Far and Wide and Every Lost Minute.

Here is a blog post that I found to be encouraging to me as a writer and as a reader. Reading outside your genre will inspire you in more ways than you can imagine. If that’s not reason enough to read far and wide, here’s another reason I started reading more than the genres I was comfortable with: I found out that I like writing in fantasy and Christian mystery/thriller. Maybe this avenue of self-discovery will hold true for you in a different way, but you’ll never know if you don’t expand your reading preferences.

Please enjoy the following post and if you like it, please leave a comment on the original blog and give it a like and a share or two.

I Loved this author interview, because it brought back memories of books I used to read. It just goes to show you that writers have to be bookworms like everyone else, in order to become the writers we are today.

See how many of the books mentioned in this post you remember in your childhood. Please leave comments on the original blog. If you enjoy this post as much as I did, why not give it a like and a share or two.

Good morning everyone in the blogosphere. Today I am sharing an interview with one of our own wordpress community. To P.J. Lazos, owner of the site Green Life Blue Water, I really enjoyed this interview and I hope others who read it will check out your work as well.

I also found journaling to be therapeutic for me after suffering emotional abuse twice. I also think music is a great source of healing, and combining it with keeping a journal can help you get rid of the painful goop in your head and clear your mind for more creativity. Now, I find that my journal also surves as a dumping ground for scenes that I need to take out of my novels in progress.

Please read the post linked here and give it a like and a share or two. If you have a comment, please leave it on the author’s blog.

Blessings to you all and happy reading and writing.
