When Life Gives you Lemons…

Posted on by

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. After being on the road all day for work, I was asked by my wife to help her move the bed of a lady that she helps out at the Nursing Home. That isn’t a big deal, but this lady is nearing the end of her life and is quite out of it at the moment. So, I went to help and, after three hours of very emotional work, we had her settled in a better bed, had the truck packed with the old bed and were on our way home. So why the difficulty (other than seeing a lady I’ve known for a long while in distress)? Well, she is refusing food […]

Guest Post – Books that Inspired – Finding Worth in Fiction – by Timothy C. Ward

Posted on by

It’s amazing to think of my journey from first reading books to writing my own. Before I worked on editing my novel’s chapter six of draft four, I finished reading, Wool, by Hugh Howey, the best Sci-Fi since, Ender’s Game, the Sci-Fi that showed I could enjoy a young adult hero, and which shocked me to find that it was over.

What are you trying to say with your writing?

Posted on by

I don’t make a habit of trying to be controversial in my writing. I have stories I want to tell and I do that to the best of my ability. It wasn’t until a friend of mine pointed out that my stories tend to have some common themes that I was even aware of them. Now, before you ask me what the common themes are, I will tell you right now, I’m not saying. If you want to figure it out, there are ways to do it. But, for the record, this post isn’t about me for a change. Yes, I will still talk about myself. It IS my post, after all, but that still isn’t the point. 😉 So […]
