Any piece of art is incomplete until it is viewed/read/seen/heard/etc. There must be a human reaction to the creation for the artwork to even really exist in any kind of substantial way. A person may be moved, repulsed, in awe, indifferent, or anything else, but the point is that they had some ... Read More
Never give it up. Follow your dream in to the depths of madness. And if you succeed, get right on the trail of the next dream. I find myself quoting Franz Kafka quite often but once again, he sums it up so nicely. "Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own ... Read More

I guess persistance is the only solution. Eventually, someone has to actually read your work and decide it's worthy. Assuming, of course ... Read More

Although, I do agree that a lot of people decide to write books because they think they should, or they see that they ... Read More
Why are we here is a common enough philosophical question. Also common are questions about the nature of God. But let's get specific. He must have begun like any artist. The question is not who are we, what does God want from us, but rather, who is God and why did He create us in the first place? ... Read More
