Our PARENTS all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorthodox way. A huge emphasis was PLACED on creativity, and our ARTISTIC efforts were never dismissed as childish. There was a sense that we - kids and grown-ups - all had the potential to make SOMETHING of value. Our drawings were not simply destined for the refrigerator.

Foreseeing the NEEDS of His children, a loving Heavenly Father placed DIRECTIONS and rescuers along their way. He SENT His Son, JESUS Christ, to make SAFE passage possible and visible.

Normally, most writers don't say, 'I'm going into a mild hypnotic trance.' Typically, they don't know how they do it. Most people, when they have a GOOD EXPERIENCE writing, they're WELL PLACED in that state, which is also sometimes called a 'flow state.' If you don't have trouble, you don't have to think about it.

Out of the simple consonants of the alphabet and our eleven vowels and diphthongs all possible syllables of a CERTAIN sort were constructed, a vowel SOUND being PLACED between TWO consonants.

The mers were also DESIGNED to reproduce only at LONG intervals, in ORDER to maintain the natural balance of the ENVIRONMENT in which they were PLACED.

Showing up to games year after year, no MATTER what the product on the FIELD gives you back, is a LEARNED behavior - sort of like rats in a maze searching for cheese. The rat learns the maze, learns where the cheese is PLACED and eventually goes to it without thought, EVEN when the cheese is taken away. The rat doesn't know anything else.

Because a man is placed in charge of a club does not MAKE it necessary for him to be a taskmaster or a TYRANT. In my opinion, he OUGHT to be as lenient with his club as circumstances allow, and the less he interferes with the PERSONAL liberties of the men, the BETTER.

When you GET a song placed with two of the top stars in the world, LIKE RIHANNA and Eminem, especially as a new writer, they're gonna take a huge chunk of your publishing. That's just the way the business is. I'm not complaining.
