same time get a flow of sparkle in the form, or word alignment, and still follow the strict grammatical order to still keep the what you're trying to say understandable. Now if you think that's easy we all would have a novel written wouldn't we now. Well, leave it up to me, I'll write for you my dear reader. I want you to relax to enjoy the feel as a good scary book, and I intend on frightening you to death if you read, and allow me to. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz '' 10/15/2014 8:40 AM------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10 started by rolling along well. I don't use many dialogue sessions. I don't particularly dig it when I am reading, so therefore I just don't do it often. I don't like to read and see what looks like chicken footprints all over the page. I believe the reader knows when a conversation between two people is happening without adding in two hundred chicken footprints. I do say so myself, I could do without them. Chapter 10 has a lot of thinking, and reflecting on Newsman going crazy thinking Komeo is sparing his life so Newsman tell his story. Wild Bill his informant scares the living s**t out of the Newsman. So Newsman thinks his own informant is setting him up against Marco the cop, and Komeo for all he knows Wild Bill is making Marco think Newsman could be the copy-cat killer all along. But this is just in Newsman's head, and now he thinks the cops want to railroad him, and possibly have his DNA from the time he searched into Komeo's shed and garage while snooping around. It's crazy, but I hope the reader understands Newsman, because sometimes I sure as hell don't, and I am the guy who wrote it. 10/14/2114 a Tuesday 5:32 PM
'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz Chapter 10 wasn't what I thought it was. I like to wait before opening my novel packet in order to wait until finished with one chapter before continuing, and also anticipate the surprise of the upcoming chapter for its fine tuning. Like opening a birthday present, or unwrapping the new next Christmas presents slowly one by one. The deal was I thought it was chapter 10, I was thinking about, but turned out 11 is one of my favorites that I thought I was beginning. Don't get me wrong all my chapters are great, but I do my favorites. The bottom line is I'll have to make, or turn chapter ten into some of the best piece reading stories possible. Every chapter has its own story, chapter 10 will become even better than I originally planned for it, because every ounce of psyching myself up is all going into this chapter. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz Folks, future readers of KOMEO. I turned chapter nine into a good piece of reading. I knew I would, it just took some doing. It needed special care. Chapter ten is going to be especially as good, or better. Already I know it is one of my favorite chapters. When I am done with putting in a few detailed workmanship, you're all going to love chapter ten. Really that's about I can say other than I have some confidence in myself, and the entire "KOMEO" novel is going to be a success for you to read, and enjoy. --10/11/2114 a Saturday 6:18 PM 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -- Chapter nine is moving in the right direction finally. I got over my mental meltdown, and managed to add enough sense out of what my first draft had to offer, plus a few more ides I made up. My problem, or part of it was the first draft of chapter nine needed to be cut into sections. When I was jumping around trying to build a better plot, I was searching through eight pages at once searching for missing pieces to thread together. Having a complete novel to use as a first draft wasn't the original plan, but it turned out to be a good thing to have. In it's original form the entire story still made sense to me, and now well into the third part and working on chapter nine. Rewriting it for KOMEO started out really complicated, and seems it still will be for a few more days. I'm getting better at this. Don't get me wrong, I love the story, plus building upon it can be tough, but there is still the challenge turning it into something and a piece of good writing. Chapter eight started out pretty bad and turned out just fine and so will chapter nine by the time I am through. Right now I am struggling with making Newsman's cab driver a one legged foreigner, who Newsman cannot understand. I might leave the one leg part out. This cab driver character lays into Newsman later in the chapter calling Newsman a cop want to be, but for right now I am making it seems as though Newsman is suspicious about him, because he knows cab drivers and cops work hand in hand. Newsman being the paranoid journalist that he is, thinks everyone is out to get him. Sometimes I think he's right. This is the work of third person, and the tough part is coming up with; when to write in the conflict so it sounds right just at the right time. See what I'm talking about being tough to write, it's tricky. It all