Moving a scene in my prequel made all the difference
As I write this, I had a great day improving the draft I have a prequel to the Herezoth trilogy. It’s a redemption story. I love it so much! I think I love it as much as any of my other stories. It’s the first novel I’ve written since The Crimson League: The Fight for…

Temperament series: the melancholic
Time to wrap up our temperament series today with what happens to be my temperament! Yep, I’m an introverted, sensitive, cerebral melancholic. Melancholics react slowly to stimuli. (I’m famous among friends and family for my delayed reactions. I need time to process things). However, these reactions grow stronger over time. POSITIVES Melancholics are great planners,…

Thankful Thursday: grateful for refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers
When was the last time you considered what a blessing our basic large appliances are? I have never known life without them. I can’t imagine the time it must have taken in the old days just to do laundry! I know that here in Louisiana, Monday is still “red beans and rice day” for that…

Temperament series: the choleric
Today, we’re going to consider the go-getter choleric! Like sanguines, cholerics are extraverts. They have strong, quick, lasting reactions to external stimuli, and they are intensely active. They get things DONE. Think of your classic C-suite type: intelligent, business-smart, bold, fearless, questioning boundaries and rules, never taking no for an answer. When a choleric sets…

Temperament series: the phlegmatic
Phlegmatics are such a gift! One of two kinds of introvert, phlegmatics are hard to rile up, possibly because they don’t process stimuli deeply or quickly. They are very “go with the flow,” willing and able to adapt, and they are not going to cause a ruckus at all. Everyone loves phlegmatics. They will do…

Temperament series: the sanguine
As part of my series on temperament (mainly to help fellow authors with character development), today we are going to give a brief examination of the lovable and jolly sanguine. Sanguines tend to respond very quickly to external stimuli, but their reactions fade quickly. POSITIVES Sanguines are extraverts–and the life of the party! They’re outgoing,…

Sunday Reflection: on forgiveness
Today’s readings at Mass are all about forgiveness and the mercy of God. Truly, the parable of the unforgiving servant is one of the most striking and unforgettable (I think) of any of Jesus’s parables. That parable issues a stark warning. It provides the same warning as the Our Father: “Forgive us our debts as…

The four temperaments series: an introduction
I’m fascinated with the idea of the four temperaments. I have been ever since I read “The Temperament God Gave You” by Art and Shirley Bennett years ago. (Highly recommend). The ancient world broke down human temperament into four basic patterns of action, reaction, and relating to the world. The ancients named the temperaments after…

On being faithful in the small things
It’s amazing how people (and fictional characters) show you who they really are. It’s human nature to assume that we can let little things slide and not hold ourselves to account for them–to tell ourselves that they don’t matter. We all do this, at least from time to time. The truth is, as I’ve heard…
