Gospel of the Wordsmith

Libraries newsstands and bookstores physical and virtual are places of worship for the wordsmith

Legal pads and fountain pens notepads and ballpoint pens the laptop and telephone these are the instruments used by the wordsmith

Sitting in a coffee shop walking the dog standing in line sitting at the bus stop walking around a shopping mall hiding out in a supply closet a bathroom or a laundry room these are some of the places where the gospel of the wordsmith are written

Coffee tea or alcohol these are the beverages where thoughts swim for the wordsmith

Everything can be a distraction for the wordsmith but nothing else can truly hold the rapt attention of the wordsmith

With reverence hope resolve and determination we come to the alter of the blank page and write our offering

We bask in the belief of our Muse and the exaltation that our words please the audience

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
