Chapter 1 Page 2 As I open the garage door I can’t help but to expect her standing there in the kitchen, but she’s not. I pause for a second after I shut the door to see if I hear any movement. My stomach feels full. The beer is starting to kick in. There’s a … Continue reading Recovered (Page 2)

How to Choose!
I started writing my book and it didn’t take long before I felt overwhelmed. I love being creative. In all my 38 years I’ve never had a creative outlet I really loved before now. I only had my job. I was a builder…. I built buildings. I was good at my job because I’m a … Continue reading How to Choose!
Recovered (Rough Draft)
Chapter 1 The End was the Beginning Page 1 It’s 3 a.m. and I’m shivering. Half of my body is sweating and the blankets on the bed have lost my heat. My mind is racing. I can’t hold a thought for more than a few seconds. My eyes can’t decide if they want to be … Continue reading Recovered (Rough Draft)
I’m Not A Writer

Milking My Creativity
This week I moved my creative office to my Uncle Rory’s milk barn…. Where his creative office is! Doesn’t sound like much but it’s a big deal to me. He’s a creator, a writer and a film maker.... like I want to be. I know some of you may be saying, “But Mikel, you’re already … Continue reading Milking My Creativity
Using Dreams
Have you ever had a dream so real you couldn’t tell the difference, and it would linger in your day way longer than any other dreams? Maybe even weeks or months, heck years! That happens to me when I have dreams of drinking again. They are called using dreams. It’s a dream where you’re using … Continue reading Using Dreams
Pray for US!
My prayer life sucks! Or maybe my definition of a prayer life sucks. I talk to God all the time. But not so much in prayer. To me the definition of prayer life is something like…. Someone kneeling next to their bed praying every night. Praying before every meal. Not just getting up early and … Continue reading Pray for US!