works out in the end though. KOMEO has to be a success no matter how I plan each paragraph around the characters. A little jumping around doesn't hurt if it all blends together to make sense. Chapter nine so far has turned out more interesting than chapter eight was, and as difficult as it was, it turned out really good. I always still get to make changes before I submit it. I'll do the editing, making it zing a little more here and there. Proofread as much as I can before the ending. Oh I believe KOMEO is going to be one hell of a story when it's all said and done. 10/10/2014 a Friday 11:19 PM 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz lOOK AT THIS...I have a few day's off...is actually correct grammar. But, I have a few day off to...sounds better. I has a few... is really the correct stucture...go figure? I have a few days off to restore myself after my meltdown on chapter nine. What actually started my downward spiral were a couple of things, and not just the phrase I destroyed. The constant trudging along with my nose to the grindstone, banging away for two months in a row finally took it's toll. Am I whining, because. This was like an internal battle going on with myself, and I couldn't convince myself I won yet. You would whine too. I am getting back with KOMEO, the Newsman, and Detective Marco. I miss them. End of Story 'Be Immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -- 10/9/2114 a Thursday, 8:11 PM-- Chapter nine. Chapter nine kicked my own a*s, and I only made it through three pages before I lost my patience. That's it, there were too many notes, too many ideas, and too many side back stories piled on top, which made me lose my mind. Totally collapsed in my own array of words like a pile of creation that turned on me like a monster I have created that spun out of control. I'll tell you what the hell I am going to do about it. I am going to reread the chapter from the beginning. Thread the story together the way it is supposed to be read. The beginning is wonderful, no problem. I tried to jam too much into a few paragraphs, and they didn't make sense, or lost its pizzazz. I will salvage the chapter by rethinking my chapter as it should be. Every chapter is a short story that support itself. Of course the main characters remain following along for the ride, but at least I stopped out of complete frustration, rather than keep banging out junk writing. I have had bigger issues to correct, and everything turned out alright in the end.
--10/8/2014-- 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz Part Three: Silence The Messengers Chapter Nine: Luring Around Tent City
KOMEO A smart Newsman is always on his guard. A clever Newsman is on my guard even when I am safe. I almost blacked out from the fear. You have no idea how tough writing can be sometimes. For me it's the beginning of a chapter, and the endings which drive me the craziest. I even have a completed first draft to work with; thank my lucky stars. I have to admit I am still into it though. I get a kick out of the preparation while I am standing around outside the library thinking, and watching cars go by. What I see is a life of writing isn't all that bad at all. I see people driving like a madman to work with their cell phones hanging from their ear, while still on the phone with their wives they just left the house talking with. What I think is, Jim I can write for a living and be totally content, no ecstatic about becoming a full time writer. In fact it inspires me to do an even better job on the story I am writing. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz
-----------------I returned, because I left a few things out...the text; 10/7/ 14, and time; 7:27 PM also one other important statement. Not would I be ecstatic, I tell myself, Jimm keep writing. End of story 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz
Chapter eight is 99% successful, and there are always still room for improvements every time I review my writing to add a little tid-bit here and there as long as it augments the chapters. I have to admit though when I set out to recue and restore a chapter which was bleeding. I go beyond just the band-aid approach, or what would be the point. My point is to shape and mold my first attempt to astonish an audience of readers with the very best I could give them. Readers are special people, or what would be the point. The quest is to write second KOMEO, or what would be the point of not giving it my all. The cats out-of the bag now, but only if your awake while mentioning it though, because it sounds like KOMEO lives on...otherwise the copy cat killer is real. Got yeah didn't I. Your just going to have to buy your own copy to find out what lurks in the mind of an aspiring authors mind while at large. Rest assured my fellow writers I will never let my audience down. I live to excite, plus if they feel half of the excitement and some of the chill I got while writing this it (KOMEO) will be a super success, and everyone ends happily ever after.

