I am a husband, father, outdoor enthusiast, admirer of history, and delight in the challenges of creativity.

As an author I write about topics that help build character, faith, and our potential to be all that we can be while also improving the world around us.

I love to study history, geography, and cultures. I believe knowing a little about where others come from broadens perspective and helps build relationships.

I can get by speaking Portuguese and French. Far from fluent in them, I am always on the lookout for ways to improve my skills with these fun languages.

When it comes to reading, my book shelves are dominated by non-fiction, biographies, outdoor, and classical literature. However, will little kids at home, Children's book are cur ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

After completing the first draft I realized I had not provided any descriptions of the characters. I opened my Word file and started working on defining the main character Simon. Try and try and try I did until my head was sore. For the life of me I could not describe him. Figuring it was writers block, I went on to the next character. The same thing happened. I went to the next character. Exact same outcome. Though the novel I went, not being able to describe any of the characters in any significant or satisfactory way.

Frustrated I gave up for a time, thinking perhaps I needed a break. When I got back to it, I sat down with the main character, Simon. My hands hovered over the keyboard not writing a word. I had no idea where to start. At that moment 1 Samuel 16:7 flashed in my mind. It reads in part, “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature;…for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

The story required that I not describe the characters appearance's, but rather focus on the status of their hearts. Once this clarification was recognized I move forward with the novel without any issues.

It may not always be the case, but writer's block could be a misalignment from what the story should be. Until alignment is found little progress will be made. Seek harmony of the story, which may require multiple attempts. Frustration may cause us to give up, or produce a shabby version of the story that was not meant to be. Persistence - across years if necessary - will hopefully bring everything together accord.

PS a good long hike or a full day skiing on my own is also a good way to clear my mind, relax, and find inspiration and motivation to proceed. (less)

Though historical-fiction or biblical-fiction is of great interest to me, another aspect of my life is with improvisational comedy. I have performed and been associated with improv comedy for over a decade. I've performed for thousands of people in multiple locations. Through that journey I have found some amazing lessons that can help us build trust, live in confidence, and have a blast doing it.

My current literary work is entitled "Sliverware" - there is most definitely a comedic reason for that name which I will share at a later time. The novel focuses on my experiences as an improvisor and the life lessons from moments on stage that can be applied in our lives daily. (less)
