READING CAN MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

Reading can enhance your life. Studies show that the most successful people are the ones who read. We can learn a lot by picking up a magazine, a book, or a newspaper. I think it's great to be able to talk to others about what you read, too. Reading promotes conversation, intelligence, and knowledge. So, what are you waiting for?

I think everyone has a story to tell, and we should. For many years, I got away from writing fiction, but I have had a great time writing my first novel as an adult. Changing real-life situations into fiction helps heal the heart.

What can I say about Life? Mine has been tough at times, but I'm grateful that God has given me mercy, grace, and love. I love my life and the family I've been blessed with.

Collision on Paper

Okay... don't laugh. I tried my hand at poetry today. It seemed to come fairly easy, but whether it's good, or even understandable to anyone else, is the question.

I want to be a published writer, and writers are supposed to write every day. So today, it's poetry. 


Collision on Paper

The vacant page
It bids me come
To express myself
With abandon and
Without regret.

The words summoned
Are drenched in significance
If only to me.

Tales are created from
This charming prose as it
Runs throughout the night
Awakening secret places
Where fiction and truth collide.

Distinct words chosen
Together create expressive phrases
Daring the creator to
Spin and transform
Lyrical puzzle bits
Into something convincing.

The reader
Takes the engraved page and
Desires to discover
Something noteworthy
To believe.

Lyrics dare to tell
With noble precision
The structured expression.

Where void once lived
Richness now exists.
