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.

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?
