Joe Vojt is a life long Connecticut resident who began writing at an early age in spite of the many obstacles that challenged his writing processes. He joined the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era. His background includes serving four years in the United States Air Force with three years SAC experience. “There is nothing that can replace our freedom.” After his time in the service, he selected a career in manufacturing and got involved by putting his heart and soul into learning. This required determination and persistence. Working hard to become successful required having an educational background.

Writing Interest. My interests cover a broad stroke: writing, reading, photography, the sciences, history and music. The psychology of working with people creates opportunity for lifestyle embellishments in the world of fiction that includes many forms, science fiction, and mystery are but an example. At the same time, this allows the resource of the mind to look beyond the stars for tomorrow’s future. There are no limits, be it above earth or below the sky and even underneath the blue waters. Drawing from history, photography, music, or even the sciences guide the interests that become captivating. This moves the person into that facade. Current events turn into history that guides the future by allowing the thought process to move into the next stage. Creating concepts of what the mind’s eye sees is what a writer’s life replicates. Every stop, every thought, leads the intellect to continue. Technology with imagination completes the cycle of a writer; this evaluation has grown through many years of put words into a deep desire. Writing is never a lonely art form if you allow it to enchant what your perception offers. My rules in the creative process have increased through time similar to vintage wine. There a good years and there are acceptable years, but the strength is always moving forward. This never stops until there is no path of air running through the body and spirit. With life experiences, began the creativity of the psyche. Love what you create and it will love you back. That is essential. Drawing from infrared technology, satellite, space travel adds the far-reaching concepts of where the mind leads. Success can’t be the only measurement in acceptance of a publisher or a.k.a. agent. Accomplishment has meaning that comes from the heart and soul of an inner most drive to release what only you the writer can accomplish freely and with emotion. This creates the variety of who we are and how we feel about our freedom. We never should allow others to crush a dream. Favorite Authors that I have read and continue reading.
