The Inspired Blog

Hello, everyone! I have decided something.  It takes ages to finish a book and blogging has thus far been the bane of my existence, so I am going to start writing stories on my blog to serve two goals: 1) get my creative juices flowing and 2) help me stay engaged. Life has been pretty crazy lately, so my progress on book three has unfortunately been slim. I do sincerely apologize to my die hard followers out there. Know that it is coming, albeit slowly.

I keep shouting Compromise or combine ideas Your inaction is surprising There is a sickness in my soul That all we do is argue Surely we can all agree There's something better we can do I don't care about your politics I don't care about your pride I care about the children And the sickness we have inside