And Guess What
I have big plans for chapter eight. Plotting on another mysterious character for my protagonist friend Newsman to get paranoid over. I am going to re-mention the possibility of a copy cat killer, just to keep it in the back of Newsman's mind for further use in chapter ten. I plan on using the main detective against Newsman for information by pushing Newsman's buttons. He is going to tell the Newsman that the recent crime he was documenting, and spying on wasn't the killer he has been tracking. The crime committed didn't fit the profile, and is another killer. Marco, the detective is trying to find out the name of the person Newsman sent in to witness KOMEO killing, and got so scared he took off to go back home out of state. The detective want's the name to convict Newsman for sending in a civilian in harms way. The crime journalist Newsman always goes on a tangent, but it always helps himself find an answer to the conflict; in his own mind, almost every time. There are going to be a few other back story plotted in chapter eight. Part three is coming soon, and I want the reader to have enough ammunition to help try and figure out what KOMEO does, and the Newsman, well he just goes nuts all the time anyway. I will had over a little more flavor for you to taste as I get closer to the ending of the KOMEO novel. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz The chapter eight I was so worried about has so far turned out to be lovely. My character; Newsman took over the episode with a fit of his own. Always calm as dishwater, his build up tension from being pressured by police for failure to report, and sticking to his guns as a dedicated crime journalist has taken it's toll. Needless to say, my confident style of writing will spark at first, but wind up being a blaze of words on paper for me. Oh yes indeed chapter eight is well on it's way to become one of my favorites I intended it to be. -'Be Immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz 10/4/2014 a Saturday, 2:50 PM---- Update, and I am offering a newsflash. Starting chapter eight started out alright. I wore a clean button down shirt with a tie like I normally do when starting a new chapter for good luck. The thing wasn't a total mess, because I have the 2200 words to build on, and it needed to get some add-ons and a good modification. I was getting into using every thought I could pull out of my bag of word smithing tricks I could think of. And believe it when I say, it wasn't easy. I was writing away for six hours, and it took a while to feel restored enough for me to collect my thinking, and writing senses. After further thought. I looked at the chapter results, and it wasn't awful, but alright. When I got home I couldn't resist writing some add on phrases for tomorrow, and then it hit me they'll fit in nicely to where I left off writing chapter eight on KOMEO. The scariest thing isn't my writing though. It is pulling out the flash drive after calling it a day. I always save as, and put it back in to recheck if the novel was stored. I would absolutely not know what I would do if I messed up, and didn't remember to store save as. Well folks other than this as far as I know there isn't anything else to tell. All's well, and KOMEO and Newsman continue. One more thing; taking a closer look pays off. I have done a good job with story on chapter eight. I wanted chapter six to turn out dynamite, and now chapter eight is well on its way to perfection. -10/3/2014- A Friday, 11:06 PM- 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz
Hey here is the heads up for chapters eight. I read only the first chapter. The whole thing is only 2200 words, and I am going to have a field day on it. I am going to make these word fly into the reader so they feel every bit of it. Because. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmu Nuzz Peace and Hope for everyone. Love you. 10/2/2014 10:26 PM Writing chapter seven turned out great for me. The reader will enjoy a few twists I threaded together. The protagonist, which is one of the main characters became stumped when he kept sighting KOMEO, but one time while in view ready to strike, he was thrown of his stalking by being seen frighten him off out of sight of Newsman. I don't believe the character KOMEO was afraid, rather he is too cunning to allow anyone to catch him becoming afraid of alerting anyone of his plot to attack .KOMEO went on a fit of rampage in secret later on, but before leaving Newsman's curiosity, and gut instincts lead him to the horrible crime seen after all. I am not totally through polishing a few rough edges just yet. I will be doing a complete proof read as I always do with each chapter. Before I start chapter eight I'll start from chapter one, and recheck for cadences linking the story through with the right amount of flow...flow I like the word flow. Flow, the story should flow with, and for the reader to enjoy my story while I scare the daylights out of my audience 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz---10/2/14 A Friday 6:53 PM---------
Today was un-eventful writing. I left off with a phrase to modify, but came up with an after thought for a cure for that one. The best part came to me in an instant. KOMEO had been around, and his stench fro devouring human flesh gave him away. It's when he went to have his bag of knives sharpened, and the local shop owner noticed the blades KOMEO was carrying in his backpack weren't anything the knife sharpener has ever seen from the locals around town before. Chapter seven ends by a scene or carnage by our friend KOMEO once again. The best part of chapter seven is you're going to has to 'Find Your Own way.' Like I was saying...want to read a short story about my own childhood, read the 'Find Your Own Way' to see who 'KOMEO' played a role, a real person that later inspired an aspiring writer to write my novel on. This treasure hunt is yours if you choose. The mystery will be solved without me, but we cannot stop there.
