Read MoreI will help you fight through writer's block and help motivate you to embark on a spiritual writing journey. I will encourage you to get in touch with the divine element that lies within you. Then I will lead you through suggestions as to how to write about your spiritual experience.
I will tailor your interests to offer ideas for writing topics. Your faith experience will be respected as I offer suggestions for your writing assignments. For instance, I may ask you to write about God's favorite animal. Is it people, or is it a dolphin or some other animal?
You can write freely and not worry about spelling or punctuation. Just get your thoughts typed into a Word document. Then I will edit your writing and return it to you so you will see how your writing might be interpreted by another set of eyes.
I welcome any comments you might have about any posts. I am also interested in the artwork, poetry or music of my readers. Send me a note and I'll be glad to reply.
