I've just finished my second book. It is unrelated to my first but this one will be a duology. Book one is called Of Fire and Sand. When I finished it, I got a lot of questions about how I could write so much. Where did I come up with ideas? How did I find time? Well I'd like to answer these questions in this blog to help you get an understanding of my life and my writing.
How can I write so much? The answer is pain. Just this Sunday my beloved uncle passed away. It was sudden and unexpected to our family. Pain and sorrow are what motivates me to write. In writing I find hope, in writing I find joy, and in writing I find peace. I write to process life and keep my sanity. Without writing, I would be depressed and bottled up with emotion. Everyone has their thing that helps them process pain, mine is writing. Where do I come up with ideas? Ideas come from everything. Sometimes I'll have a dream, sometimes, I'll read a book, sometimes I'll experience life. But ultimately my ideas come from God. God orchestrates everything in my life and He always has the best book ideas. Every night from 9-10pm I lay awake and talk with Jesus. We'll plot through a story or invent some new world together. Sometimes we talk about stories sometimes we process the day together. How do I find time? You'll always find time to write if it's your passion. Passions are what fuels us to make time. You'll wake up earlier, you'll choose your passion over television, you'll set aside part of your day if you actually want to write. More than that, if you need to write. Once again, I write as my therapy. Some numb their mind with media, others throw clay or brush paint on canvas, I write. It's one of the best ways I know to process emotions and suffering. What's one way that you process with God?

AuthorI am a missionary. Currently studying at Bethany Global University. The ultimate God dream is to go to Mongolia. I believe God has called me to minister to the Mongolian nomads, they are the unreached people of our world. With over 3 million people in Mongolia, there are only around 70 churches. These churches are all in cities, thus leaving the nomads on their own. I am a missionary, this is my calling, and this is my story. Please Contact me to find out how to donate.Archives
