			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m incredibly excited to announce a new website that I’m working on.</p>
<p>I’ve been trying different websites and publishing ideas for probably the last four or five years now, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as pumped about a new idea as this one.</p>
<p><a href="http://reviveyourcreativity.com/"><img src="http://michaelwroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/revive-your-creativity-mwr.png" alt="Revive Your Creativity" title="Revive Your Creativity" width="190" height="275" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-74" /></a><strong>Revive Your Creativity</strong> is more than just a platform for me to write down my ideas. It’s meant to be a connecting point for a new community.</p>
<p>During my time working for churches and in several conversations that I’ve had over the years, I have heard people express the idea that they are not creative enough to pull off whatever artistic vision they have. It’s as if, somehow, that person could unlock some hidden chamber in his or her heart and then be able to live out some meaningful purpose.</p>
<p>Creativity becomes the mystical, overly-complicated ideal that we can never attain if we do not keep regularly practicing it.</p>
<p>You’ve probably heard before how we’re all creative as children but we lose momentum along the way. Part of that decrease in creativity is due to societal pressures and part of it is simply due to the fact that <strong>we stop exercising that “muscle” of creativity</strong>. Falling out of the habit of creativity leaves us feeling as though we’ll never be able to re-capture that freedom again.</p>
<p>Revive Your Creativity will specifically focus on helping individuals learn to practice again in the field of creative writing. Whether it’s fiction writing, screenwriting, writing comics or whatever, writing is a perfectly accessible way for anyone to re-kindle creative expression.</p>
<p>I’ll work to bring you resources on writing and creativity, but we’ll discuss it in terms of people learning to get back into regular practice. If you need expert discussion on the exact nuances of metaphors in historical fiction, then you’ll need to go to a different site. Revive Your Creativity is more focused on helping people unlock the creativity they didn’t know they possessed.</p>
<p>If any of this stirs anything in your creative heart, I invite you to check out the <a href="http://reviveyourcreativity.com/" title="Revive Your Creativity">new site about writing and creativity</a>. I’m really pouring myself into this one, and I honestly feel that it could be immensely helpful to people.</p>
<p>The official launch date for the site is February 28th, 2012. I hope to see you there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://darkheritage.com"><img src="http://michaelwroberts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/dark-heritage-mwr.jpg" alt="Dark Heritage webcomic" title="Dark Heritage webcomic" width="231" height="300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-70" /></a><strong>Dark Heritage</strong> is a horror webcomic that features twins who are either cursed or destined (depending on your point of view) to protect our planet from ancient evil. The readers&#8217; journey with these characters begins as the siblings must pursue a series of artifacts left behind by someone of great power. Some of these artifacts can be saved. Others must be destroyed immediately for the benefit of mankind.</p>
<p>Since comics are rather time consuming, we also have <strong>The Dark Heritage blog</strong>, which features everything from cool comics and art to (real-life) news of the supernatural and weird. We enjoy the discussion and invite you to be a part of it.</p>
<p>Keep on the lookout for future fiction stories to pop up in ebook format on the website and on Amazon! </p>
