St. Cloud 1983

I have started working on a new story. I am combining a piece of memoir from 1983 and adding fictional parts to it. I have always wanted to write about this time in my life, freshman year in St. Cloud. I don't think I am dwelling on the past as much as taking some interesting events and expanding on them. They say the truth is more interesting than fiction sometimes. I think writers take real pieces of their lives and inject it into their writing. Zach Braff admits that during the interviews for the movie Garden State. He said he took many stories from his and his friends lives and merged them into the script for Garden State.


Speaking of movies, I watched Henry Poole is Here last night. Highly recommend it. I thought it was going to be a comedy since Luke Wilson was on the cover. I didn't even look at the back. I like his work. It was actually a serious drama with a few comedic moments. It's a story about faith and miracles. It's something I struggle with a lot. My faith. Well, it's a good movie.

Peace
