Best Things In Life
At six o’clock, we gas up the four-wheeler and the five of us pile on…yes, insanely illegal…but for pasture trailing, safe enough! We bump up the ruts of the steep hill behind our house to the swinging gate that is just wide enough for our ATV to squeeze through, rock-stacked fence stretching up the hill…
Mid-Week Motivation
Starting Your Day Out Right! Scripture, Short Devotion “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Our God knows there are times in our walk as believers when we must actively choose to exercise faith. I’m talking about those gut wrenching moments when we find…

It’s 3:22 on a Sunday afternoon and my creative juices have run dry. I kind of cheated on the last 80 words trying to make my 10,000 goal. They’re not really complete sentences, but at least the scene is complete and I really have to think about what happens next. It’s probably a good idea…
The Journey of Prayer
You’ve prayed for weeks, days, months, and now years for your spouse’s salvation. The prayers aren’t as frequent as before. Instead, a sense of hopelessness has slowly replaced the original fervency of your petitions. You’ve asked so many times, yet God seems to either not hear you or your spouse has an unusually thick skull.…

9:46 pm By the way, never made it to the morgue. Stopped off at the coffee shop first! Good Night!
Maybe I should I call it quits?
I just wrote the strangest scene in a crematory with a weird guy that looks like Ch*rles M*nson. (* is used so people googling the guy won’t find my site!) My guy is harmless in my story, but soooo strange. Don’t know if I’ll have to cut the scene out later, but it was soooo…
7,574 and Counting
Last night was productive and today I’ve written 4,774 words and the night is still young. It’s amazing what a little time to sit down and write can do for me. The story is coming faster than I can type, though I’m sure I’ll have to go back and iron out the details and plotting.…
2,800 and Calling it a Night!
That’s right. Even though I’m locked up in my bedroom and not a hotel room, I managed to crank out 2,800 words. I got sidetracked by research and emails and have not clue if anything I wrote makes sense, but that’s what critique partners and edits are for. Hopefully I’ll go over 10,000 words this…
Emotional Writing Rollercoaster
Boy, things are a mess right now! I was supposed to go on a writing weekend to a local Super 8 Motel. A friend of mine was going to meet me there for some “no talking just working on our computers” time. I was almost all set to go. All I needed to do was…
Seven Minutes with Sizzle
Good intentions. A writer’s life is full of them. And when it comes to finding time to spend one-on-one time with God, the proverbial “road” is paved with them. Well aware of this struggle in my own life, a scenario began to form in my mind… What if Jesus was making an appearance in our…
