Every post with the label 'Quagmire' in the title is an excerpt from a story that has been bouncing around my head for the past five years, now. In my hectic and unpredictable college days, it became harder and harder to find the needed free time to transfer this story from my imagination into words. Unfortunately, due to my unfortunate emotional circumstances of the past several months, I have been unable to contribute more, for the longest time. I continue in my Herculean effort to overcome this severe impediment to my writing ability, and ask for people's thoughts and prayers in doing so.
For me, the two hardest parts of writing fiction are creating dialogue (narrative being my strong spot) and telling the story in proper chronological sequence. Every so often I've managed to record key scenes from different times in the story. Some of which I've written in Prose form. Others in Drama form. And others in Narrative form. The following excerpts represent each of these forms. The large body of the story is still unwritten. I invite potential readers to discern what they can from these bits and pieces.
