Behind the Wizard's Curtain

Friday, January 23, 2026

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Tagline done. How's the day? O/

Business thoughts this morning.

Colore. The story posts a new verse every Friday... that's the way it's set up at present.

What I'd like to do, and it is ambitious and unheard of, is post a new verse of Colore everyday along with Wonderfell.

As 'live' a process as possible to writing a tale.

So today is for setting that up.

I may still post a new verse later today.

The important thing for a writer is to find the way they work best. Prolific and continuous for this Ghos+.

If you read an Archaic Slab at the end of a post, you'll see I don't edit much. It's experience; it's trust of voice.

It's the same with prose.

No vanity... just a point of order for business.

My sentiments are that for a time Wonderfell is to become a 'discuss what's occurring craftwise in Colore' place of record.

With all the talk on the power of Story found here... how about I walk you through the process of creating one?

As I create one.

So I'll take you behind the Wizard's Curtain in Oz and show you how the magic is made as we make the magic.

What works for one creative endeavor works for them all. The steps we'll go through work for all Artists, for all people who have a dream they want to make real.

I do this as a Poet writing a story.

There is a major distinction here.

Poets use the shape of the genre and the sounds it welcomes to reinforce the metaphors we're making.

Colore is a Hero's adventure through a Wonderland of Dreams juxtaposed to snippets of speeches and conversations we hear in our lives.

The pairing of the two demonstrates the power of Story in what we call The Real World.

Colore will show how not listening to the wisdom of Story is the cause for all the hardship in our lives.

Some will find interest in the How-to thinking in some Wonderfell posts. Others will just want to read the tales.

Either way thank you for reading.

You see... in order to write a good story you have to have a sense of morality always in mind.

If there is one act that for certain would heal my Country right now it's: Keeping a sense of morality in everything we do.

There is a right way to live. The way of Story shows us how.

Expect a change in Wonderfell soon.

More Prose and Practical Process.

Artists rarely talk about how we do what we do. And though it's beyond what numbers can measure, the creative process can be shared and replicated... creatively.

(Sorry AI. You can never create anything... only regurgitate.)

Take care, thanks for reading (prose-y-er days ahead!), and make wonderful this wonderful day.
