Of Blogs, The Umbilical Cord, and the Internet…,

Connecting with the godhead, that part of the divine that lives within all, the Imago Dei, coalesces the disparate parts of the soul, mind and brokenness of heart and spirit.
Writing or revising and editing this part of a story or novel can and often dispenses healing to the writer whose words later transmit this to the reader.

This area operates much like the night before that big game, the minutes ticking up to giving one’s debut concert. For writers this can function much like reading one’s novel for those last times wherein we institute final edits towards bringing the work to its brightest hue
