After numerous false starts, I found and made more time to read – and that’s been amazing. As a child, I loved to read. I think it was all the reading that I did as a kid that led me to become a writer. Ideas like – hey, I can do that, too – made me desire to write my own stories. When I was 9, I wrote my first 50-page, illustrated sci-fi novel. Wildfire,
Doesn’t matter who’s reading so much as the need to keep writing must be satisfied. Why do I write? The short answer is that I’m compelled to write. For me, it’s like breathing – it’s something I do. Maneuvering words into sentences, paragraphs, and pages – whether fiction, nonfiction, or business – is my skill. This is my chosen vocation in life.

Right from the start, school was something I looked forward to and enjoyed. I learned to read well when I was very young. How young? I have no idea. All I recall is that I tended to finish in-class assignments (and subsequently any homework assignments) early – so I
Did you succeed with the creative endeavors you worked on? Since I started to write full-time to live as a professional author, I’ve been producing a lot more finished work in my creative endeavors. Let’s stick to my fiction work, here. Before shifting my focus to my creative endeavors, I self-published 3 novels before 2020. Then, in 2020, I published 3 novels. In 2021, I published 6 novels. In 2022, I completed multiple works. The
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
