iPainting The Penguin Burgess Meredith
Today’s iPainting from the classic Batman series is one that I am very well acquainted with. The reason that the Penguin is my favorite villain can be narrowed down to two words, Burgess Meredith.

The Essence Of Writing
Erma Bombeck, a very famous humorist from the sixties to the nineties, was also a Mother. When her children were young, she did not have a lot of time for writing. Because of this, as ideas came to her, she would write them on napkins, and stick them into a drawer. When the kids were asleep, she would write. The Essence of Writing is not to fashion your lives around it, but to fashion your writing around your life. Writing is important, I believe in both making time for it, and using tools to allow it to happen. What you do not have to do, is to allow it to…

Writing Four Days
We are four days out from the beginning of Nanowrimo, or the National Novel Writing Month. If you have been writing each day since we started talking, you’ll have at least 3,500 words. If you write for the next four days that will be another 2,000 words. Even if you miss a day, or have missed a day, you are ahead of the starting point of November 1 in this case. If you haven’t started writing yet, you still have four days until Nanowrimo starts, so you haven’t missed anything. The truth is, you can begin your book any day of the year, and it will be the year you…

Writing And The Corral
On this date, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday participated in the Gunfight At The O.K. Corral in 1881. What does that have to do with your writing journey, quite a bit actually. Did you know it only lasted for thirty seconds? Did you know Wyatt Earp wasn’t the main figure of the gunfight? He was there, but his brother Virgil was Town Marshall. Plus, it wasn’t actually at the O.K. Corral, but on Fremont street six doors away. Again, what does all this have to do with writing? Because it became famous, not due to the reports of the Earp family, or the Clantons, but a writer named Stuart Lake.…

Faithful And Kind
Psalm 145:13 (ESV) “… The LORD is faithful in all his wordsand kind in all his works.” I love this verse, and I’m so thankful that God is faithful, but also that He is kind. It is more than enough that He is faithful, but the fact that He is kind speaks to His goodness and His care for us. It reminds me of a recent message from Bishop Spencer McCool Sr where He mentioned God’s kindness to us, even when we were sinners. I’m so thankful for His goodness, His faithfulness, and His kindness. It would have been more than enough to experience salvation. It would have been more…
