Pete Carroll and 5 Writing Lessons

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On April 25, 2015
  • 0 Comments
Pete Carroll as a Coach of writers or supplier of 5 writing lessons is not well known. For good reason because football coaches don’t teach others how to write, they teach others how to play football. And yet Carroll’s coaching philosophy, one which landed him and the Seattle Seahawks into two successive Super Bowls, is […]

The Corporate Nature of Prayer

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On April 11, 2015
  • 0 Comments
Of  late, I’ve been thinking about the corporate nature of prayer. It’s a formal phrase and is misleading because corporate implies big business in these days of mega-corporations; despite the shortcomings, the phrase is fitting. In this context, I speak about the origin of the word, corpartus or ‘to form into a body’ and am […]

It’s been a week since I saw McFarland, USA but still within the first five minutes of talking with friends, I find myself exhorting him or her to see this movie. The film is an allegory for our lives, here is why:

Trust and Faith-Aren’t They The Same Thing?

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On March 13, 2015
  • 0 Comments
Can we have trust in a person, event or object without faith? These two concepts are most commonly used in the religious context when we are speaking, thinking and writing about them; almost always we do so with a great attention to the ‘mystery’ of trust or the ‘blindness’ of faith. And yet, each day, […]

Why Should I Listen to You Again?

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On February 8, 2015
  • 0 Comments
“Why should I listen to you?” was a rhetorical question asked and answered a few decades ago when I decided to stop watching the news. Initially, my reason was a simple one. I lived alone with my first Doberman  during the time of a series of home invasions in my own and surrounding neighborhoods. The […]

Discipline and Habit Equal Happiness

During an interview about the essentials of health and happiness, the reporter was surprised when I added work to my list. We were nearing the end of the time allotted for the interview, therefore I did not have time to elaborate about the many reasons I chose to add work to my list of healthy habits […]

Health is Boring

“Health is boring, disease is sexy.” I was talking to a CNN producer who was ‘vetting’ me to see if I’d be good fodder for a weekend interview. I’m a writer. Like most other writers, I want people to read what I write. Like most of us, I write about what interests me, often using […]

Mindfulness and Anger

  • Posted by Lin Wilder

  • 0 Comments
Anger: enmity, ire, irritation, rage…we all experience anger but for many of us, the detritus of the emotion piles up over minutes, days, weeks and years and then what? We need only to think about the week that has just ended for some examples where a comment, a person, or a conversation evoked an angry […]

Don’t Need Church To Pray?

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On January 16, 2015
  • 0 Comments
Of course we don’t need to be in a church to pray, ‘I pray while I am hiking’, ‘while walking in the forest’, ‘while fishing’; I have heard many statements like these, in the past I would nod somewhat uncomfortably; not infrequently, I felt the comments were said as if to ward off contagion from […]

Communion in Diversity

  • Posted by Lin Wilder
  • On December 4, 2014
  • 2 Comments
Communion in diversity, legitimate diversity, is the phrase Pope Francis used in the Joint Declaration created by Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras at their joint meeting in Jerusalem last week, to describe the “unity to which only the Holy Spirit can lead us, that of communion in legitimate diversity,” reminiscent of John’s Gospel: That they […]

About Lin Wilder

I, Claudia was a winner in the IAN Best Books of 2019;
A finalist in the literary/general fiction category. Claudia has now won four awards. But Malthus Revisited keeps winning them. At eight awards, Malthus is the leader, by far.

Finally, I am closing in on My Name is Saul. The first iteration of the book will be done shortly.

Saul is complex, multifaceted and riddled with contradictions. Much of his story has been surprising-even shocking- as I have written it. And that term “written” assumes control. It is, after all, an active verb. But the truth is that the writer serves as a conduit. Cypher.

Weird, I know but accurate.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
