Dear Dona,
Thank you for your question. I am not sure "Step Turn Murder" is the answer. I have had mental illness for about thirty years, but with prayer and medication, it is pretty much under control. I believe God can heal us supernaturally, but I'm not sure he wouldn't also use medication. People with mental illness sometimes have chemical imbalances, kind of like a diabetic has an imbalance that needs to be controlled with insulin. I hope your sister has a complete healing, but if she needs medicine or counseling, I think God can get the glory from that as well as anything else. I'll be praying for your sister to be healed.

As I crept through crusty blood of winged-herrings, the conclusion became very clear: she'd leapt in joy at seeing her beloved, and the mad-fish ate her alive. Her beloved was then the last on earth, unable to propagate unless by artifice; he headed off in search of the genetics lab, having destroyed the last of the demonic winged-herrings in an inferno of his own making...who am I?

I don't get writer's block often; my challenge is plot & character. If someone is blocked, I'd suggest doing something you want to do, and that the words will come flowing back in.

The best thing about writing to me is the ability to create worlds or share ideas from an armchair in a quiet setting with good thoughts.

Get an education, work a day job you're good at, and see if the two intersect or if the writing can earn you money. If not but you still enjoy it, stay with it as a hobby if wanted. Don't give up on your dreams.

My pen may go dormant for a time but then ideas sometimes flood in.

I was an actor in New York and Pennsylvania, and wanted to reflect on that time so I wrote The Actor Who.
