I have to admit, I tend not to be a focused person as I go from one thing to the next, one project to the next, one person to the next. I confess, I am writing this post more about me than you. I need laser intense focus. One of my all time favorite animated […]...

Several months ago I released an e-Book on Amazon titled Missionary Writing that focuses on the pursuit of passion to write much like the passion a missionary has to abandon all.
