I’m writing this post not to discourage anyone; however, I’m dealing with life’s trials and tribulations right now and the only way I find true healing is to write my feelings and breathe for a time. So here goes… I’m getting a divorce. I still hate that word. Feelings of pain, heartbreak and shame rush…
As I sit here in the silence, I hear my deepest thoughts and desires rushing through my mind like an unstoppable river flowing down, down, down into a vast pool of dreams. As my thoughts press there weight upon the pool, I feel them sinking beneath the surface, almost fully submerged by the deep water.…
Good evening lovely blog world! So I know I’ve been absent for at least a year. Life happens. But you can bet I’m not done writing. In fact, my large novel is finding it’s ending and transforming into far more than I thought it could. The characters have told me what they want. They’ve led…
The easiest thing to do is quit, give up. But the right thing to do is to pursue, to conquer. Wouldn’t you rather do the right thing? Who told you the route of pursuing your dreams was going to be as easy as learning to tie your shoes? Why do you think it should take…
Words press upon my mind, whisper to my soul, command my heart. Words ever linger on the tip of my tongue. Words fly in my face and form into magical sentences that take my breath away. Words ignite the fire of my soul and quench my thirst for meaning. Words never fade. They come, they…
I’m inspired again! My writing is taking off in so many unexpected ways, and I’m feeling the inspiration flowing through me like never before. I’ve started back up with my fantasy fiction novel. Im ready to tackle and finish it before the end of the year. Recently, I’ve been spending about five hours on it…
Never lose your wonder- that childlike sense that the world holds something magical, something more. Never let it fade, for it’s in that wonder where you’ll find your inspiration for the next big song, idea, book. Let wonder broaden your mind, awaken your senses and lead you to believe. Let wonder be the mainstay of…
I shall belong to greatness, and it shall belong to me. I shall reach for the stars, and they shall set me free. I shall write a millions words, and they shall always be. I shall read a million books, and they shall awaken me. I shall live a life worth living, and it shall…
This look is inspired by Seraphinara, one of my favorite characters in my fantasy fiction novel The Forest of No Return– a novel I’ve been working on for about five years now. I got inspired the other day and wanted to take a character I wrote into existence on paper and bring her to life.…
Wake up and strive. Strive for more goals achieved, strive for more life lived, strive for more words written, more songs sung, more love given, more kindness shown. Strive to be more than average in a world filled with ordinary souls. Strive to reach the greatest heights of your dreams and know you will make…
There are no limits to the love I hold for books and words. My love is boundless, endless and ever-growing. I can’t be stopped. My addiction, my obsession, my true love is reading, writing, books and books and books. I’m incurable. My addiction is strong. It lies within me as my destiny, begging me…
If I could choose ten authors to sit down and chat with, whether dead or alive, the below would be my pick in no particular order: 1) J.R.R. Tolkien- master of fantasy and creating languages, characters and lands 2) C.S. Lewis- master of metaphors, magic, apologetics 3) Diane Satterfield- master of eerie, intelligent stories that…
