Write On...

After all these years, I've learned a lot about writing, but not nearly as much as I want to learn. I'm an English major, and I've taken classes that taught me a lot, but until I reached College and started taking college level courses I didn't learn anything that was useful to me. This last semester I took Creative Writing. It was very useful to my writing, and I continue working on my writing. So, what I really want to say is never give up, keep learning, the more you learn the better you get, and the better you get the better your chances. So write on friends! Write on...

10 Books I Want to Read Before I'm 30

By Claire Enos In honor of being 24 and turning 25 this year, I decided to write a: "10 Books I Want to Read Before I'm 30" post. These are books that either I really want to read or that I've been told I should read. If you can think of any other books I should read, let me know!  The Princess Bride - This book made it onto this list because I don't like the movie. I know, that's a weird reason to put a book on my list. And, I know, that's crazy that I don't like The Princess Bride. The reason it's on my list is because my roommate says that the book is better than the movie, and knowing that to be true in most cases, I thought I'd give the book a try. I don't mind the story line after all, it's more about the videography.  Catcher in the Rye - This book is on my list because it's a classic and I never had to read it when I was in high school or even in any of my English classes. I thought I'd give it a try and see wh...

Beyond the Barrier [or] Brick Wall

By Claire Enos Past the hurtful words and the insincere remarks is someone hurting, deep inside. The hurtful words and insincere remarks just a barrier. A brick wall if you will, built to protect a broken heart, as it is repaired, painstakingly, over weeks, months, possibly years. And while the heart waits to be completely healed, by the loving touch of one who cares, it can only be taped up waiting for the repairman to show up and take charge. There are still cracks, but maybe-- just maybe-- the heart that has been broken can be repaired, with the hard work of the owner, and a lot of tape. Still, the cracks will show. Some of the heart crumbling from further blows, until it is fortified, not with a wall, but with a glue gun and magic. Slow, calculated magic, here and there, where needed. Until eventually, miraculously, all has been healed. Meanwhile, through the whole process, life has continued on. And the owner, not able to spend every moment working on the heart, must conti...

Something About Me Few People Know #1

There's this infatuation I have with cultures and beliefs. I don't know what it is about them, but they fascinate me. It's not that my faith in my religion is shaken at all, but I just love learning about other cultures and belief systems. I love finding the truths in them. I know it may seem counter productive to some, but I love being able to spot what truths other religions and belief systems contain and putting them to good use in my own life. Because of this, if you ever see me do something strange, that is why. I'm testing out something that other religions and belief systems do that I found interesting. One specific religion I love studying is Wicca. I've confessed to a few friends, and now I'm confessing to the rest of you, that if I weren't already a devout Mormon, I'd probably have been Wiccan. They share many of the same beliefs I do. They worship nature. There are a few flaws in their religion, but other than that it is a very good belief s...
