What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

My life hasn't been that mysterious, really, but it hasn't stopped me from hatching some ideas in my mind that would make good plots for mystery books. I have quite a few, but here are some that readily come to mind:

- The western coastline of Michigan is not "guarded" very well. What if foreign spies were coming/going in/out of the USA using a safe house north of Muskegon?

- A woman has dreams over a three year period where a similar man appears and stalks her though he never reaches her. Then, in real life, while working at her job at the local mall, the exact same man shows up for real. The plot could then go any which way.
- Two men compete for all of the same things in high school, with one (we'll call him Greg) winning almost all of the time. The other becomes so bitter that he makes it part of his life purpose to make the adult life of the Greg miserable and a failure. It'd be a great lesson on envy, jealousy, bitterness, revenge, and more.

I love good mysteries. Thanks for asking!

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Terry Linhart I am terrible at dealing with this. I actually switch to reading and speaking. I read what I've already written, to let me ears hear what is going on.…moreI am terrible at dealing with this. I actually switch to reading and speaking. I read what I've already written, to let me ears hear what is going on. Since I'm a former music major in college, this is how I learn and think best (or at least I've convinced myself of that). Then, using Dragon, I can speak for a while and let the speech become text. It's a kickstart for me. (less)

What do we bring to Jesus?

An Advent Reflection Advent begins with movement. God does not wait for us to climb our way up to heaven through our own efforts or “goodness”; he comes down to us. That’s the Advent message. He steps into dust and breath, into a stable thick with the smell of animals and the ache of human… What do we bring to Jesus?

Terry’s Quotes

“The ears of our generation have been made so delicate by the senseless multitude of flatterers that, as soon as we perceive that anything of ours is not approved of, we cry out that we are being bitterly assailed; and when we can repel the truth by no other pretence, we escape by attributing bitterness, impatience, intemperance, to our adversaries.”
― Martin Luther, Concerning Christian Liberty
