The Power

As lots of folks are figuring out lately, there is only one power. However you choose to interpret it, there’s only one. Everything came from it. Everything wants to move toward it. It gives you the power to create miracles. It gives you the power to surpass death. You really can’t write effectively without some connection to it.

I was raised Catholic, but never went to parochial school. I spent a couple years in an evangelical church. I’ve done some research into all the big religions and philosophies. It all seems like a twist on the same thing. I’m not really sure what the arguing is about. Sometimes I think folks just like to fight in order to alleviate boredom.

Years ago I wrote a book called Angel Interviews that was intended to decipher life after this. A few folks liked it, but apparently angel talk does not sell like hotcakes. I still hold onto the thought that if I can make some other stuff move, that book will catch fire. I think it does a fabulous job of showing a different side of future life. Without the true power flowing through me, I could not have written one sentence of that book.

I only write when the power is flowing through me. In fact, unlike most writers, I only write when I’m in the mood. I do not have a certain amount of pages or hours I try to hit each weekday. I do it as I feel. That’s because I have other things going on in my life, but wouldn’t you prefer three quality pages every other day instead of twenty pages of garbage?
