In Volume 4 of the Indie Musician's Diary I write about how and why music creation had to take a one year breather as I started to write the book that explains my first album, (The Change My Mind book). My planned, second album, "Abide", was put on hold as I went through therapy and I had to increasingly be involved in the care of my aging in-laws. These frustrations are part and parcel of being human and of being a musician. It is a side most people don't talk much about in a world where we are encouraged to build a brand and impress others by our successes. But I tell you like it is. As always, The Diary was written sporadically but honestly about the ups and downs of creating faith based music. I hope my words encourage you to keep following your dreams especially in the face of problems, setbacks and others' crude reactions to you just trying to be the creative you that you were born with.

Infinite Love: A Diary of Remembrance
Content warning: There are sections of writing in this book which contain references to suicidal ideation, self-harm, hallucinations and delusions both psychotic and neurotic. The writing within this book is the direct writing from my day-to-day diary that had been kept from 6 January, 2020 until May 24, 2020. Serendipitously, I was in the middle of a great struggle when I first began writing in it, and it eventually became too much to bear. There was inevitably a so-called awakening, which gave me the very simple knowing of who I am (and who you are) and which allowed me to deepen within myself through this knowing. It was a stillness that was such an obvious thing in my existence that it had always been subconsciously overlooked as unimportant. It isn't satisfying to the mind to just be, but it is infinitely satisfying to the being to just be. Nothing is missing and nothing needs to be found. This is the simplicity of the still, non-phenomenal being which is in fact yourself and myself, as one Self. This book is something which came out of that stillness, and held within it is an attempt to point towards whatever this is that I have discovered as myself. I do hope that you find it somewhat enjoyable and perhaps learn a thing or two about yourself. Thank you.Complete
Creator's Journal
Creator's Journal opens a window into the everyday rhythm of a writer's life - the quiet mornings, restless midnights, messy drafts, and those fleeting sparks that can set entire worlds ablaze on paper. This series isn't just about writing, but about living - the small joys, the unexpected challenges, and the way stories weave themselves into ordinary days. Inside, you'll find reflections, behind-the-scenes moments, and unfiltered confessions from a creative mind that's always learning, failing, laughing... and starting again. Ever wondered what goes on in a writer's mind between coffee sips and midnight edits? Here, I pull back the curtain on the moments that shape a creative life. You'll find fleeting sparks of inspiration, unexpected challenges, and the little things that remind us why we create in the first place. Whether you're a fellow writer, an artist in another form, or simply someone who loves peeking into a creative mind at work, welcome. ☕ Pour yourself a cup, settle in, and let's share this journey-one page at a time. 📖 Comment your thoughts and tell me: When do your best ideas find you-morning or midnight?
Four x reader (Divergent)
{BOOK ONE} There are five factions. Each had their own reasoning for thinking why the war had happened. Dauntless; cowardice and fear. They strive to be brave, fearless. Erudite; ignorance. They strive for intellect, to be smart and curious. Candor; deception. They strive to be honest. Amity; they blamed the war itself along with fighting. They strive to be kind, forgiving, peaceful. Abnegation; selfishness. So they strive to be selfless. Dauntless are our police. Erudite are our teachers. Candor is the law. Amity are the farmers. And Abnegation are our government. I would sit on the ground everyday, wearing my yellow dress with black sandals. Wasn't the best thing for me. Dresses made my shoulders to broad, especially the flowing ones. When I was home alone, or with my mother, I would wear I tight black shirt and white shorts. No one would really approve, mostly because they were Candor colours along with the fact it's not... welcoming enough. I never understood Amity, not because of the kindness and the peacefulness; well, mostly the peacefulness. Whenever it should come down to defending ourselves or walking away. We walked away. It confused me. Maybe I wasn't Amity enough to understand. Maybe I wasn't kind enough. Maybe, just maybe, I didn't belong here. So where do I belong? A/N : First chapter is a little sketchy but that is the case with all of my books. I promise it does get a lot better afterwards Start: Feb 06 2021 End: Dec 15 2021Complete
STORM--》FOUR | DIVERGENT
The five factions. Amity, the peaceful. Erudite, the intelligent. Candor, the honest. Abnegation, the selfless. Dauntless, the brave. Cecelia Parker was from amity, but she didn't quite fit there. She wasn't the kindest girl like she was supposed to be. Her mother being factionless and her dad being drunk twenty-four seven certainly doesn't help her situation. When every teenager turns sixteen, they take a test. The aptitude test. Then they must make a decision that will change their lives. When the aptitude test brings up more questions for Cecelia, or now Celia, what path will she choose? Will she make or break her life? What happens when she catches the eye of her instructor and his enemy? (Fourxoc) (I own nothing except my characters and plot lines.

Cap'n iZak Löw and His First Mate Zeni Corvera in the Reflective Auto Geneses
This is the Prequel to an epic novel series we are working on, lyrics and poem and psalms explaining the psychology bewixt the Mystic Artist and my Muse and Bride, Two Spirits who walk the Veil Between Worlds. Here we do our best to use world religions, history, ancient mysticism, our own poetry and "Wordsmything" and divining, astrology, psychological and neurological journey to discovering our sharing one body, and the beginning of our mind's organic introspective geneses of mythologies and prophecies surrounding both our inner microcosm, the Mirrored Cosmos, and the outer macrocosm, the Unreflected Cosmos-anchoring it to our own spiritual beliefs as Ashkenazi Kabbalist and Spanish Catholic Mystic. Zeniyah was murdered five miles west of my home at five years old when I was only one. Our mothers were the same age, same look and build, both alone for long periods of time, and fate had it that I survived instead of the girl who grew up alongside me as my guardian and wife. Obviously, our names are not the same as our past incarnations before we were reborn and married unto each other, both to protect our families and to underline the fact that since uniting as one flesh, we are not the same as we once were. Now, we recognise our beliefs are diverse and likely controversial to the wider world, which is why we wanted to publish them here first. We anchored ourselves to one another at the end of the Mayan Calendar, started awakening as Aquarian Ascendants when the Star of David reached its zenith in 2020, when the Age of Aquarius began. Any collaborative responses with respect and not harsh criticism are welcome, as we are trying to understand ourselves and how to approach telling our story as respectful to all beliefs as possible, to help others as much as us to grow and accept ourselves. The land where we grew up, which violent abuse is forcing us to leave, was originally Seminole land before ancestors of modern Anglo-Saxons here forced these tribes to leave as well.

NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL TO EYES ON US STORY! PLEASE READ BOOK ONE FIRST BEFORE READING THIS ONE. STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗡 𝗨𝗦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021Complete![Her Candor [1] //Divergent// Eric Coulter](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/119289189-256-k427502.jpg)
