“Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.” Henry Louis Mencken

I have done some terrible things over the years, none that I am proud of and would definitely not utter to anyone.  What can I say, there’s a demon that lives within, one that I am in a battle to tame.

And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, af...

It is another day, and, with another day, comes the feeling of wanting to be alone. I didn’t want to get out of bed and head to work. However, I forced myself and I am out I popped in to Krispy Kreme, like I do every day. Well, almost every day. I ordered a small coffee, and, cinnamon raisin bagel, with cream cheese. With my coffee in my right hand, me approaching a table to sit, I clearly heard that voice in my head, saying, “Get up!

I am emotionally drained, and, at some point, I need to snap myself out of it, and live. That’s what that voice was encouraging me to do. Get Up!

Trying to write about your unexciting life.

Have you ever tried to write a book, and while writing, you think to yourself, this is rubbish.  Nobody's going to buy or read this.  Well, that's how I am feeling right now.  I am trying to tell a story, but it's not flowing, it doesn't sound exciting.  I keep asking, how do I make my boring life exciting on paper?
