I was reading some time before other children my age. My dad helped to teach me and some of my reading skills were self-taught. I was reading books on my own before I entered Kindergarten. A severe underachiever in so many other academics, literature and language always came so easy to me.

Most people have a funny bone, even if modern science still can’t tell us where it’s located. I believe I have three. I always sought out books that were funny or whimsical. When I was eleven years old, I took it upon myself to write a novel that would be funnier than anything I’d ever read.

Why?

I really don't know. I will never claim to be the greatest writer, but at times like this I feel as Read more of this blog post »

“there is, indeed, a heaven but he said hell does not exist. According to Ezra, when one dies, they have a choice of remaining on earth as a ghost, being reincarnated or going to heaven. Ezra said that heaven is not the perfect paradise we mortals believe it to be but he said it is a wonderful place where you will be able to do everything you enjoyed in life. Ezra said that God does exist and is not the angry, vengeful”
