Never say never. That should be written in big black letters on my office wall. Because if I say ‘never’, it’s pretty much a guarantee that I end up doing the very thing I said I’d never do.

Many of my story ideas come from dreams that God gives me, and one night I had an especially vivid dream.

You know, I haven’t posted on this blog for a long time, and I am still thinking heavily about continuing it or not. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of interest in it. That’s okay. I’m not upset by it. But combine that with a great disarray of my thoughts about putting down on paper in a fairly orderly fashion what I know about writing, and it makes it a lot of hard work for very little gain.
