To Prompt, or Not to Prompt?
In my experience of writing over the past 12 years, I think writing prompts are essential for writers. "But isn't everyone just writing about the same thing?" Well, yes and no. While writers might use the same prompt, the separate pieces of work will never come out exactly the same. Everyone has their own interpretation … Continue reading To Prompt, or Not to Prompt?

There are plenty of times in life when a door will close, and yes, another one opens. However, we don't always see this at the time. Sometimes we dwell on what we didn't get and just take the next door that opens without realizing that the first door was closed for a reason. Think about it, … Continue reading When God Closes Doors
