edit data

Frank lives and writes out of Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. He enjoys writing poetry and prose and often combines the two with a poem that precedes each story or chapter. He thinks that the addition of poetry adds another connotation for the readers to interpret the book. His biggest influences in terms of writing are David Carpenter, John Keats, and William Blake. Quotes that keep him engaged with writing from each of the above authors respectively are: "Write your guts out!"; "That which is creative, must itself create." and "My job is not to reason and compare, my job is to create." You can visit Frank's website at www.frankwayne.net. To have a look at his debut novel, "The Cumberland Tales." ...more

(Actually, lack of plot never has stopped me from writing.)

I guess what I'm saying is there is no pressure on me to write. So, writer's block? . . . I just go away and do something else, let my mind go, try writing poetry, try writing about any little thing that probably doesn't have anything to do with my current writing project, or, I go work on my boat.

Also, it is great to read your work to a group of people, and surprisingly, it resonates with your audience. Then you know you have created something worthwhile.

I also like to examine how writing, painting, and all the other arts reflect off each other. Often, I think of how music affects my writing, or how painting can possibly affect my writing. In terms of imagery, the study of great painters in terms of composition can add something to what you write. I find this fascinating.(less)
