Writing Snakes and My New Business Partner: Cardio
Part of writing is finding inspiration in your life to apply to your works.
Find something only you can say.
- James Dickey
For me, this often comes in the form of dreams. My dreams are unpredictable, vivid, lucid, wild and traumatizing at times. By writing them down I not only harnessed the characters of my novels but developed a story that stayed true to their characters.
Some can plan their dreams but not I. Yesterday I attended the most beautiful wedding I have seen in ages, my dream last night was about my Mom throwing snakes on my back.
While pondering how to bring in these distressful times and appropriately weave the content into the sequel of Befriending Death… Beyond Death… I have been starting off with some yoga and following up with some zumba.
Staying in good physical shape keeps your mind active and your ability to focus intact.

Lecture Topic: 10 Tips For Getting The Dream Job Done!
A writers’ most precious moment is finally holding the book they worked so hard to create. I can help people get there in less than half the time, by sharing the wisdom I learned during my journey that carried me the furthest. It took 6 years to finish my first novel while I shuffled through a world knowing nothing about what I was doing. Thankfully, I came out of that 6 year project with a ton of wisdom I’m excited to share. Enjoy 30-45 minutes of tips that will help aspiring writers maximize their time, decide on a plan of action, improve their writing style, develop a thicker skin and develop a buzz to keep the motivation flowing.
