My writing – Website support

Sourcechronicles dot com was the first domain I ever purchased. I had no idea what to do with it, but when I determined that the name of my novel series would be The Source Chronicles, I decided I needed to own the domain (domains, actually. I acquired both sourcechronicles and thesourcechronicles dot com). For a long time, I had nothing there. I parked the domain, and let it be. I had taken a basic HTML class years ago, but I

Positivity: Passion

What are you passionate about? Passion takes on many forms, far beyond the notions of love and relationships and sex. Passion is a driving force, it is something that drives us to try new things, to explore creative pathways, and to live a life beyond the mundane and every day. Many of us fall into a pretty set routine. Awaken, go to work, come home, spend some time with family or friends or otherwise in some form of relaxation, go

Pathwalking 146

No is not necessarily a negative. Sometimes along your path, you will have reasons to say no. While we often associate no with negatives, that is not always the case. There will be times when you need to say no because saying yes will actually lead you down the wrong path. We live in a world full of extremes. Left and right, liberal and conservative, short and tall, attractive and ugly…take your pick. But in truth, most of us live

My writing

I started to write fantasy and sci-fi when I was nine years old. My first completed work was 50 pages, illustrated sci-fi. I still have the original and a color copy around here somewhere. I have numerous other projects that have been started, some finished, some not. These span across elementary school, middle school, high school, college and beyond. I have been an active writer for over 30 years. I have written a vast amount of fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, Steampunk,

Positivity: Negativity

Negativity is a fact of life. Without negativity, we cannot experience positivity. While it is important to find positivity and to feel positive as you go through life, denying the existence of the negative is an unhealthy option. There are always extremes and extremists in the world. Good and evil, light and dark, tall and short, old and young, and so on and so forth. Most of us will live between the extremes, in the grey area, the middle ground,

Pathwalking 145

Pathwalking is not just an intellectual concept, it is also a spiritual and an emotional endeavor. I have stated rather frequently that to walk any given path you have to not only think about it, but you have to feel it, and you have to desire it. What’s the difference between the intellectual, spiritual and emotional? The intellectual is the easiest to examine. This is your thought process, this is your continued education. Intellect is a matter of learning, it

Positivity: Nature

Nature is full of amazing beauty and surprises. Pretty much every color you can imagine can be found in nature. There are insects, animals, plants, clouds and skies of any hue you can think of, and they are wondrous to behold. Nature is an incredible source of positivity. When you are walking along a trail, or sitting out on a beach, or picking apples in an orchard the energy of nature can suffuse you with intense positivity. The sights, sounds,

Pathwalking 144

Even though Pathwalking is for yourself, sometimes you will encounter guides along your way. Yes, I recognize that this is an inherent paradox. I often have talked about how Pathwalking is a solo process. And yet now I am putting it out there that from time to time you will encounter guides. What about being wary of outside influences? Not every outside influence is a bad thing. The issue with outside influences comes when you allow them to dominate your

Positivity: New Discoveries

There is always something new to discover. No matter how much you know, no matter how much you have seen, no matter how many experiences you have had, there is ALWAYS something new to discover. There is a random piece of information that you might encounter that will open new doors to your heart and mind. There is a place you have never been that will inspire you. There is a person you have never spoken to before who will

Pathwalking 143

Why are you on this path? The path you are on, right now, as you read this, why are you on it? Did you choose this path for yourself? Did someone else choose it for you? Did you stumble upon this path, or was there effort and conscious direction when you decided to travel upon it? I have probably asked all of these questions before. If they are being repeated, that is because they are so deeply important. If you
