However, when I am having difficulty getting the words to show themselves, I step away from what I am working on and write about something entirely different.

My daily goal for writing is 1000 words. Generally, I double that without too much effort. This, of course, is raw writing, of the 1000-2000 words editing may pare that down to 500 that I keep.

The other thing I do is limit myself to writing in the morning. I find that I am more focused on the current project, have not been distracted by the daily things of life, and the output tends to be more consistent and usable.(less)

You can create or destroy worlds, change history, mold the future, affect the present, End and renew the universe.

The limitations of physics are gone. Time travel, intergalactic exploration, contact with extra-terrestrial life, are all at your disposal.

Reading takes people where they may never go, writing blazes the trails.(less)

The Wound in the Blueprint: On Suffering and the Mind Behind Creation

Where’s the Intelligence in Intelligent Design?

Since the first human watched something beloved die and asked, “Why?” the question of suffering has haunted theology, philosophy, and literature.
