Creatives' Rule!

       An explanation for our unbending drive as we strive toward the accomplishment of our goals and our dreams is Faith. Faith in one's ability is not believing that you can create, it is knowing that you will create. Sometimes seen as being single minded, I prefer the word focused. It is a 'focused faith' which lends us its strength to take a simple thought, vision, even a mere nuance and make it into something larger, more poignant that in turn touches others as the very essence of our creativity is shared. 

       Do not fear talent. Talent is a gift and it does not come in a generic brand as a low cost additive. When present, talent should be embraced, fostered and revered not wasted or hidden.
       It is clearly a choice of whether you stand facing yourself in the mirror each morning and humbly list your accomplishments or list excuses for why a goal has not been reached or a dream fulfilled.  





Simply embrace your talent with a focused faith not fear and allow your creativity to present it to the world. 

Give them something to talk about, give them something to see. 

Go ahead, have faith in yourself and believe in your dreams.

Demons and Devils

       What do you really know about their existence? Do you believe in Angels?  Just as you can't have one without the other... there is a line formed where the Light meets the Darkness.






Gather close sisters and brothers of Mother Earth......

And listen to the story as it is told.

For evil slithers in to grow like poison ivy 

 to collect your souls from within!

 A tale of Good vs. Evil where the reader must dare to take the ride!

  A comment from one of my readers:
Katie said...
I agree with both posts! Characterization, storyline, & central theme are excellent! For me the God/metaphysical mix was not problematic. I am solid enough in my belief system to accept it as how the author chose to weave the theme of Good vs. Evil and 'take the ride' when necessary. Otherwise a reader could not enjoy good themes presented in a different way...stories such as THE WIZARD OF OZ, for example. I recommend for readers to 'take the ride'!!

A FRIEND.....

When your life has a party and forgets to warn you,






The chaos ensues and the struggles begin.








A true friend is the one left after the dust settles,




And stands beside you through it all til the end!

A Quote from the Author:

"It's great to laugh, particularly at ourselves.  Take the world and all it contains seriously, but for goodness sake don't take ourselves too seriously."





Readers, here is an author with a serious multifaceted ambiance that you should take notice of.




4 Star Review for "The Violin Man's Legacy"



    Fast paced action that grabs you from the very first page mingles with spicy yet tasteful touches of steam to unwrinkle the investigative insights into the corporate world of security.

    Travel around the world......

across Europe, to Hong Kong and South America as this arresting plot plays out.

    No loose ends here readers and the 'legacy' will warm your heart with its honesty.

    The characters are well built and sturdy enough to bring the reader back for a second read and a sequel or two!

Gallacher, tell us.... is there a sequel in the works?



Stay tuned because he has agreed to be a guest here!

HERE! HERE!

Cheers!    ..........to the characters who live in the worlds of our imaginations!

    I had never considered their life after I move on but it is a "most interesting concept" to examine as part of who I am as a writer. Knowing our characters as only we can, the act of writing about them does give them a more enduring life span than even our own. What a bitter sweet realization for this writer. We mature as we write and henceforth our writing grows with us also maturing until it is ready to travel the world on its own path through time.

    Like our children, we watch our characters grow, taking form and becoming almost independent of us, their creator. Yet these beings unique to just our minds, once built with words, then become like our children. A part of ourselves that we send out into the world's garden to live on even after we are gone. Ah, the one true dream of this writer is defined by this statement:

"I want my works to be famous, not myself, so that it may survive me."

People say the nicest things! Check them out! See what kindness brings!

We rush around marketing and we lock ourselves away to write!  

But when you come up for air wondering if its all worth it....?

That is when you realize how others see you...

and you know its right!

THANKS EVERYONE!

YOU MAKE THE OG SMILE!

Having FRIENDS like you is such a DELIGHT!

I think I will keep adding to this one, its been fun to show you some of whats on my office wall!

Simply, words can be so endearing.

POWERFUL.

KIND.
