I call it “Do you remember our first night together?” The moon dances on the rippling waters as we gaze up at the stars.We look upon each other for words to perfect this moment but cannot speak.The ripples of the water know the tales that our hearts are trying to tell as they have seenContinue reading “A Poem for Lovers, Do You Remember Our First Night Together?”

Experience Nature’s Majesty to Clear Your Mind
Writing can be a grueling process, as we all know. The subject matter, content, and the overall quality of writing all suffer if we suffer mentally. Finding a happy place for meditation becomes a staple for anyone pursuing a writing career. For the longest time, working out was an excellent release for me and helpedContinue reading “Experience Nature’s Majesty to Clear Your Mind”
A Compassionate Quote, Kiss the Ground and Be Reunited
“You long to be reunited with your loved ones. It’s understandable. If you are in dire need of their touch, kiss the ground, for that is where they have returned.” When I wrote this dialogue for a female protagonist, Genevieve Riley, I immediately started going through my resources to see where I have heard itContinue reading “A Compassionate Quote, Kiss the Ground and Be Reunited”
A Quote, and a Peek Behind the Curtain of My Creative Process
As I continue my writing, I like to peruse my previous entries looking for potential advertising type of material. I found this little nugget of dialogue from a unique character with an interesting perspective: “I’d rather be using this wood to start a campfire or build a home, not use it to make a coffin.Continue reading “A Quote, and a Peek Behind the Curtain of My Creative Process”
The Poem and The Painting
I figured I’d share another poem that I feel relates to reality and true love. In my novel Curse of The Walking Man, the protagonist found the short poem below from his ancestor on the back of a painting. The painting encapsulated a frozen moment between two soulmates (his ancestors). While we’re happy or weary,Continue reading “The Poem and The Painting”
Living Blessed, even in 2020
Originally posted on Laura K. Ito:
It’s been one year. One whole blessed year. Like marriage or a child’s age, it feels like a lifetime and yesterday all at once. On December 11th, 2019, I was being prepped for surgery. My surgeon prepared my mind and body for the worst. A 17 cm mass engulfed…
What’s Your Motivation?
For the cursed town in my novel, a small brazen group formed to help fend off the antagonist. Every night, they would put themselves in danger to protect the civilians. For them, it was a hard transition, going from living a carefree life to an ingredient in a devil’s soup. At any moment, The WalkingContinue reading “What’s Your Motivation?”
A Painting of a Person Represents a Tableau of Reality
A painting of a person represents a tableau of the reality of a life, or lives, that currently exist or existed previously. The textured canvas holds the aspirations of the figures within that frozen moment. Timeless, the painting connects generations to life, a vision, or a world that once was. When I came up withContinue reading “A Painting of a Person Represents a Tableau of Reality”
That’s Just The DIY’er in Me: The Kitchen
Motivation is enigmatic within us. When will it hit us? Will it hit us? How close to the edge before we get that burst of adrenaline and decide now is the time? For me, it was in my first home. The year was 2016, I wanted to do something special for my wife, and weContinue reading “That’s Just The DIY’er in Me: The Kitchen”
One’s Mirror Reflection
I was going through some advertising material that I had spun up a few months back for my novel and stumbled across an interesting topic that focused on our mirror reflections. In my novel, there is a character named Jeffrey, who had recently discovered a mirror for the first time. Jeffrey seeing himself for theContinue reading “One’s Mirror Reflection”
Sometimes Reality is the Nightmare to Our Dreams
Short and sweet. From my upcoming novel, The Creature of Humanity.
Let’s Connect on The Bones of Knowledge
I am new to the blogging world, so I am writing this to encourage participation. I am hoping to create some new friends and connections. There are no wrong answers. The idea is to name as many elements that enable us to gain knowledge in some way, shape, or form. With that being said, oneContinue reading “Let’s Connect on The Bones of Knowledge”
Failure is The Natural Ebb and Flow of Life
Failure is the seven-letter word that no one wants to experience. Unless, of course, you’re playing the game Scrabble, then it is a welcomed guest being worth 10 points, not too shabby. However, if one stops and thinks about the other positives that come from failure, maybe it wouldn’t be considered so bad after all.Continue reading “Failure is The Natural Ebb and Flow of Life”
Surely You Jest!
Random thoughts sort of blog, short and sweet! Over the years, I’ve always bounced certain decisions off close friends or relatives of mine for insight and feedback. They all offered good advice, ultimately similar advice such as “what does your gut tell you to do?” and “just listen to the little person on your shoulder.”Continue reading “Surely You Jest!”
