Are You Writing from Your Heart?
2018-06-19Writing & Self Publishing
Writing from Your Heart or Head, which is better? When teaching, I speak of two writing methods–The Art of Writing, which is writing from your heart; and The Craft of Writing, which is writing from your head.

Once you tell you story on paper (or computer) it is easy to clean it up. We can hire editors, copy editors, and proofreaders to smooth the rough edges. Most importantly, tell your story authentically with passion.

BALI HOUSE–Hilo, Hawaii
2018-06-27Vacation Rental Travel

While visiting far away places, many of us feel we must take in the local attractions as this may be our only chance to do so. The two-day flight to Hawaii, afforded me time to think. Reflecting on my life as an exotic journey, I became more aware of new perspectives.

I landed six hours into the future when I arrived at the Split Airport just minutes from Villa Papilio.
