Aahhh… October! Not only is Fall in full swing around here in the East Tennessee mountains, but in the blogosphere, it’s Blogtober! I did this challenge last year, so for the second year in a row now, I’m challenging myself to write a blog every day this month!

I Write, Therefore I Am

“When talented people write badly, it’s generally for one of two reasons: Either they’re blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove or they’re driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They’re moved by a desire to touch the audience.” — Robert McKee I think I’m a talented writer who writes well, and in everything I write, I like to think that I do it out of a desire to touch the audience. I like to write stories that pull a reader in and engage them to either cheer […]
