"The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name." Aldous Huxley

"I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top."
An English Professor, Ohio University

Guess what! gzusfreek is not my name. Oh you knew that? Ok. Well, I'll get to the point. I've been thinking of looking for a pen name. This is something I have thought I'd never want/need, but at this time I desire one.

I used to use the name Kate Jordan when I worked for the airline. I used it for phone and mail correspondence. We had a customer base worldwide and they suggested it to keep you safe. I don't know if I like Kate Jordan. But who would I be?

One family genealogy, on my mother's side, shows a distant relation to Mark Twain. Should I use Che Clemens? What about Jeannetta Twain? Those don’t sound very mysterious or inviting. But how about initials: SK Clemens, RJ Twain?

That same genealogy showed distant relation to Mary, Queen of Scots. So, how about Mary Scots? Or MQ Scotts? I think I like Kate Jordan better.

I really like the names: Jessica, Jordin, Jordyce, Jaydin, and Angelica. Can we fit all these in? Actually I like Aldous Huxley but it's taken. . . his quote is above.

Well, I know this probably sounds silly. It’s 10:00 at night and I am sitting here with the flu just thinking and thinking. But I would invite any input you would be willing to humor me with!

My technique when writing poetry, I would like to compare it to Jackson Pollack and his drip technique of abstract painting. gzusfreek

Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

Insomnia
It’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m
Wallpapering with bread bags
Watching movies upside down
Look what I just found.
It’s 4:00 in the morning and I’m
Lying on beads
Nothing too deep,
Just trying to sleep.

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis

The room
This place in reality did not yet exist
At night it would visit the realms of my boundless mind
I would gaze upon it somewhere between visions and consciousness
Then give in like suicide on the edge of a cliff. . .jumping, and dream
Confused in the wake of this mask, captive behind the bars
It lays there, this empty room -- cold and borderless
Apprehension snatched at my thoughts like arm
The light at the end of the tunnel –Is it You?
The resolution has to bring my revolution
Let go of the old tricks and tapes
Over and over this melody of insanity
You rescued me from Egypt, now, let Egypt leave me
"Zacchaeus," you call, “Come forth.”
And I understand. . .
I stand here in the dark holding the Key.

The recent sermon series where I meet with the Church is “His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” I cannot begin to portray in a blog what the Holy Spirit is stirring up over this series. I just hope to give you a taste. If you want the complete sermons, let me know.

Did you know that on New Years Eve, 1999, the country of Uganda dedicated their country to God, to Jesus Christ, for the next 1,000 years? Women with AIDS have been cured, no drugs or medical wonders, CURED! In that war torn part of the world, all violence has left the area!

I wonder what it would be like to live in country that believed that God was its primary leader. Yes, that all decisions and laws and battle plans were run by God’s word first! (I do not identify with any party)

The Inuit (Eskimo) in Northern Canada turned their community over to the Lord Jesus Christ. They have scripture on legal documents and humble prayer before government meetings. They banned Satan from their lands, in Jesus name! Alcoholism and teen suicide have almost vanished and fish and game have returned to their area.

I don’t know who would make a better president. Seems to me both have brilliant ideas and downfalls! I put my vote in with my hand, but I put the election in God’s hands!

Many of us Christians are fasting and praying for our country this week. It crosses denominational lines and is infusing every medium. This brings me hope! No matter who gets to sit in the oval office, Christians everywhere are unifying!

“Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,"

After much prayer and petition, vote your vote tomorrow, but more than that lets thank the Lord Jesus Christ He is showing the world about Christian love and unity here in the United States!

On this journey, am I running in circles?

Hello all you writers out there that visit my blog; I have a question. Okay, so there are only two writers that visit my blog. Okay, okay, so there are only two people that visit my blog, and they both happen to be writers. I still have a question. When you are writing your first draft, do you get input before you are finished? I mean, it’s a new idea for a novel, prose, short story, and you sit down to write, do you wait until you are totally finished before letting someone read it?

Another question: If you do let others read your creation as it is progressing, when you get advice, do you stop and change/edit/clean up the parts that have been critiqued? Or do you continue forging ahead and return to those parts later?

I seem to be doing a lot of rewriting on the first 2-5 portions of my journey I’m calling “a novel” and I don’t even know if the story will work after chapter 10. . .maybe one never knows.

Thank you for any input!
