After my years studying A Course in Miracles, then discovering the truth found in traditional Christianity, I realized that some of the ideas in the Course (when biblically based) were valid and needed to be shared with the Christian community who (rightfully so) were not moved to study the book due to its many doctrinal flaws. My book, "A Course in Christianity" takes a look at some valid biblically based points found in the Course, while never forgetting our Lord's sacrifice for our sins (missing from A Course in Miracles).

I was in grade school when I wrote my first poem. It came to me so fast, I could barely write it down. I still remember it:
I like to read
It's like planting a seed
To your life ahead
Make use of it, I beg
Only read the good books
The books that make you learn
Don't read the bad books,
They'll make you toss and turn
But if you like to read bad books
That's your decision, not mine
I'm only trying to tell you
Good books are divine
It was published in my school newspaper and I could truthfully say that I had the bug to be a writer from that point onward.

I am currently making audio books of my books previously published on Amazon. I just finished "A Course in Christianity" (my latest book) and am now working on "A Holy Hodgepodge". It is a fun thing to do but requires my environment to be quiet as I don't have a studio. Therefore, it is a slow process.

Don't force it. Ask for God's help. Then let your writing take on a life of its own and try not to block the creativity with too much analyzation. If it isn't fun, do something else until your inspired to write.

Obviously, communication! I love being able to inspire, I love the unforced humor that flows from my pen (at times). It's a joy when I'm in the flow and creativity is brimming from my consciousness. There's nothing like it!
Vic Zarley
If I am unable to write, I don't. My only good writing is inspired by the Holy Spirit and if I PUSH it, it comes out forced and is discarded nearly every time. So if I can't write, I do other things until I can.
