The Privilege of Audience
By Patrick Rogers
Have you ever mused on the great privilege it is to have someone, anyone, read what you write? The written word is a gift to others when we craft our art using specific criteria. Here’s how!
The Second Coming of Christ: Stage One
By Joseph Macchio
Joseph is a student of the teachings of the ascended masters as delivered through Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet during their 40-year ministry in the late 20th century. His opinions and conclusions drawn from his research are his own.
The Second Coming of Christ: Stage Two
By Joseph Macchio
In a second dictation given on November 22, 1989, entitled “The Second Coming of Christ,” Jesus taught the understanding of the Divine Image. “O my souls, thou who art the mirror of the Divine Image of my Self and thy Christ Self for all the world, know, then, that all the world does see that Christ Image as at inner levels I touch everyone,” Jesus explained.
Using Quotation Marks Correctly
By The Summit University Team
Punctuation is our favorite topic, right? Well… maybe not. Nevertheless, we writers need to master the ins and outs of punctuation if we wish to master our craft. So, in the spirit of learning good punctuation, we’ll be examining punctuation puzzles over the course of our next few Writers’ Guild newsletters. And since punctuation in the English language is quite detailed, we are going to try to keep the subject as straightforward as possible by addressing one punctuation mark at a time.
Why Should I Care About Headline Writing?
By The Summit University Team
Writing interesting headlines is both an art and a science. Volumes have been written on this learnable skill. But why should I learn how to write headlines, you may ask. Well, do you send emails? Do you post anything on social media that you would like others to view or read? Do you ever write anything that you share with others? If your answer is yes to any of the above, knowing what makes up a good headline and what doesn’t is something you’ll appreciate today.

Creativity
By Justina Torres
Leonardo da Vinci once said “The Painter has the universe in his mind and hands.” How do we paint our own stories? It comes from a common thread we all have access to.
Your Authentic Voice
By Justina Torres
Regardless of what we are writing, we need to use our authentic voice. Our authentic voice is easier to incorporate in some writing genres than others, but it is an important ingredient in all types of writing.
Hermes Trismegistus
I speak of the lineage of the initiates of Mercury—those who have fashioned their skill by the sword and the pen, those who have acquainted themselves with the mind of God and have claimed that mind, who have come from a lineage that antedates myself. Truly, there is a lineage of those who have been called Hermes, the name being the title of an office. Thus, there is a descent of those whose craft has been to set forth in writing and in other forms of communication that which is Real, that which is unreal, that which is necessary information to the body politic round the world that they might know and understand the way to go….
There are those whom I myself have trained under my mantle as God Mercury. We who bear the shield and the armour of the Sun must therefore go up and down the nations of the earth and call out those who have the original communication skills, who practiced those skills in ancient times and on ancient continents and are willing to once again take the lead in the dissemination of the Truth and in exposing error. You must come forward! For the Truth must be made known….
