Read voraciously.

Picture
All authors write because they are inspired by something they have read before. I wrote my first novel at 12 because of Brian Jacques’ thrilling and active Redwall series. I wrote my first trilogy because of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. I wrote my sci-fi novel The Memory (projected publication: 2015) because of C. S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy and Lloyd Alexander’s Westmark Series, and probably a few more books. Every book is an opportunity. You see possibilities in writing style, content, plot, and characters that you never saw before. The more you read, the more material you’ll have from which to write.

The Despised Word

The Biblical book of Genesis recounts the story of the Tower of Babel. The Lord had specifically told the people to scatter over the land and cultivate it. Instead, the people began to build a mighty tower—a symbol of man’s defiance against God, a physical manifestation of their intention to be their own gods. In response, God confused their language so that they could not understand one another and had to abandon their project. Ever since that day, humans have struggled to understand one another.