----- End of Story 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz-----
Still a Tuesday, 10:17 PM and same subject: KOMEO I something out. When I become a success with having my manuscript published. KOMEO, and I will be "Golden" My writing this thing KOMEO is absolutely dynamite. My writing is going along, and occasionally have to do the work proofreading it to assure myself the story connects. The chapters thread together nicely, and the paragraphs exhibit elements of story telling, with a balance of character show, and lots of exciting observation from my main protagonist. The lead character KOMEO still keeps the mystery unfolding in every beginning of the chapters, KOMEO is able to blend into his surroundings to carry out his thirst for killing. The end of each chapter by his ability to vanish before police arrive which drives NEWSMAN the crime journalist who is hunting KOMEO crazy. Today as I started chapter seven, and the story is really developing into a clear follow along type of cadence for the reading audience now. I went back to edit in some points, and proofread for anything like an apostrophe out, or comma in...and while doing the reading assurances. I said to myself "WHO wrote this' the story leaped out at me as one hell of a story, it's that good. I am positive this will be accepted by a publisher in flying colors, and believe this eventually be a big seller. All well, and better improvements in it are coming before it's all said and done. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz-----------------------------9/30/2014 6:11 PM a Tuesday-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had an after thought. Something I remembered telling myself just this morning. I have probably thought this way many times, but since it is still fresh, it just reoccurred to me again. I am writing a serial killer fictional novel. I am writing two actually. These great stories are complicated, and the villain is a dangerous, but in some way has charm. The scary thing is their people I invented by my own psyche. I am killing off people I have wanted to get out of my mind since being a young boy. Getting my feelings out through my writing dark, inhuman, and blood chilling episodes. I always felt my writing was therapeutic in many ways for me. I would bust if I let a day go by without writing a short story, or even if it was something on my mind. Over the years it became somewhat of an outlet for me. Freedom to express my feelings. I could write down anything I as feeling at any time day or night no matter what. No one to stop me became the attraction at first. Then I knew I had a particular nack for it, and eventually became therapy to me. I would never abandon my writing ability, as if it were my other lonely friend I could rely on to be with me through every word. A pencil was like my oar writing through rough water. Robert Frost wrote a poem of kids climbing tall birch trees, and reaching for the thinner limbs and pull themselves to the ground with a swoosh. There are worse things a kid can find to do. Well he is right, I use things could be worse than a lot of things all the time sometimes. Don't be scared of my thinking, things could have been worse. I could have been writing these mysteries as my autobiography instead, but don't listen to me, I write...remember and so don't let me fool you, see for yourself. Read my short story ''FIND YOUR OWN WAY' it is a story about myself as a young boy. Read it and think of me...I never mentioned it was about me. It will be out little secret you gained trough this treasure hunt of ours...'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz--------same night 9/29/2014 8:48 PM it's still early--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow along with me on the making of a novel called KOMEO right here everyday. Today was good, I wrote for almost six hours, and start chapter seven tomorrow. I have to pat myself on the back a little bit. Writing as we all know can be difficult. It can leave you feeling jaded and in a state of feeling a loss for words. While I was walking outside around before going into the library where I have been transferring KOMEO from longhand to digital on their computers. I happened to be making a few side notes as material to add to parts of the writing subject, and my mind went into active imagination overdrive. It's wonderful to have such a natural high like that, it's sort of a gift you know. It came back, and really hit me by surprise. I used to be able to call it up on demand. Like I mentioned though, a writer can become slightly jaded from time to time. It isn't the same as full blown writers block, it's not