Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

  •   My interview with script/screenwriter Corey Miller revealed a sensitive, kind professional, willing to engage a nobody - albeit a fellow writer of a different genre – and extend himself to those who love to hear about the reasons, motivations, scenarios, and events which pointed him to his career choices.  I realized in the process of this conversation those of us who write…

  •  This concludes my interview with uber-talented script/screenwriter, photographer, and gentleman Corey Miller. My gratitude for his time, his thoughtful candid answers, and the pleasure and privilege of having viewed his work  -  well, I really can't thank him enough. Tomorrow I'll conclude this series with a few of my thoughts on his answers. Thank you, Corey!                …

  •                       Above are just a few of the projects where you can find Corey Miller's writing contributions. I "found" Corey Miller's work on Reckless, but after interviewing him, I realized I'd previously seen his work on several prominent long-running series hits. An amazing script/screenwriter, Corey is a generous, kind, affable man who took the…

  •             It's hard to believe that a CBS summer replacement series by the name of Reckless could capture my attention and almost immediately become one of my favorite TV series. Ever. Only to learn it was not renewed. #SaveReckless has labored to get the attention of CBS and other stations for extending the series, but so…

  •           Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own, but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your…

  •                         I confess I hate Halloween. When evil is glorified, excuses and justifications are made for that glorification, and all the celebration eclipses that of Thanksgiving, I rarely call the day by it's adopted name. Yes, as a kid, I celebrated it with costumes, candy, and trick-or-treating. I'm not saying the day was any less…

  •    Sometimes we need to change our focus and remember the eternal instead of the temporary. God's artwork, designs, magnificence, and, yes, even His hope is evident everywhere on this corrupted planet. He sees. He knows. He even understands. But He also will not compromise His standards. He gave us Jesus to save us. That's the…

  •       Pictured above is Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. You may or may not be aware of him. Easily one of the best running backs in the NFL, Marshawn has been the target for media sensationalists because of mistakes made in his youthful first job in the league as a Buffalo Bill and one incident…

  •                         Storywriters everywhere must make umpteen decisions about what names to use for their characters. The era, the location, the ethnicity, and many more particulars often play into what a character is ultimately named. The commonality, diversity, and unique factors all participate in what names characters receive by their creators. If you've ever read a novel…

  •   Authors of fiction take special care to use just the right words to tell their stories. If they write "literary" prose, it seems the "pretty" words come out to play. If they write thrillers, the exciting, precision-based wording to incite the most tension surfaces. If they write fantasy, words of all kinds can show up – even…
