The incredible brain maps on this site were compiled over six years of full-time research by a space shuttle guidance system engineer and software developer and were not funded by any company, religion or scientific organization. The training I received from my past experience has prepared me for this work and provided me with the insight to search for things that an engineer with my background would expect to find. I talk about the events and discoveries that led to the start of this project in the section below. It was an amazing and humbling experience to anticipate the electronics that an engineer would expect to find were right where I thought they would be. My engineering and software coding background helped me to "reverse engineer" my way through the brain. For instance,we have a spinal track that controls our visual reflexes and fires when an object moves quickly into our view (as proven in rat and monkey experiments). From an engineering perspective, the only way this system could work is if the eye contained a motion sensing circuit. So I googled "motion sensing eye" and to my amazement there was all the research I needed. It works just as an engineer would have designed it. Here is an article that was published a few years after I had already reverse engineered this region's main purpose.

How to Stay Motivated as a Writer Kicking off this 5 part series is our first blog post, staying motivated as a writer. We will look at things that motivate and ways to create realistic goals.

Part 1 of the Writer Motivation Series

We all know how it starts. A brilliant idea pops into your head and you get the urge to write. Your inspired pen flies all over the page until the next day when you sit down to write and you get nothing. You start questioning if the story was really any good. Coming up with anything feels like pulling teeth so how can you keep writing it? 

Or perhaps…