even a close second. Jaded is just a dull feeling, but you can still continue writing fluently, and understandable. Having this welcomed feeling before sitting down to write is a huge plus while having the creative juices flowing the way they aught to be working. It doesn't mean every word, sentence and paragraph will come out perfect the first time rolling along, but it doesn't hurt to have it flowing and working along side myself. Well my friends chapter seven is about to have the ribbon cutting. Tomorrow I'll let everyone know and feel it the way I felt it. Hopefully all will turn out better than the day I wrote my first draft. If the day come where I enter a chapter without changing a single sentence. You'll all have to listen to call myself the greatest writer of all time. But I wouldn't get our hopes up that high just yet. That day didn't arrive as far as I am aware of. Maybe, secretly I have said this to myself, but either way...'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz-----------------------------------9/29/2014----------------------------- Knowing my mixed bag of emotions right now, and it's a long shot which you caught me in rare form, because it doesn't last more than twenty minutes. I am so pissed right now I can't even express how it feels. My shoulders are pointed forward while my lower jaw is tucked under and pressed against my uppers. I can only imagine how wide my eyes look right about now. What triggered this minutiae of rage is I just got finished writing a few phrases and clauses as material to build upon tomorrow on 'KOMEO'. I had to take a few day's off from writing due to the fact it can be demanding coming up with gems and nuggets constantly. All of them don't have the exact zing your looking for, it doesn't happen every time like it should. It takes a lot of work, and can become frustrating when it doesn't happen, or stops rolling off the tongue. I can't be a rock star every second of the day while writing. I thank my lucky stars I already wrote KOMEO though, and have it to work from and making it better on a daily basis. Trying to get everything in a novel is tough man. I reached chapter six which is half way at least. The anger set in mainly because I haven't worked on KOMEO for two days. It's my baby, but as always. As soon as I sit down to write, everything turns out all right. I did manage to start another short story. Lately those haven't been at the top of my list, and not been having an interest in that right now. Who knows though, I started KOMEO in between writing 'EVENTUAL'. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz---- --------------------------------------------------------------9/28/2014---------------------------- I must interject my opinion. Jimmy Nuzz cannot stand dramatic, sympathy grabbing, insecure wieners or people who are constantly belligerent. Know the type, it's a person who...if all alone with a gold fish. If the gold fish can talk back...these persons would argue with it. You know the type, I believe they're called, IMPOSSIBLE.---------------------- ---------------------'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz...somebody slap me--------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today nothing spectacular. My writing was laborious because, Oh I don't know. I believe it's because I added some real good phrases to keep the reader into it, and should do those things later. After the zing was done, the rest seemed blah. Its still okay, I thing there is too much story, third party, and wordy. The main thing to remember there are avid readers who really enjoy a novel with story. They like reading the conflict. This one character Newsman has enough neurotic thinking for three people he is so quirky; I like him...the guy reminds me of me. I deserve a day off. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz-------------------9/26/2014------------------------------------------------------------ Another fine day for writing KOMEO, chapter six, of part two. A cloudy and rainy day here in Connecticut, but I didn't care. Editing is taking the novel into all sorts of new levels in a dynamic which even blows the authors mind. I find myself searching through my previous chapters while proofreading, and editing in little nuggets of information to add to a phrase, or a sentence here and there. Keeping cadence with the reader is my latest focus and it feels good trying. Keeping them honed into a character, and focused on the story line of each paragraph. This is a book you'll have to put down, and can't wait to pick up and start reading again...if I don't say so myself. It's turning out really good. KOMEO coming soon.

