The Making of a Writer

Writers should write everyday. Carve out some time for yourself and just let the words flow.

I know those words are hypocritical of what I do. I have time but I don't discipline my time as I should. Do I have an extra hour per day to do this? The simple answer is yes! Yes, I do. I just need to plan it out. Is it a waste of time? Absolutely not. I love writing and words stitched together can be so powerful. Words can rule. Literally.

When I take a class online to enhance my writing skills I stay focused and get the work done. I have written some of my best work in those classes. I have not shared all of it. I hope to one day. Right now I want to focus on writing and finishing my many manuscripts I have that are unfinished. Who knows maybe I will self publish them too.

Writing to me is like fine art and photography. It is relaxing and I feel in a trance when doing any of the three. I may not make any money from any of them but I do realize the satisfaction of taking a picture that has the best composition and light I could never have imagined, capturing in my painting an image that, well, someone can actually recognize what it is or writing a story and having it critiqued by my peers and they really, really, really like it.

So the making of a writer to me is find the time, enjoy what you do and don't put money before your craft. Life is short, just enjoy the time you have here. The best, of course, is yet to come.

I Can't See You

I can't see you, but I know you are there. I feel you with my hands when I touch what you have made. The world is full of your creations, we should all be amazed! I can't see you, but I know you are there. When I'm alone, I know you are with me I feel your presence in the air, the water, the breeze in the trees, the aroma from the flowers, and the miracle of the tiny seeds. I can't see you, but I know you are there. I see the birds fly across the sky, I see the water move in waves, I see what your hands have made I even looked in the mirror and saw the miracle you molded in my mother's womb. I can't see you, but I know you are there. I hear the birds chirping outside, they are music flying in the sky. No need to clothe or feed for your hand I do not see keeps them filled, clothed, and free. I can't see you, but I know you are there. ...

The Power of Prayer

"The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God's realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love." ~ Corrie Ten Boom
