THE EXCITING JOURNEY OF Writing

WHAT DOES A GLASS OF WINE, A CAST IRON SKILLET, AND A WRITER HAVE IN COMMON?

The wine industry loves to talk about aging and collecting wine because drinking a really old wine has a romantic allure. An old wine gives us a way to re-experience a year that was special in our memory, maybe the year of our birth or anniversary, or drink a wine that comes from a time we may never even have lived.

On top of this, when a wine that was meant to be aged is drunk, the aging of the wine helps create flavors and textures we would never have experienced had the wine not undergone aging.

                                                                             Only 1% of all the wine produced is meant to be aged.

A well-cared-for cast iron skillet will stay with you longer than a life partner—and if you use it properly, it will only get better with age and time. A newly-purchased cast iron skillet, even if it's pre-seasoned, isn't going to have great nonstick qualities.

Cook with it frequently, and with some patience, you'll begin to see better nonstick results.


                                What does a writer have in common with wine and a cast iron skillet? Everything!

Let me make my case.
Over time, the aging of the writer helps create flavors and textures in his stories he would not have experienced had the writer not undergone aging. The patience it takes to grow and mature as a writer takes years, sometimes decades.
                                                                                  Less than 1% of all books written ever get published!

Don't be afraid with that statistic. You see, the true reality is nothing good happens overnight and the results for one's patience will be amazing.

    What makes a writer? What do you envision when you think about that question?

    Someone sitting by an open window looking out over the ocean, desert, mountains? Rainy day, foggy, sunny? 

    My definition of a writer of fiction. A person who drives himself or herself to the edge of insanity when writing a story to the best of their ability that you the reader find entertaining.

    I can honestly say my life has been interesting, far from boring.  Land baron, restaurateur, photographer, artisan, author. A life full of ups and downs. A life full of stories.

    Along the way I've met hundreds of people, some interesting, some not. Some dangerous, some beautiful, some kind, and some cruel. During my lifetime I've even had my heart run over a couple of times, but when all of it is said and done I wouldn't trade it in. 


    Writing has always been inside of me, but the siren never called to me. I wasn't ready until one day in October of 2015 when life said, "Start writing."

    Writing is a long journey, full of many perils, but don't be afraid it is an exciting adventure!
