the chicken or the egg

which came first. The old saying. I always believed it was the chicken since man started as man but then I am a Christian and not a scientist that has no believe in God. Now the scientists I am sure believe the egg came first or rather a tadpole. or a single cell.

What does this issue have to do with my writing. I know my blogs can seem a little off the wall. They are - most days. I just type the thoughts in my head. Well, this blog focuses on the impact writing has on my life. When I wrote about secret clubs, I imagined them everywhere. I live so close to my writings that my moods are clearly affected (or is it effected - I don't know which is right and I am too lazy today to look it up.)

When we played the games I was happy and fun to be around. Now the story is moving into a more serious phase and I hesitate to admit I am a little sad and depressed. A little. My mood is closer to sadness and depression.

But which comes first - the sad serious writing or the sad serious mood. Was it my mood that causes the story to mirror my feelings or is it the other way around. Right now I take my clues from the story. But when I first wrote the draft it did not. Funny! It is only as I edit and polish the chapters and prepare to post them that I feel the mood of the chapter. I transfer the emotion from the page onto my life. Strange.

I have begun a funny humorous story but have stopped dead cold. I guess I will have to get a few more chapters ahead before I can go back to thinking funny stuff. lol.

Cause and effect. Effect and causes.

Today I shall put on happy music. All day.
