#Author #Interviews: #indie #writer @pjlazos discusses #writing & #family, caring for the #environment, & finding the right #writingcommunity

Good morning everyone in the blogosphere. Today I am sharing an interview with one of our own wordpress community. To P.J. Lazos, owner of the site Green Life Blue Water, I really enjoyed this interview and I hope others who read it will check out your work as well.

I also found journaling to be therapeutic for me after suffering emotional abuse twice. I also think music is a great source of healing, and combining it with keeping a journal can help you get rid of the painful goop in your head and clear your mind for more creativity. Now, I find that my journal also surves as a dumping ground for scenes that I need to take out of my novels in progress.

Please read the post linked here and give it a like and a share or two. If you have a comment, please leave it on the author’s blog.

Blessings to you all and happy reading and writing.
