My intentions with this blog are simple, to try to help as many people as I can with the thoughts that threaten to make my brain explode. There are so many people out there struggling with life and there are so many creators (artists, writers, crafters, painters, musicians) who lose their way because they lose sight of the simple and basic reason why they create.

I hope to shed some light on the unknown darkness that comes with being a writer based upon my experiences in life.  The conclusions I’ve made are drawn from years of depression and doubt and are applicable to anyone who creates things from their imagination, not just writers. The end result is that I’ve found a way to justify my life and my fears in a way that makes sense to myself, and hopefully will help some of you to realise your gift as just that.

Tortured writers aren’t a cliche, there is a reason why so many who have come before us have struggled through life.

It’s the eternal fight to help mankind understand. Understand that the world isn’t as scary as they are led to believe. The hardest hurdle that any writer will have to overcome is losing hope that what they write will affect anyone, and that’s what I’m going to try to tackle in this blog.

Hope is enduring, belief in your writing stems from that hope. Believe that your writing can make a difference.
