Hope :: My Request

Hello, beautiful readers! In addition to these blog posts, my Tikvah videos, and the fiction books I’ve mentioned that I’m trying to get published traditionally, I’ve been working on a non-fiction book! The book is titled, “So You’re a Christian. Now What?” It’s the first of four books that aid new believers in their walkContinue reading “Hope :: My Request”

Education :: Conflict and Resolution

Okay, our younger writers (really any school-age writer who isn’t inclined to being a writer) can often fail to write with a point to their stories. They tend to write their stories as if they’re mundane and real life. The means there’s no tension, no movement, no point. Getting a story on paper is aContinue reading “Education :: Conflict and Resolution”

Hope :: My Symbol

I only just realized I’ve never really talked about the symbol that represents all of my writing and videos. It’s attached to my emails and at the end of every blog post. But I’ve never written here about it. If you look closely, there is a semi-colon. As many of you will know, the semi-colonContinue reading “Hope :: My Symbol”

Education :: Incorporating Real Life into Fiction

The image attached to this post really has nothing to do with the post. I was looking for something animated that looked real and this picture popped up and I thought it was cool! Anyway… No matter our age, we’ve all got experiences that others don’t. We also have experiences in common, obviously. My point:Continue reading “Education :: Incorporating Real Life into Fiction”

Hope :: Stay the Course

No matter in what stage of life you find yourself entrenched, I’m willing to bet you’re fighting battles in your life. Maybe it’s that it seems everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Maybe it’s that you don’t have anyone supporting you. I could sit here all day naming off things that could beContinue reading “Hope :: Stay the Course”

Hope :: There’s Always Something

I struggle with depression. Sometimes it gets really bad. To the point where someone asks what’s good in my life and I can’t think of a single thing. The past few weeks have been extremely rough. Each day was progressively worse. I love the team I work with, but every single night I was dreadingContinue reading “Hope :: There’s Always Something”

Education :: Show, Don’t Tell

Hey, readers! First, I want to apologize for no education post last week. With my work schedule, I quickly lose track of what day of the week I’m on. By the time I realized I hadn’t posted here yet, it was already Monday… I’ll try to plan better! Any, today’s blog post. I chose theContinue reading “Education :: Show, Don’t Tell”

Hope :: Why I Believe

Some people believe in God because of some miracle He’s worked in their lives. Some believe because of total healing He’s performed. I believe because He’s always been here. I always had a hard time making friends. I had two best friends in elementary school. By the time I got into high school (7th grade)Continue reading “Hope :: Why I Believe”

Hope :: I Don’t Fit In

I’ve never been part of the ‘in’ crowd. I was never ‘normal’, or at least what everyone in my schools considered normal. I’m sure I’m not the only one. You don’t have to fit in. I know being in middle and high school is extremely difficult, especially when you don’t fit into the ‘normal’ crowd.Continue reading “Hope :: I Don’t Fit In”

Education :: Non-Fiction Prose vs. Research Paper

So this one is for our older writers, and it’s something I believe is very important for our high schoolers and college students to practice and understand. Before you roll your eyes and click out, let me implore you to not take this knowledge for granted. You may think it’s obvious and you don’t needContinue reading “Education :: Non-Fiction Prose vs. Research Paper”
