(view spoiler)[There is a local family that lives near me. When discussing their geology, they shared a detail that one of their great-grandmother's parents was unknown due to the fact that she had been found after a few wagon trains had moved through the area. Back then there was no way to find the parents of the little girl, so she was taken in by a local family and raised as their own. I found this fact utterly heartbreaking. I used this detail as a catalyst when I wrote the story of Middlesettlements. (hide spoiler)]

I rest my mind. Get my thoughts on something else for a bit. Usually when I come back to it, new little details creep in and that helps me weave the story.

Basil, I've never experienced writer's block. if you write what you know, the words will gush forth like a new, cold-water spring.

I am currently working on my soon to be released novel "No-Till". I can't wait to share this unique story with you.
Basil Pearl
All these words, ideas, stories and feelings swirl around inside my head. When I write, it's an expression all these things channeled into a creative form. Kind of like a potter's wheel, molding and shaping. To be able to create a story that touches another's heart, yeah, that's the best thing ever about being a writer.
Basil Pearl
Thank you Mr. Shaw. I'm extremely appreciative of all the kind words that have flowed my way.
