Gospel of the Wordsmith

<p>Libraries Newsstands and Bookstores (physical and virtual) are places of worship for the wordsmith.</p><p>Legal pads and fountain pens notepads and ballpoint pens and note apps on your phone are the instruments used by the wordsmith.</p><p>Sitting in a coffee shop walking the dog standing in line sitting at the bus stop walking around a shopping mall hiding (in a supply closet a bathroom or laundry room) are places where the gospel of the wordsmith is written.</p><p>Coffee tea or alcohol are the beverages where thoughts swim for the wordsmith.</p><p>Everything can be a distraction for the wordsmith but nothing else can truly hold the rapt attention of the wordsmith.</p><p>With reverence hope resolve and determination we come to the altar of the blank page and write our offering.</p><p>We bask in the belief of our Muse and the exaltation that our words please the audience.</p><p>When we leave we must have confidence that our form of prayer will reach far and wide so long as we share the Gospel of the Wordsmith.</p>
