My 2018 had some ups and downs, I had a change in my personal life, I published two books and republished one and updated another. I’ve had a crazy busy year. However, 2019 is better, because it’s a new year and leads to new beginnings. I am working on two different projects which I hope … Read more
Don’t rush the creative process!
This is so true, I’ve had an idea for a story based on an image that got stuck in my head for days, but the first attempt went South, because I didn’t like where the story was going. I dumped the first story and tried again. Now I just got to pull myself together and … Read more

I find that words have power as well. I’ve loved creative writing, since I was a fourth grader. When I was in either  the fifth or sixth grade, I won second place in a creative writing contest. I’ve dabbled in creative writing in high school, but the thing that made me want to be a writer was the introduction to New Stories of the South 2001, edited by Lee Smith. I won’t go into the details here, but I encourage you to read the book to see how she can inspire people to write their own stories.
Thanks, Kaz for such an inspiring post.

Personally I like WordPress better than facebook, because when you upgrade to the premium plan with WordPress, you can have a domain that is yours, which you can’t do with Facebook. I also like that my posts can be seen and shared for a long time on wordpress and I can choose which posts to pin to the front page, whereas they get shuffled to the bottom of the moshpit on facebook. Please read the original post to continue the conversation with the author.
Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing.

If you want to get your work into the hands of readers, here’s a fabulous way to do it. I am in the process of creating my interview now, but it’s sometimes hard to decide which questions I really want to answer.
