It has been a while since I have posted a tip from my first blog series "5 Tips to Writing," and I figured the best way to get back into the driver's seat was to hop in and go. For this post we will be talking about the idea of mood.

The biggest question that I have been trying to answer lately is: how can a writer get the most out of their writing? I do my share of traveling and have found that a laptop or notebook as my main source for writing is difficult.

Trying to get back into the habit of writing daily is a difficult task. Considering all the writing courses that I took in college, you'd figure that writing daily would come easily.

There comes a day when your sitting or laying in bed crying your eyes out, feeling as if no one loves you. (That has not happened to me, well, lately.) What does it mean to give up in the middle of intense crisis, of suffering?

There isn't much to say about yourself when you're the storyteller. To spend a life in pursuit of telling the stories other people have lived is often easier than trying to tell your own story.

One of the first things I learned about writing was perspectives, well that and dialogue, but it doesn't sound as good for this post. While perspectives may seem odd to learn when first writing it is an essential piece of the creative process.

God calls us, but we must be willing to respond. There is no forced action, however, in denying what God has for us we can never truly in this life be fulfilled and satisfied, because we are denying the calling that we were meant for.
