Saying goodbye to 2010

When I looked at the calendar on my desk, I could hardly believe how swiftly this year has passed. There were so many days; 365 days to be precise. Yet still I didn't accomplish nearly all the projects I'd assigned for myself. In all my hurrying, when I finally came to terms with the strides I have made; as I knew it would happen, my four legged best friend sailed away to her heaven. The pain in my heart due to this loss nearly crushed me. Even so, as I look back on this year, I've come to know some wonderful people. It is these fabulous relationships that bring a smile to my face. Most of these people I came to know thanks to the internet. It also was the internet that opened my eyes to the gaining force of independent professionals. People whose dreams will not be dashed due to the establishment. I'm so happy to know that there are countless people out there like me. For this reason, as I look to the future, I will always do my best to encourage my indie friends in whatever way that I can. In closing for the year 2010, I would like to say, hold on to your dream and never give up until you've finally crossed over your finish line.

A retired Teacher writes a Series

While searching the internet for a good Indie story, I stumbled on a writer from Michigan by the name of Bob Morrow. After reading his bio then an excerpt from his book, I found myself admiring his creative spirit. Mr. Morrow is a retired teacher who is using his talent to write books. His series "The Big Sky" has three books and he's currently working on book four. Check out his work and judge for yourself, the stories appear to have a heartwarming quality. Link

It all starts with attitude

Having an idea or a dream that hasn't been shared isn't easy. Keeping hopes or wants locked away in a chest; never realized due to one reason or another, this kind of stagnancy can zap creative juices into nothingness. The moment a flow from a vision takes root; it is in that instant the mental tempo needs to change. A jolt of energy should shift that idea into motion. Life must be infused into the ambition. Before actually testing out the idea of a plan, this dream can begin by mushrooming within the mind. If you can envision a picture of your idea, the first steps have been taken. From that point, the forecast can only get better. Expect greatness and huge things will happen. Keep your attitude high and never allow it to fall short by sagging under pressure.

Far From Shore: This indie writers journey

I can vividly remember the second I couldn't turn around, resuming my life as it once was. That moment when I wrote my first story and received a positive review; I was to far out to return to things as they once were. In the oceans of the writer, I'd swam past the buoy. There were no lifeguards warning me of the limits. With every stroke of my pen, every key that was pressed; after each period and ending story, I became enmeshed in the world of writing. I'm to far from shore, so there's no other destiny for my life now. I'm in the shipping lanes, writing with the same vigor as the big name writers.
