Shots in the dark...

For the first time since my wife passed, June 25, 2018, I've decided to start writing again. Not sure if this will make it into the final cut of the novel I'm working on (Distortion, a White Noise series), but I thought I'd share the rough draft of my first words back. *** Wet hail assaulted the thin metal roof of the RV like a barrage of weapons fire. Ash sat on the floor, back against the couch,...

My Answer: Grief is a process to be embraced and walked through.  Your physical brain has developed protein structures (memories and muscle memories) that tell your body to react in a certain way. These structures tell the leg to move when walking and...

A little ditty I was singing in the kitchen...

I can't recall the words to... This song that's stuck in my head... I must know the words, to this stupid song, or I can't go to bed... It's the Circle of Life...

Give light to my eyes

This Psalms is my hearts cry: Psalm 13For the director of music. A psalm of David.  1How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?  2How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?   3Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in...

Have you died yet today?

Recently, I said I wasn't religious but I did have a relationship with Jesus. The person replied that is a "textbook" response for a Christian; therefore, I am a Christian; therefore, I am religious. I have to laugh because "religion" is the dead following of dead traditions. The difference between my two-way relationship with a real living person (Jesus) and a religious person is the difference...

The Future of Work: Is being a writer (artist, musician, creative) an impractical career?

In a writers group on Facebook, a young writer asked (edited): How do you respond to family members saying that being a writer is impractical? This is a great question. When I was going to college I stopped pursuing music and theater because it didn't seem to lead to a "practical career". I got bogged...

Writing Craft: Show / Don't Tell

Lessons I've learned about writing... In the world of creative writing, no phrase or lesson is more repeated than the famous: Show Don't Tell What does that mean, exactly? It means don't give me a fact but show it to me. Let the actions of the character tell me he's nervous. Let the characters actions and motives be so tied to the setting, that they direct what details I get to see. Read this: Dr....

Expression...

Bob Hamp has a teaching called Freedom from Depression. He says that a synonym for Depression it Suppression; and, an antonym is Expression. In other words, the opposite of Depression is to allow the Expression of who you were created by God to be. As soon as I typed that, my Knowledge of Good tried to figure out how to make that happen. I started thinking about how to find out who or what...
