Writing

 If you develop a writing style that entertains you it might also entertain others.

My biggest problem was never ideas and ways to express those ideas but rather editing.

Some people say that writing is 20% of it and editing is 80% of it.

However, I have found writing to be actually 10% of it or less sometimes 1% of it and editing what you write somewhere between 90% to 99% of the time you have to spend if you want to publish what you write and make money from it.

However, money isn't what I needed starting when I almost died at age 50 from a heart virus and had to retire. Mostly what I needed then was to Thank God for keeping me alive at all because everyone else I knew of who had the type of heart virus I had died (at least in California). So, I the lone survivor that I knew of in California with this type of heart virus (that you usually get from getting your teeth cleaned and a particle of food gets into your blood stream and creates an infection in your heart which temporarily or permanently weakens your heart. In my case I lived long enough not to die from it but had to get used to passing out all the time from it without panicking even once. However, somehow I was able to accomplish this with a disconnection meditation I learned from Tibetan Lamas which worked in staying alive.

Basically, if you panic even once with this kind of virus while you are passing out you die.

So, writing for me (at least in 1999 online starting in June) was me thanking God for allowing me to go on living.

Also, I realized as I believed myself to be dying at STanford Hospital (on Stanford University Campus) in I believe it is Palo Alto that I was promising God that if I survived all this I would create a blog and sing God's praises.

Before believing I was dying I never would have done this in a million years. However, After God saved me with all the others I knew of dying I knew I needed people and God to know that God had Saved me and might save them too.

That was May 1999 when doctors told me I was going to live and not die. So, in June of 1999 I started a blog at geocities.com where I had to program the whole site myself. then in 2007 I started here at Blogspot (blogger.com) and I have been here ever since (as well as several other websites along the way too. However, I always liked the way this website works and that it goes worldwide and that it is free. So, I have mostly stayed here because I've grown used to the technology and the encoder so I don't have to program everything in HTML or HTML compatible computer languages.
