My poor mom was always bombarded with my grouching and complaints whenever she presented me with another writing assignment, but she always believed I possessed the capability to write.

After a series of events which combined with an idea that wouldn't cease pestering me, I got over my anti-writing attitude, asked Mom for help on how to begin, and set about writing a story which I hope to someday publish (the first draft will never, ever see the light of day again. (less)

Five Ways to Ruin Your Book Cover

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a common phrase heard in the bookish world, whether you’re a writer, reviewer, or both. But let’s admit it. Most of us, myself included, do judge books by their covers, for both the good and bad that decision brings.

While there is some truth to not judging a book by the cover, that is no excuse to give your story a sloppy, unprofessional, or just general blah

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
