The writing process for me is sitting down every day and writing. . . .

A writer uses their creative ability to fully mine the levels of our existence — a wonderment of imagination forming a communal bond of writer and reader. A storyteller opens the door through inspired thought—the alloy of the mind’s eye—a galaxy of perception with an endless vault of words. A craftsman energizing their pen from the marrow of their creative thought. They begin a profound bond between reader and writer forging inspired exploration of the best kind . . . a work authentically rendered is truly a gift of full-circle.(less)

The visual arts where I began—painting, sculpture, photography, film, then writing are all acquired skills that require time, practice, and dedication Everyone has the potential to be a writer and so can you—you have a unique voice. Writing is an adventure worth exploring for yourself. Discover your authentic voice, what you are capable of imagining, written in your own words. And while you are writing—read…. Read everything. Expand your horizon. Open up your mind. Feed your creativeness. You will be amazed . . . and I will be looking forward to reading your good work in the future.(less)

Many writers fade with fashion . . . a favorite writer will last forever. --Tom Van Dyke

When Sue returned to Ohio, she gifted me with a signed copy of A Cowboy Christmas An American Tale. The author, Tom Van Dyke, is a dynamic writ Read more of this blog post »
