I just answered a young man’s post, and after I reread it, I thought this may need to be shared. I often write from some emotion I’m experiencing. I often write from my heart. Tonight, I wrote from both, as well as a deep, sharp pain stirring within me. After reading comments from young people […]
I know, I know. I need to turn off the TV and radio. I need to put on an old record that soothes and pulls me back… back… far, far away from the hatred and fear infecting our country today. Yet, here it is, just staring us in the face… A birthday parade to deflect […]
If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? S. K. Earl Well, the first thought that comes to mind are the lyrics of a song… “Lost and alone on some forgotten highway, traveled by many… remembered by few.” Now, this is a bit long for a title, but it suits me. […]
Tonight, as I sat outside and gazed up at the almost starless blue- gray night sky, my thoughts drifted off to childhood days, and those long summer nights that were never wasted. Each magical night spent out in the moonlight with millions of stars twinkling above me remains forever a part of who I am. […]
As far back as the 1960’s, this issue has raged throughout society. Those in charge felt they should be able to discriminate hair length based on gender.

It’s been awhile since my last post, but sometimes life gets in the way, and you have to attend to other things. My goal is to continue this online journey.

Conflict… not something we want to deal with in our daily lives, but it’s there, slithering along like a snake waiting to attack us when we least expect it. Is the conflict in our lives as intricate as that which the characters in a novel experience? Probably even more so, although we don’t spell it […]
What grace we are given to live each day, to touch others’ lives, and to be touched by the lives of those around us. The Christmas season is always a time of reflection for me. How did I make a difference in the lives of my family, my friends, or even of strangers whose paths […]
I wanted to express my extreme gratitude to all the men and women who serve and have served in our armed forces. You are remembered and respected not only on Veterans’ Day, but everyday. It feels inadequate to merely say, “Thank you for your service”, so I will add thank you for my freedom, for […]
There’s just something about music that deeply touches my soul. I’ve often been asked about my writing style, and one of the sparks that generates writing within me comes from listening to and singing songs that “tell stories”. There are so many songwriters that have touched my soul with their beautiful words and music. Their […]
So…You Want to Write a Book
