On a normal day, I would tell you all about my cherished memories. I mean, this is a blog about creative writing, right? But, I endured something a few years ago that took part of my memory. I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a preteen. Around my 20th birthday, I had multiple seizures which really affected my memory. Well, I'm sure you can imaging banging your head on the floor does nothing for your brain cell development. Even though I don't recall memories before the age of 15, I still remember how I felt when looking at a specific photographs. So, I'm going to share some photographic memories with you.

Thanks to my parents, I am infatuated with my genealogy and ancestry. My family comes from the Highlands of Scotland. I guess it would explain my obsession with Celtic music, Druidry, study of the elements, etc. But there is one Scottish element in particular that I find fascinating; the story of Robert Roy MacGregor, my ancestor.

I love my family. They have my best interests at heart and love me as I am while helping me be all I can be. They are courageous enough to hold me accountable and to ask the right questions, as well as being wise enough to trust their heart in asking questions they know need asked.

Branding is not subjective to models and marketing companies. It is very important to brand yourself as a person, no matter your career choice. For writers, however, it is even more important to refer to a particular word that inspires you. This word is your brand. It is the word you live by, the word you showcase in your work.

Well, I haven't seen much interest in the writing challenge for June. I know of a few people are going to make this commitment with me and I am grateful for your support. If it makes you feel better, I don't really know what I am doing.

The online media is taking the world by storm. Freelancers are now the desired choice for marketing firms, legal firms, and many other businesses. As a writer, it is extremely important that you keep an updated portfolio to show on your social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. It is time for you to take the next step and get paid for what you love to do. Don't hesitate, it's necessary and not as difficult as you may think.

Meditation is not only a science of the mind, it is an art of focusing your attention on one particular thing. It is the practice of control and the experience of solitude. Have you ever gone a day in your life in complete serenity? Assuming not, this is why meditation for beginners can be extremely hard and it will take a lot of time and effort.

It is no secret that we all devour the dream to be the next published work of art, destined for glory; infamous of our time. Too much? Well, don't act like you haven't thought about anything like that. There's no need to hide it. 

There are so many beautiful and inspiring ideas in the world, they begin with you. But bringing these ideas to life can be one of the most challenging aspects a writer will face. Especially when you want to convey particular emotions without a clear voice. I still have this challenge and do you want to know why? It's because I don't know as much about me as I think I do. Think about it, if you can't designate the basics of your life, how in the world will you convey those emotional experiences to your readers? Well, you can't.

It is really important that authors-to-be learn how to properly outline a short story (I call them Shorty's). Writers tend to get overly excited about their ideas as a new best-selling novel. When in fact, you've probably overwhelmed yourself into a state of not writing at all. I've been there. But shorty's are the only way to properly train your mind into organization for a novel.

Okay, it is no secret that I love to write. Recently I have had much time to reflect on stories I have started and realized I was missing something; passion. All writers begin with a dream, they want to create the next best seller. But there is a problem with that, what is your work truly worth if there is no conviction or relation?

When I was 16 years old I had the opportunity to join the Zion Youth Symphony Orchestra. Oh, what a pleasure that was. After our Bon Voyage concert we performed at Disney Land. In which we had the pleasurable opportunity of recording over the timeless classic Beauty and the Beast. Being able to work with an original music script by Alan Menkin was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Growing up, I constantly struggled with the pains of depression. I grew up with hemophilia and epilepsy. Let's just say it put me out of my happy place for a while. Eventually I became tired of placing unnecessary chemicals inside my body that only made me feel worse, so I looked for some natural mental solutions and I found them. Right now, I am going to share my methods with you.

If you asked anyone that knew me they would probably tell that I am neither pleasant nor practical. Besides the fact, you have to admit that it's a catchy title. Not to mention I spent hours on my banner. Yes, I did, in fact, make that all by myself. No matter, I have decided to keep a personal blog that features me. Wow, that sounds really conceded. But, come on, you blog about yourself too, am I right?
