Fantasy, Reality, and the Wonder of Story. Welcome to My World! November 8, 2014. This past weekend, my literary citizenship class and I travelled to Anderson University for the Indiana Faith and Writing Conference. I was very soon to be surprised.

She left us with the challenge words can light fires within people’s souls . This ...Please un...

Fantasy, Reality, and the Wonder of Story. Welcome to My World! What Was The Question? November 18, 2014. December 3, 2014. My college theatre just finished production work on Moliere’s outrageously funny classic. I had the privilege of being a part of the ensemble of brilliantly ridiculous characters. Yesterday, we wrapped up our first weekend of performance. Inside every good play lives a question. A great play asks big questions that endure through timeWhen I reach for a play on the shelf, I know ...

https://watershedmomentgate.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/invocation
A 2016 election support group. March 29, 2016. April 1, 2016. Whitworth & Sweitzer. Captain America’s having a rough day. Is the sky really falling, or are we blowing things out of proportion? Probably a bit of both. Even so, we don’t need to put a shine job on the fact that this is the most unpalatable slate of presidential candidates in modern history. Both dominant political parties are self-destructing (to varying degrees), reflecting divisive trends in society as a whole. We don’t claim to know a pe...

Fantasy, Reality, and the Wonder of Story. Welcome to My World! The Fault in Our Bias (in which John Green makes another convert). November 25, 2014. November 25, 2014. This summer I was forced to chew on one of the toughest bits of humble pie I’d ever tasted. It started when my roommate (a literary citizen of impeccable taste) recommended a book that could hardly be called obscure:. The Fault in Our Stars. Still, I had promises to keep, and reluctantly pulled this work from the bookstand. By 3 am, t...

Writing Class – I Write, Therefore I Am
https://sgradybristol.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/writing-class
I Write, Therefore I Am. Life as a writer penning a novel. Bat at Cather House. April 13, 2016. An opportunity presented itself to me this winter. I found out about a program at the local university called the “Senior Passport.”. I hate to admit that I celebrated my “Medicare Birthday” this year but being 65 has given me some new opportunities. I signed up to audit a class on writing short stories. It has been a wonderful experience. Writing in a group has a way of bringing people together, of bonding wi...

I Write, Therefore I Am. Life as a writer penning a novel. Bat at Cather House. 8220;And that’s the way it is.”. January 5, 2017.

I Write, Therefore I Am. Life as a writer penning a novel. Bat at Cather House. July 19, 2016. It happened again. I was with a group of writers, this time at a cabin by a lake, and a bat appeared. Me in Willa Cather’s bedroom. The retreat was going well. We were enjoying the camaraderie and writing prompts as planned. The Cather Home in Red Cloud, Nebraska. I thought my head felt strange. I touched my scalp. It was damp. Did the bat bite me and cause bleeding? 8221; So, I was back to square one. I go...
