Writer's Block: My Secret Talent
When I am having trouble finding fresh words for my book, I turn to other subjects and write about them, or develop some prose for my own satisfaction. Even if it is nonsense, it is nonsense in motion. Movement pushes back stagnation, and it helps keep any feelings of desperation and/or despair at arm's length. -
Mutterings...
Today I find myself wishing to write, with God in mind and also in the background of my writing. I stumbled upon some stuff I had copied off of another's page, and today I wish to respond in a general way.
He had been rambling on about a dinner he had been invited to, and a woman he had encountered at the dinner table, whose ideas of God were ( Read more... ) -
Pharaoh's Prison
In the midst of my querying literary agents ( I received my first rejection), I have been settling in now at a new job for the last month.

Labor Day and the Sabbath - part 1

Memorial Day musings
I am surrounded by pictures of my sons; images of yesteryear and small moments caught on film for school and church and play and most of all, love. Young, younger, and youngest: all are memories both fun and warm and speak of where they were and what they were doing then. There are even pictures of me, thinner, smiling, in the moment; my arms ( Read more... ) -
your prison
Everyone has their time in prison. I am not talking about the physical prisons of this world, but the prison we each are thrown into because of where we are in life. It is a part of our journey to find our destiny that is inevitable, unavoidable, and always harsh to our sensibilities ( Read more... ) -
Emasculation
Were we to group ourselves, as a world population, into personality types, I wonder where the lines would be drawn?

How many different personality types are there, and are there subgroups within each of them ( Read more... )
