Before I talk about how I felt and when I decided to use the word author, I asked the writing community of Twitter what their thoughts were; This question was something that prayed on my mind quite a bit when I started writing … Continue reading When Can You Call Yourself an Author?

They’re thought to be the brain's way of processing emotions, stimuli, memories, and other information that's been absorbed throughout the day. Many of the people that appear in your dreams may be people you know, perhaps in different roles; but they are people … Continue reading Dreams and Writing
