"Fallible"

"F al lible" You walk down a road and find a diamond on the ground, you pick up the gem to examine what you have found.  You notice that it is blurry, smudged, and has a chip in the crown.  Would you discard your discovery because it was not perfect,  or would the value even with its flaws still be worth it. It is easy to write someone off because of the mistakes that they have made.  In a moment of meditation we can all find in our day, it is clear that we all are fallible in one shape or way.  Just because you are lost does not mean that you can never be found, and just because you have failed does not mean that you will never succeed.  If you look past the lies, selfishness, and greed  you will find the goodness in people with their faults like you and me.

"Writers Block"

"Writers Block" Rain explodes against the window of a top floor apartment in upper Manhattan. Pencils, balled up pieces of paper, and an ash try full of cigarette butts accompany a note pad full of blank pages. On the eastern wall of the complex a medium sized shelf is lined with books from the greatest horror novelists of all time. King, Stoker, Shelly, and even Poe. All the inspiration a writer would need. The lighting in apartment is dim from the gray skies that loom ominously outside the window, and the fading light b ul bs struggling to do their best to illuminate the one bedroom structure. It's a chilly and quiet October day, a type of day that has become all to familiar for Hunter Weston.  Since releasing his New York Times best selling thriller, "The Day the World Ended", Weston has been clawing and scratching to write his next great literary masterpiece. His last novel was released twelve years ago. Ever since his breakthrough into the upper
