My name changed from Gwen Hankins to Gwyn Huff. I am storyteller in the style of storytellers that used to sit around a campfire or inside ancient shelter. I love to hear and read stories-books. I am an aspiring/published author. This blog is about writing, writer's resources, authors, plotting, characterization, dialogue and creative process and me.

Writers' Block-Brain Constipation Cure
I love Otis Redding, Travis Tritt, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Louis Armstrong, Adele, Katy Perry--so I kind of have an eclectic taste in music--it's really how the music feels in my body.
When (which is rare) my brain is only producing "cardboard tasting" words--I love adjectives *sigh*. My go to guy for words is #Eminem. His music blasts the "accepted" clean, tight, writing framework out of my head. Man, I love that kid. We lived in two different times, but we share a similar past and I know words must "snap" and even have flavor and fragrance naturally in his spirit and brain. I love this kid. I listen, the flavor, energy, and passion of my own words come back and reclaim my brain. I feel whole.

He uses "R" rated words--Just FYI
Thanks Eminem--your a fantastic artist and man.

THE LOST WORLD by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Aud...
Free audio book on youtube ! The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle--it's in the public domain. I've never read this story or read the author. Sad, I know. It is interesting to compare language and social changes--it appears so far to be a wonderful love story!