Today's writing went excellent. I just finished a difficult chapter. The 5th chapter started out not looking exactly right from the very beginning. When I wrote 'KOMEO back in November, the story line rolled off my writers hand with ease. The entire 45 thousand word novel was completed in four months. My active imagination produced an active voice narration, second and third person writing, and my words were set in stone . So I thought. Originally I wanted to leave it as is in its entirety, and not go messing with my originality. I had an internal battle going on inside my mind right from the very start when I finally decided to transfer it from long hand to digital. What I resisted kept on persisting inside of me to modify parts ,which although seemed right, buy my writers instinct kept on going, and going. Chapter five was not exactly right from the beginning though. I thought I was in trouble. I put my active imagination into overdrive and accomplished a better story. I started reading sections, and tied together a new beginning together with the other paragraphs it all turned out to have all the cadence a well written chapter deserves, After finishing chapter five I went through the entire story from the beginning all over again for editing, proof reading, and to do the fine tuning the best my creative process allowed. I actually dreaded having to do it, but the entire story end to end threaded together like an exhibition on display. Needles to say, I was impressed with my product, and the way it turned out. I felt so impressed, and really thought the jaded feeling was going to have an effect on me. I write for six hour a day, but the time I have been spending on 'KOMEO' shows in the story after all. My mind can play tricks on me. I can go in between confidence, worry, and into serious thinking mode. The point I have learned in this can be two fold. One I have the confidence once I get to sit down and put my craft to work. Secondly, not to take the dread serious at all, and rely on the gifts of writing which lends many surprises around every turn. Better writhing is coming.

. Tonight I want to share a personal note I wrote to myself years ago while traveling around the country on my own. This saying, which I have held onto for all these years is one of my many creeds I cherish. And often read for myself when reminiscing about the many places I have been. One time in particular when eating a Thanksgiving dinner at a diner all alone, and the meal came over to my table cold, as if it were leftovers from the previous days buffet. ' The feeling of being all alone. I have seldom had the experience. Every time it happens, I've always remembering not liking it. Thank God there were so few.' Now I read this phrase when conjuring up a short story, or thinking on how to form a correct paragraph. Serious thinking I call it. In a sense a writers life can feel lonely at times. But honestly, now that I have taken up writing more and more lately. I yearn to be alone and to write the way a writer should. I wish I can keep writing myself to fortune. Then my dream of living in seclusion will be a reality. Not a lonely seclusion, but my private place for being as creative as my active imagination can take me. It will happen if I am patient. One chapter at a time. 'Be immune to rumor ---------------------------9/21/14---10:49 PM a Sunday----------------------------------------------------- I Have to add another juicy tidbit; any lonely starving, aspiring writers out there interested in a note I wrote to myself. No Dear Jim, but it goes like this. It will happen, be patient. One chapter at a time. 3 parts, and 12 chapters. One chapter at a time will be done soon enough. Take a deep breath, relax, and go. Check this out, since I am on my way into chapter ? I'll lay a secret on how I came up with my own trick to keep me inspired while writing KOMEO. I DREW A PICTURE IN PENCIL. Every picture had something to do with each chapter. For instance, in chapter 7. It took place at a tent city. I drew a tent, sort of a camping scene, and each picture I drew. I taped it to the side of my refrigerator and kept looking at these pictures while in deep thought for my next paragraphs. It worked like a charm. Sort of a prop to keep the mood while writing. Try it sometime. Draw a picture before starting a new chapter. Something that reminds you of the characters, or the main place in the chapter your writing through. You'll see its a good idea for prop purposes. Inspiration comes in many forms, this idea did my novel wonders for me. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz 9/13/14 a Saturday 3:14 PM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See bottom of page comment, a complement to the letter to myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 7th, 9:43 PM I want to say how the novel KOMEO is coming along. There are a lot editing going on, but the first chapter looks written well enough. I really hope to interject mare snappy phrases as I go along with the next 11 chapters. I do have a lot of confidence in my writing abilities, Hey even Elvis sings off note once in a while. I really shouldn't be too overly what I think, or believe an editor thinks. Personally, their a dime a dozen as far that I can tell. Unless I need to do another draft, but I remember what Stephen King once said in his book; On Writing. An editor takes his words, and makes then divine. I don't know exactly what he meant, but I am sure even Stephen King isn't perfect either. Remember I said this...every time I reread, and edit away. It kind of looks boring (my chapter) to me. I feel it doesn't have, or I don't feel the same excitement. But after a while, the excitement kicks in within a short editing spell here and there. Well folks, and what I really mean to say is aspiring authors. Never be discouraged by writing, and thank my writing hand, at least I had 54 thousand words pre-written about KOMEO to start with. The drag sets in, knowing I have it almost 90% written is a relief to say the least. Writing is a tough lonely road. Why is it we love it so much anyway. I don't know, it's great to have an active imagination, and a drop of talent to write it all down. Good grammar skills don't hurt either. