Excerpt of Jonathan Welter
(Disclaimer: May offend some individuals who are vulnerable to explicit subject matter.) OH MY GOD, I thought while I was reading the local newspaper—and yes—I was one of the only people in the universe who actually read these papers in the daily news; I should probably keep myself up to date through social media, but…

The Invisible Lantern
Where did the lantern go? I think I dropped it over the cliff. There was no pattern to my steps. I zig-zagged across the mist. ] I am an intelligentsia My eyes—for now—were my lantern But I don’t have knowledge, Of the real, sacred lantern. ] In my soul is the real magic But where…

Skill Beats Luck
Surely, there must be a reason for this. The spaghetti monster grabbed the lever of faith. Pay my houses and hotels, my sleepers awake. “Life happens people!” the housemaid said. A wind can tip the hat. Tsunamis may come. But when the time ticks, Don’t rely on a dice to hurdle a jump. Failed? Get…

Where Do Ideas Come from and How to Become Authentic?
This is a very common question that writers face, but many can’t answer it. Creativity is an interesting force. There isn’t a tangible input that is driving it–it just . . . comes out. For me, the very first idea of this gargantuan project came from the sight of a homeless man who was pushing…
