David is extraordinarily talented at building a platform and has the scars to prove it.
You can find the full audio on Podbean, but itās also on YouTube (for all you visual peeps out there).

The Writerās Lens ā E47: How Do We (Not) Handle Criticism AndĀ Feedback?
As a writer, I tend to handle criticism and feedback quite well. Nothing ever gets to me. Thereās no negative press I canāt manage; no scathing review I canāt brush off as nothing more than white noiseā¦
ā¦or I could just be lying to myself.Ā
If youāve ever written a story ā especially something you feel strongly about ā and had someone give you a negative reaction, youāve probably felt like me:ā¦

The Writerās Lens ā Interview 12: David Ramos, The Long Road ToĀ Authorship
David Ramos has been writing for years. Heās published nearly two dozen books (thus far) and for his efforts, has built a small community of readers around him. He even has a new book on the way,Ā Magnetic Faith, due out in March of 2019.
But, David didnāt just āfall intoā publication. He sat down and made it happen. He learned what worked; he learned whatĀ didnātĀ work. And letās be honest, heāsā¦

The Writerās Lens ā Interview 11: Loren Reash-Henz, āDoes Music Tell Stories? And How Do We ValueĀ Art?ā
Does music tell a story? This was a question I posed as the primer for my next interview with fellow creative, poet, and voice teacher, Mr. Loren Reash-Henz.
Loren Reash-Henz
Loren and I connected at a book signing last year and as Iāve come to find out, Loren has a real penchant for all things music āĀ teaching, theory, its roots, and its expression. In this conversation, Loren and I sit down toā¦

When it comes to using the term, ācreativeā, Iām still a newbie. I happen to think Iām creative (Iām a writer, after all) so tying creative and writer together isnāt a problem. When it comes to other creative types, I ā like many others ā tend to recognize someone for a single gift: making a craft, making music, writing, etc. These all make up the ācreativeā part of our persona. But is that allā¦

Itās hard to believe 2018 has already come and gone. So with 2019 here, itās time to do that age-old favorite: make a confession.
Wait, you mean resolutions, right? Well, not really.
Whenever a new year comes around, we are quick to make lists of what we want to change in the year ahead. We make big ā and small ā life-altering goals that we hope and pray will come to fruition in the year ahead.ā¦

I told you about The Color of Soul, and now Iām telling you about another short story of mine: The Scientistās Dilemma.
An oldie but a goodie, The Scientistās Dilemmaholds a special place in my heart as it represents two things about my writing life: 1) my transition from publishing non-fiction to fiction. And 2) my transition from being a lukewarm, skeptical believer to an actual believer in Godā¦

The Lord of the Rings is a fantasy tale that has inspired millions. Its story of good versus evil transcends generations. And it uses rather unconventional forms to do it: with fictional beings like hobbits, dwarves, and elves.
But there are men and women in this fantasy too. And orcs. And goblins. And trees that talk and walk. Andā¦racism? Waitā¦what?
