Most Changing. Ever Constant. See it all here... https://peggyjdavenport.com/2019/07/23/wip-behind-the-white-gate-5-inspiration-the-storm/ One of my biggest writing inspirations would be where the ocean meets the sand…where the wave washes away a clean slate. Where they smooth and sooth the roughness. Complete metaphors for life.

When writing. So I came across a book I simply fell in love with to help me in my writing. There are about six of them and so far I have about half. The Emotion Thesaurus. I love this book and bought it first out of the series of the editors/writers because it was not only a super good and easy layout for fast reference. Like simple stupid when we writers have to read and research So much stuff to begin with and need Fast reference material. But how clean and well laid out it was and then I love how this book builds to reactions of actions and emotions and so forth. Move on to another of their line and you even have trauma emotions and whatnot. Hopefully Bird will benefit greatly from it in Behind The White Gate and that my #readers will be moved with emotion. #btwg #behindthewhitegate #writertools #writerstools #writerstoolbox #writer #book #howto #thesaurus #emotion #character #characterbuilding #theemotionthesaurus #angelaackerman #beccapuglist #writers #onwriting #amwriting #fiction #story #buildingastorybrand #novel #writinganovel https://www.instagram.com/p/B0PSi_iBuuU/?igshid=1u0jutzud7zjf

Me looking for my Lit agent…. Lol…actually here to talk a little about Behind The White Gate. The life on Galveston Island. Those stories where we run away…from family, life, problems, ourselves. But we always end up coming home. Relationships in our lives. The relationship we have with ourselves. The one with our mothers and break that down to our childhood relationship vs our adulthood (especially womanhood). The same with our fathers. the father who isn’t in our lives but no questions of why being answered. Then the men in our lives whom we choose to date and marry…or not, and just be friends with. And the different times in our lives. The relationships of sisters. Facing mental illness. What mental illness does to children. What it then does to us as adults. This includes suicides and even attempts. The fear of mental illness. Hereditary discussion. The faces of mental illness. In Birds story there is the face of mental illness in her mother while Bird is growing up. Then the face of it when Bird comes home and decades gone by. And the face of mental illness within Bird. The face of mental illness of Bird’s father. And that of her husband. There is a lot of discussion that comes from this story….keep watching and get involved! #BTWG #BehindThewhiteGate #WIP #Story #Novel #LitagentSearch #ToPublish #LookingforanAgent #Discussion https://www.instagram.com/p/BzzMY6OgZVT/?igshid=tv27g30x4xr6

The location of Behind The White Gate mainly takes place on Galveston Island. A place that had been where I would come and spend not only childhood summers but also some stormy childhood winter days, too. And sometimes in Texas comes a warm off season day that seemed like summer. Galveston Island is where I moved to when I came back to Texas. And I lived there for six years. I did a lot of growing and changing and lived a lot of life in those six years. I came to the island married. I left it long divorced. And much in between. I have also lived for six years in Southern California, the second and partial location of Bird’s story. I wrote about places I lived. Loved. Felt growth on. Was happy with at some point. And also left. As for Texas itself, also a place I came back to after leaving long ago. I wrote about places close in my heart at the time of writing Behind The White Gate. Fully because I felt the connection to those places. A little loss and yearning for what was of California but for what was also forever changed. And somewhat as my approaching goodbye to the island, instead of the stories returned hello. Location is a big part of a story for me when I write. I feel connection to location very deeply. My story being on Galveston island was my deepest connection then…and for a long time or forever always will be a very strong connection in my life. So setting on the island was much of what my feeling went into for this story. I will keep discussing the island as the living and breathing character she is as I also discuss the story and characters of BTWG. #BTWG #BehindTheWhiteGate #InSearchOfALiteraryAgent #WIP #Novel #AmWriting #Writing #Writer #Writerswork #Written #story #Galveston #GalvestonIsland #Location #Setting #Process https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrfB9IgbyM/?igshid=wlfs4la54ozw