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am not keeping the date in order, so don't blow up at me over them being jumbled. First I have a statement to make, I could be mistaken. I believe some people don't believe Writers Café is a free reading site when they go to it, or basically avoid it all together, because people are conditioned to think every thing you read on line costs something like Kindle. Secondly, Paradise really must be, a quick thought. There are publishers which will love my novel the way it is when finished. Don't underestimate yourself Jimmy Nuzz I say. I do a good job selling KOMEO with story all through every chapter that people will like. What more can a self respecting aspiring writer. 'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz.-------------9/14/14 10:37 PM----------------------------------- ---If anyone thinks I am posting this for bragging rights, or entertainment...you're right.- My fellow aspiring writers. I have to lead in with my latest revelation. 9/3/2014 till I am done. I believe this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I can't even think about eating, I am so excited. My novel KOMEO is finally within my reach. I started Chapter one, Part one. Part one: Search Is On Chapter 1, Something Lurking In The Tunnels. Take it from another aspiring writer. this is even better than an orgasm, to finally se the light at the end of the tunnel. No pun intended. I went to my local library, and asked for an extended time on their computer from one hour to three hours at a time. The director, Bruce G. was kind enough to grant my request, if only I wrote a letter requesting the need, and for what. To make a long story short, I got permission. What a way to go, if I don't say so myself. I'll keep you posted.

Idea Oriented...Jimmy Like Have any other writers out there ever hear of this. A writers personality, will always be revealed through their style of writing. A writers style may be modified over time with experience. Editors which have experience reading for their living will tell you. Not only can they detect personality, they also have a sense of the writers demeanor, and educational background. I have noticed an accent coming through a persons writing. Its so true, our writing tells a lot about ourselves. Through our writing as we work our magic. Little do we realize how much people can tell about us. I know, I always give a compliment when reading something well written. Actually a well written piece, and an understandable writer is impressive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ its going to be another bottom line. I already am feeling a MOJO on writing. Thinking about the day, the day I have to enter into a partnership with a publisher. Kind of reminds me of J.D. Salinger. The guy never took no s**t off these power structure bunch of blood sucking fools. Imagine them trying to manipulate an author to change their words around to suit them, or how their stuck on an idea of control. Not this guy, hopefully none of my fellow aspiring writers let the hot shots think their the ones in charge. You own your work, your the one calling the shots. Let all those twisted book rights and artistic expression lead your way. And with that said...'Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz -------- Today is a very good day------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ALMOST FELT LIKE I WAS GOING OUT OF MY MND. Writing this novel began to scare me a little bit. Its a good thing t was rewritten. All the editing I am doing is fine one thought, and second guessing myself the next. Its okay though, all part of the process. I just wish it felt as good as when I first wrote it. I googled another authors perception. And he/her suggested not going over and over the same sentences, paragraphs, or the chance of becoming jaded might happen. Their so right, because that was exactly my fear. See, not only do I worry about whether I have too many commas, I have some sense in my head about keeping as fresh as it was when I wrote...close anyway. September 12 a Friday, 2014-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today, Sept, 2nd. 2014 Started entering my Komeo novel into the library computer, with my flash disc ready for action. The timer shut me down and ate a few paragraphs before I had a chance hit ;save as'. 435 words were left behind, I'll start over again tomorrow. So out of three pages, 1200 words into it, add edited a few lines for grammar corrections. But that's okay, it will get better with some practice. Don't want to loose all my kool. A lady walked by me when I was working on the computer. Asked if I minded, and happened to mention to remember to hit save as. I wish the next time someone asks me, 'do I mind' I hope I wave them off my case. Well another day in an aspiring writers day. The worse feeling in the world is having your work floating out in space. I can not stand computers. I'll start over again. Hear my frustration, or should I say...feel my frustration. It happens to all of us. