Curiosity, are you curious about yourself and the world you live in?

Curiosity doesn't just happen, it's a part of you.
Because if you're curious
You don't take no for an answer.
You see the exception for every rule.
If you're curious,
You know one turn can lead you in a whole new direction.
You don't ask why, you ask why not!
If you're curious you know the best catch is the one that gets away.
Size matters.
And people can be trained.
If you know you always want to know more.
And if you always want to know more
You live curious.

*As spoken in the National Geographic Commercial - thought it was worth repeating.

What Drives A Story?

I'd like to pose a question today. What makes a good story? That's in anything, really. I may be a writer of novels but for simplicity sake I'm talking movies, TV, anything. What keeps the audience attention and drives the story forward?
Is it characters, plot, pacing? Answer: All of the above.
As I write this there is a Harry Potter Marathon on (you may have heard of it!) What I've come to find out about this series of movies is that there is ALWAYS something happening. It goes from one scene to the next, BOOM BOOM BOOM to keep the plot moving and keep you involved. Also, each scene deliberately sets up the next and alternately links the overall theme of the plot.

That, to me, is the perfect mix. But I write thrillers so I like a fast, keep you on your toes pace. Some of you might have a different take. Maybe some of you like a mystery that slowly unravels. Or a romance that has its ups and downs.
I'm all for those too. Point is there is variety for everyone.
Why I'm writing this particular blog today is because I'm having an issue with one of my new novels. It seems too slow, but maybe it is just too slow for me. I may be trying too hard (I tend to do that) but something is off so I've done something I have never done before. I started a second novel before I even finished writing the first.
There are so many things that could go wrong with that. But I just can't tear myself away from the first one and the second one is pulling at my mind daily insisting I write it. Ideally I would just dive into the second one and leave the first to get back to. But I'm trying something new.
I like to break the rules.
The point I'm trying to make is that this newest venture I just started is flowing out of my fingertips and mind faster than I can keep up.
So what makes the one story move along so easily and the other needs to be broken down into an outline and specifically plotted?
It is a strange business of creation but not one I'd ever trade.

So I ask you, what keeps the pages turning or your eyes glued to the set?

Changes

Summertime means changes. Not just in the season but for life in general.
That's the way life is most days. Nothing lasts forever. But you embrace the change and move forward. This year is looking to bring on a great many changes for myself. Soon you'll see the introduction of Original Cyn Advertising. This venture is only somewhat new but I'm embracing it as never before. The purpose will be to bring advertising mediums such as business cards, book covers, logos, book trailers, and such to those that want to get out of the cookie cutter lifestyle and into a creative and compelling expression of who they are and what they do.
Also, a slew of new novels are in the works. You'll see the re-release of favorites like The Crescent, and the debut of others (too soon to mention). CynthiaVespia.com will be undergoing some changes as well to make it more accessible to readers.
This blog itself will be bringing you fresh information by the week. So if there is anything you want to know leave a comment below. I've been in the writing and publishing industry for almost 20 yrs...that's a long time! I just came to realize that at a writer's meeting the other night.
In celebration of that (and my birthday) the ladies over at Author's Roast have set up a party in my honor. Drop by and leave a comment for your chance at winning my e-book DEMON HUNTER which was nominated for Best in Series in 2009.

And on a final note, I want to express mourning for the loss of some heroes. First to Macho Man Randy Savage who died in a car accident. I grew up watching Macho on WWF and he was always entertaining and fun. RIP
Also, goodbye to Arnold Schwarzennegger. Though he has not passed we all know what has gone down in his personal life that has become public and in that respect I no longer consider him a hero of mine. We all make mistakes, sure, but things change as I said before.
