When they say "communication is key", then they would be right, but of course there is always another question to ask: who is they? Writers don't necessarily need to be profound public speakers, or even people who like talking in general.

Today started great. I got up earlier than usual, and finally it felt as if I had gotten through the rut of being on vacation (Christmas break).

When I started writing I always looked for tips on hosting write more effectively or how to craft better characters.

When I think back on the last year I wonder about all the decisions that I've made, which have led me to this point in my life. Little less than a year and a half ago I married my wife, and that was a day to be remembered and cherished.

Writers are born to tell stories, and that heritage spans all the way back to before the written word when writers were actually considered storytellers.

My wife and I have spent several Christmas' together. This year was no different that any other, and it all started sometime in June or July. See with my wife there is an inescapable joy she experiences when she gets to sing Christmas music.

The fundamental truth about my writing is that a lot of the time I make little to no sense. Actually I have my moments where complete clarity does tend to find its way in and stick, but those moments are like lightning strikes.

What does it mean to be a passionate writer? Not sure I can rightly answer that question, but I do remember something my high school English teacher once told me. To be a good writer, one must be a good reader.

What does it mean to be a servant of God? I have spent a lot of time listening to other fellow believers, and non-believers constantly searching for their place, either in this world or in God's plan.

Today, started out pretty good. Started getting rid of the cold that I have been harboring for nearly a week now, and it finally feels great to not be coughing up strange things.
