Summary
Are we just as boneheaded as the characters we critique? Can a made-up story reveal the truth about who we are? R.L. Akers ( Overtwixt , Gray Gaynes series) shares his journey from computer programmer to storyteller, revealing why he believes creativity is not just for "artists" but is a calling for everyone made in the image of God. From the discipline of treating creativity like a job to the challenge of forgiving "boneheaded" mistakes, we chart a course toward a life lived for more than just yourself. Connect with R. L.
