DJ Edmonston was born in Boston Massachusetts. Having a love of architecture he attended Blue Hills Technical Institute (later becoming a division of Massasoit Community College) for architectural design. He soon changed programs and pursued his other gifting and passion, art and illustration. In 1991, he relocated to Orlando, Florida where he merged and pursued a three-fold passion for art, architectural design, and illustration. The result was a successful freelance business as an architectural illustrator, providing conceptual artwork to market development projects throughout the southern U.S. and the Caribbean.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I tend to be a "little wordy" at times, so i never really seem to stuggle with what I want to "say or write." Where I do struggle some times is putting it all together. I am always full of creative thoughts or ideas that I put down in my smart phone or computer. Even if they don't completely fit into place with what I am working on. I can then go back and fit them together. The best way I can explain it is if you have ever watched a documentary on Pixar and their amazing storytelling capabilities. They come up with ideas and put them on cards and post them on a board. The group of writers then look and discuss each card (pitch) as the writer of that pitch describes and acts out the scenes. I tend to use the same process at least in my head. I try and revise the different thoughts and ideas and their order in my head over and over, then write them in cleaned up "polished form" on the computer. I try not to initially concentrate or be pressured on anything but the concept and emotional content of what I am trying to get forth. I come from an illustration/ concept art background, so when I write I merely try and put forth in words what my imagination see's. I said in the beginning I was "wordy." LOL.(less)

It is awesome to me to be able to share through characters and stories truths and beliefs in a creative way without the listener or readers eyes glazing over and picking up their smart phone or other distractions and zoning out on you. That's what Jesus did, and to me he was the best communicator the world has ever known. We are all so overly connected now days with a gizzillion things to do that if someone picks up a book its a good thing, and hopefully they wont start to get glazy eyed as they read my writing. Hahhha. Well, at least I hope not.(less)

My first try at Poetry

Her
"She enters my sight with her breathtaking beauty,
her eyes glinting playfully in the dim light...

I behold her lean and tender frame,
her slight form made perfect by God's creation.

My heart leaps in my chest, my breathing becoming labored
as my emotions silently scream in elation.

Her beauty momentarily stuns me,
cloaking my adoration and love into a quiet submission.

Should I tell her? can I tell h Read more of this blog post »

D.J.’s Quotes

“Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing beside us?”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Willing To Review Christian Group — 702 members — last activity Jan 23, 2026 01:14PM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
