Day 13: Writers from Stephen King to William Faulkner have stressed the connection between being a good reader and being a good writer. Spend a few moments writing about a book that inspires you. Because I could easily write 50 pages about books that inspire me, I’m going to set a timer and stick to…Read more Writing Prompt 13: Book that inspires me

Writing Prompt 9: Music
Prompt 9: Someone* one said, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." Try it anyway. (*There is more than one apocryphal story of where this quote came from.) I like music that is incredibly complex ... have I mentioned I don't like pop music? I think there is a huge difference between being a…Read more Writing Prompt 9: Music
Letters to the Church (Chapter 1)
A few weeks ago, I wrote post titled "Thoughts on Church", in which I reflected on the modern Christian church culture. I had been in the middle of re-reading Letters to the Church by Francis Chan at the time, and was experiencing a really big personal reevaluate of my church life. I have since finished the book, and…Read more Letters to the Church (Chapter 1)
October Books
October was a heavy month for me, in terms of school. If I wasn't in class, I was buried in my textbooks, or working on assignments. The time I did have to myself was spent taking care of more administrative, or not-as-fun personal things. I generally read the most at night, and therefore, I didn't…Read more October Books
September Books
I read a lot this month, while somehow managing to stay on top of my school work. I have quite a bit of free time, and I'm relishing it as much as possible before I succumb to the necessity to get a job. I have a stack of books sitting above my desk, and they're…Read more September Books
Summer Books
Here we go, finally! I didn't read nearly as much this summer as I would have liked. (I spent much of the time reading a heavy non-fiction book, which I still haven't finished.). I read a few really good books this summer, and it's sad to say, but I forgot how wonderful it is to actually…Read more Summer Books
Art to make you Feel
SoulPancake time! This particular prompt is "List five pieces of art that stimulate your brain stem". I love art, and so asking me to choose my top favorite pieces of art is like asking me to choose my top five favorite movies or books; it's impossible! *Note: I know this prompt is probably looking for visual…Read more Art to make you Feel
April Books
I finally have my act together enough to sit down and write this post. It should have happened a couple of weeks ago, but you know how it goes. Summer vacation suddenly hits, and all you want to do is absolutely nothing. Plus, I recently discovered the newest season of BBC's Sherlock, so of course…Read more April Books
Comfy shows for rest and relaxation ….
Hey guys, I feel like its been so long. I've had a veeery loooong week. I started my new job this week, finished up my shifts at my old job, and had a few finals. I worked a little over 40 hours this week, and got maybe 10 hours of sleep total Wednesday and Thursday…Read more Comfy shows for rest and relaxation ….
Summer Music
I love good music, the kind of music that reaches deep into your soul, and makes you feel alive. The kind of music that is created by true musicians and presented with tangible passion. (Have I mentioned yet that I can't stand modern pop music? And for multiple reasons .....) When summer rolls around, I…Read more Summer Music
