The past couple weeks have just been jammed with activity but now as I try to recall it all I can’t. The holidays have a way of blurring almost two months of the year and this appears to be the case yet again. Add to this the fact that my aging grandmother suffered a fairly…

I had a real doozy of a dream last night and it made me want to learn more about colors so I will have a better vocabulary to describe the unbelievable scenery that my mind built. I have always found it to be a somewhat difficult task to convey colorful scenes because I have a…

I am intent on spending the entire year of 2024 in service to the artist I know is in me. Once again I can feel the bursting out of possibilities in all directions and the continued lack of responsibilities practically paving the way for free and clear exploration of these avenues. I want to take…

Just under a week until Thanksgiving, a made-up American holiday that conveniently glosses over the amount of suffering that existed during the beginning of the tradition.

I have been tasked with writing an article that describes things that kids can do as an enrichment activity and one of the things on the list is creative writing. The first sentence that came to mind when I considered this as something for kids to do is: “Creative writing is a sure way for…

I’m 11 days into my new approach for writing and I can say without a doubt that I should have been tackling projects like this all along. In the space of that time I have added 5,663 words to my book and looking at that number is encouraging as hell. The number of words I…

The steady approach to writing seems to be a much better way at getting results, and I’m over a week of 500 words a day now.
