Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

Oh! It has been often stated and said throughout all of recorded history that, "truth is stranger than fiction." Fiction is a by product produced in the overtly active minds of the writers of creative writing. But then again there are those of us who really have the very best of both worlds. Take myself for instance I am a fantasy fiction writer. And yet when I was a writer for the site of Helium, I wrote some pretty good poetry. What was by far my most popular genre? The answer was my mystery stories. Every I wrote for Helium is gone with the wind. However recording angels were faithfully recording them in the annals of heaven. I do not lament any longer any of my former writings. If you ask me why I will most certainly tell you. My very best creative writings years are yet still to come true. And I can really be totally truthful to you. It really has nothing at to do with yours truly. i can give one hundred percent credit to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has not only become my inspiration, but also my editor. I hope He has not given up on my spelling. Some of my former and current works were either fact or fiction. And sometimes a combination of the two. My mother comes from a long line of artists, but than I came alone and turned her into a writer. And I told my Uncle Glen," Yes! and I turned her into a very good one!" Mom once told me she drew just like me when she was a little girl. I never was going to be an artist, and I might as well just stick to my writing. I used to call the Care Crisis hot line and they recommended art work for therapy. She was the artist and not me! But she never had any time for art work. And I told I was just trying to help myself. She said fine just as long as she did not have to look at my artistic doodling! We had a deal! Recently I have not done any doodling. But mom has nothing at all to do with it. I am much too busy writing. Once I was told I had very min-able artist talent. When I asked my fellow student if I should take art course? I was told it would be a waste of time. I was told no matter how hard I practiced, I would never be really any good at it all! The only art work I could ever do was for enjoyment. I do have a certain basic type of artist talent, but it is not traditional art work. But traditional art work is the type I like the very best at all. That much mother and I did have in common after all! Love in Christ Jesus!
