  • ALL THAT HARD WORK…

    I didn’t truly realize how difficult writing – and getting a book published – can be. I mean, I knew it would take some time. Just not as long as it has. It’s been roughly two – no, three – decades since I started seriously writing – intending to be published by the age of…

  • WT: Being Friendly

    You wouldn’t expect me to become friends with total strangers as easily as I do. I not only don’t “get out” as much as many people, but I have an unusual habit of speaking my mind TOO MUCH. I’m not as outspoken in some ways, but in others… you just can’t [shut me up]. A…

  • ‘ I can’t do it ‘

    I started out doing well. But then I hit a massive block. Now it won’t stop ‘popping up’ when I’m not expecting it. It makes me want to cry and scream A LOT. When I started writing at 15 (I’m putting an average age since I wasn’t serious about it until 16, but actually started…

  • What’s your focus?

    I want to write blog posts that are ENGAGING. I want to write books that are APPEALING. I want to write things that will CHANGE LIVES. For the better, of course. That will HELP people in their day-to-day doings. That will HELP them to see where they NEED to change how they do things or…

  • Remember to study

    OK. So “we” have established that I won’t stop writing anytime soon. I have to keep my brain going somehow. I need to be doing some research for a few things, that’s certain. I’m trying to do that more, but it isn’t easy to stop doing the “fun part” and study like I’m back in…

  • Confusing Times

    When the Coronavirus first made itself known, most of the world panicked. And I can totally understand that. Though I was unsure at times if my sanity would remain intact. Being “stuck at home” for days and days with no opportunity of spending time with other people or “alone”, I felt more and more as…

  • Painful Promises

    A promise is sacred. Each of us makes promises, correct? As well, I’m relatively certain we’ve each broken a promise or two, correct? In my opinion, the first promise of true value one makes is at marriage. A man pledges his life to a woman – and vice versa – for the rest of his…

  • True Christianity

    I apologize for any delay in publishing stories and the like ‘here’. I’m having a bit of difficulty with the layout of the site. A person who claims they are a Christian must put Christ in the front seat of the proverbial vehicle they are riding in. If a human being is at the wheel,…

  • Broken Down Dreams

    In search of “the perfect home”, Markus Trudy buys a run-down house in need of some extreme TLC. In the process of cleaning and rebuilding the place, he meets FMC when she brings water and lunch every day. The teasing he gets from his closest friend is no surprise to him, but the ribbing he…

  • The days are crawling…

    I haven’t posted here in quite a while. Several weeks, at the very least. Perhaps months. But now, with this pandemic and so much free time on my hands, I find myself wanting to get several things accomplished I planned on previously. That’s where the days seem to have become so empty, long and boring.…
