Finding Purpose...

Bestselling author Ric Warren made a fortune and created a subculture of Purpose-Driven Life clones. I like the book. I taught the book. It is so popular that it continues to show up in various forms years after it was released. This book was a key plot when Ashley Nichols, held captive by Brian Nichols after he went on a killing spree in a Fulton County Court house, read from her bookmarked copy of The Purpose Driven Life. Smith used the book to convince Nichols that his purpose now was in prison. Warren repackaged and then unpacked this age-old message of finding your purpose on earth - it' a good book with a great message.

I believe as a writer, you have a purpose. You have a book, an article, a dissertation in your heart and head swimming around looking for a way to surface. How to get those words on a page is simple word mechanics, but unleashing that which is within requires heart surgery.

This blog is not intended for professional advice on how to get your book published - that is the easy part. This writer is not a motivational speaker, selling you another way to get that book on the market and make lots of money. The purpose of this blog is to share my journey, as a freelance writer and semi-published author(I will explain that later), with the purpose of encouraging you to answer the title, "What's the Point?"
