One of my beta readers (a Brandon Sanderson fan) for WITHER, the sequel to BLOOM, just finished and left these notes: "Absolute cinema" "It's brutal, beautiful, and evokes Shakespearian themes" "well-written and realistic" "It was so good! You really stuck the landing on the…
Our mortal life is designed by a loving God to be a test and source of growth for each of us. Since the beginning, the tests have not been easy. We face trials that come from having mortal bodies. All of us live in a world where Satan’s war against truth and against our personal…
Thinking in non-time is difficult (impossible?) for mortals. God doesn't simply know us so well that He perfectly guesses our future actions. God's perfect knowledge of our future isn't based on predetermined outcomes. God has a perfect knowledge of our future actions because…
If you don't know @DavidJohnButler, you can't appreciate how difficult it is to hog-tie him. It took a lot of rope, but I'm looking forward to a fun interview with @ThePraxiologist! 😄
Today, @MatthewBockholt will interview J. W. Hagala (@ThePraxiologist) live from The @WritersCantina, with guest co-host, author and editor @DavidJohnButler. Tune in here on X at 3 PM Eastern/Noon Pacific!
For some reason, this comes up every Pioneer Day (Utah holiday), so I thought I'd just make a post so everyone knows this: You don't have to be related to someone to show gratitude for what they did. FYI: You can apply that to your lives generally, not just holidays.
Looking forward to the Writer's Cantina again this year. I'll be there Friday and Saturday, but will try to do the @PlotArmorOnline podcast from there if I can work it out!
I'll be at #WritersCantina this weekend, along with a bunch of awesome authors from near and far. If you're in the Wasatch front this weekend, you should consider coming! This is it's 3rd year, and it's always a great con with lots of info about writing and publishing. #amwriting
For anyone wondering what's going to happen with —insert latest bombshell revelations about how the Democrats cheated again here— let me help you out: x.com/MatthewBockhol…
REPS: I have the best hand, you can't win. DEMS: *cheat* REPS: Hey, you only won by cheating. But next round I have an even better hand. DEMS: *cheat* REPS: You won again by cheating, but wait til you see my hand for next round... DEMS: *eye roll* #TheyWinBecauseTheyCheat
Joseph Smith accomplished more than any mortal man could have accomplished in so short a time. During his 38 and a half years of life, Joseph Smith was a man of the frontier—young, emotional, dynamic, and so loved and approachable by the people that they often called him…
Ever worked at a big company and realized not everyone is good at their job? Now apply that to other professions. Doctors. Politicians. Cops. Teachers. Therapists. Lawyers. Etc. Etc. You don't have to trust someone just because they're a "professional". You're welcome.
Hello, writer friends! Today, I'm writing a painful chapter. I get emotionally overwhelmed by these because my characters feel real to me. It hurts me to see them hurt, yet I know what their journey needs. Do you feel for your characters when you give them trials?

Had a great time interviewing @BHolshouserUS! Thanks for your time, Brian, and hope the book signing goes well!

Welcome to the "Information Age". No one ever said what type of information. 🤷♂️
Most of it is just BS designed to confuse and mislead you. Most of the rest is barely adolescent boys shouting “Chicken Jockey!”
What if the famous guy died, then came back to life? Does he still count?
…Norm MacDonald.
If you haven't listened to my interview with @TheStarwald (Alexander Rob), yet, you should! Up next this Saturday is @BHolshouserUS, 3 PM Eastern, live on X, hosted by @PlotArmorOnline. Don't miss it! x.com/PlotArmorOnlin…