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Idea Oriented STARTS HERE When a new dynamic of my future writing is revealed, which I can always see clearly. Just when the feeling as though pieces of my inner self are coming forth. This new dynamic takes over from inside my soul. Its hard to describe, but it happens like an, all of a sudden moment occurs. An idea for a story crossed my mind. Those creative juices trickle in, and knowing exactly how I will reap more benefits coming with it soon. Talk about grabbing onto any up lift which comes my way. Even though while writing, times can often seem bleak. There are still those moments where all ideas begin in an instant, and give rise to have a look into the future. All of my ideas come to me in the most peculiar ways. Its really a mystery not knowing exactly what flips the switch on sometimes. But there really seems to be, to me. My positive mental attitude, and an active imagination working on overdrive. There may be a lot of purposes for my directional thinking patterns. I am always trying to be involved with any new such ideas. Such ideas which are taking shape for a new short writing projects all the time. Thoughts breath new life into an idea. A gift to be honest, being grateful and with humble appreciation. To make the best of my ideas, and deserve every moment of every positive spark. A great gift indeed, its like kissing the glass when its half full. Until the water flows over in abundance. To be there, and get wet with joy. Jumping in and waiting for more of these moments, which will come again soon someday. When the waterfall of writing, with a big splash lands happily at my feet . To think, it all starts with a simple idea, as another brand new dynamic. Write on, and keep writing. BY the power of writing, I COMMAND you. End of Story 'Be immune to rumor' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know where this kind of philosophical thinking comes from. As an aspiring writer, Ill take it. These are the things I come up with, to help pass the time during mild writers block. Writing through it just comes natural. Something constructive to do while riding it out. Kind of like throwing myself a personal hurricane party. Iye, Iye, Iye. This is crazy. When I win the battle, everything is going to be great. Freedom to think and feel myself relax again. A huge deserving sigh of relief. I can see myself now. Just the though of winning carried me through a lot in the past before too. It also gives me a chance to connect spiritually for a while. There are a few other words to describe the blockage, but thinking positive is my only hope. My writing for one thing. Time seems to have been kind to me. There are still plenty of positive times coming. The occasional blues are tolerable. A tough act I intend to win. To come out the other side, ahead of this episode. Hard luck moments can not last forever. They better end once and for all. Feeling vulnerable is scary. Its fleeting and a feeling which can be unpredictable. Anytime a sense of the writers block grip. Can be lingering, but not knowing exactly when its going to hit before sneaking up on me. That is the worst, especially in the middle of a writing project. This also must go away. After being clearer, and completely cured again. The bouncing back time can become shorter. The trick is not to sink into it in the first place, but I can not control it. Feelings are hard to control. What ever triggers writers block, has something to do with my reactive mind. My own mind, to be specific. Thoughts of despair & An insecure moment & Weakness. The things I need to change most. Enthusiasm to replace those fleeting things for starters. Secondly, more strength in my confidence will do the trick. This will all keep my self esteem afloat long enough to ride it through. What a relief. Thank you very much. 'Be immune to rumor" Jimmy Nuzz ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be the first to tell anybody. This (the above) is some of the worse writing I have ever written. And that, is the end of the story. JN Have a good Labor Day, 2014. I AM BETTER NOW. When its bad, admit it, and move on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bottom of page compliment to a letter to myself from above.----------------------------------------------------------------------------don't, but are you confused yet?-------------------------------- I can hardly wait until this is all over, when this is the best time of my life. Why I or what makes me think the way I do amazes me all the time. Well, sometimes all the time. I rely on my creed. It will happen, be patient. One chapter at a time. 3 parts, and twelve chapters. One chapter at a time will be done soon enough. Take a deep breath, relax and go. This revelation are words for me to live by for now. Especially while I am supposed to be having the time of my life. We will see though, only time will tell. ' Be immune to rumor' Jimmy Nuzz------------9/15/2014 ------------------------ Testing, I wrote not to forget to mention the places in my chapters are locations I travel through. They are a good reminder of my scenes. and if I get it right, the words will be spectacular. You want to know something, I wrote better before, and better writing days are ahead. Live places, written in my novel, and as I pass through them does wonders for my ego, I have to admit. 9/17/2014 My first draft was better.
