Day One of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey
As I journey towards turning “writer” from a self-proclaimed label to professional title, I’ve decided to give myself a focused challenge. Each day, from now until January 11, 2016, I hereby pledge to focus on my writings: novel, screenplay drafts, stage play rewrites, TV pilot scenes, etc.

Motivational Monday: Bloom and Grow
Tending to each petal With delicate touch and sense Fragile yet resilient In both beauty and depth The stem digs deep To find a connection Providing a sturdy base From which to grow Exists but only a time Enhancing the surroundings With color, vitality, and beauty.

30 August 2015 FINDING THAT CREATIVE SPARK Ever have moments when you feel completely uninspired? I had an entire day of them, which made this week’s Sunday SoulJourn entry significantly more challenging than normal. The tip of my pen rested on the lined paper waiting for inspiration to strike.
