Almost 15 years go, I tried my hand at writing children\’s books. I wrote a very short story/poem about a child enjoying the rain. I loved it. No one else loved, but it didn\’t matter. I loved it.

The Plan … Best Laid of Course
The plan is to retype \”Bleak\”, so I have a digital copy to edit in the future. The bigger part of this plan is to reacquaint myself with this 5 year old story to chose my main characters for the 2015 NaNoWriMo starting November 1st. Great idea, but November 1st is getting closer every dayContinue reading “The Plan … Best Laid of Course”

I\’ve tabbed each location change with colored sticky-notes that will correspond to the colored note cards I have. I wantContinue reading “Breaking Down the Forest”
Sooooo… Now What? And other musings…
There are few people in my life that are supportive of my writing in a way that makes me feel accomplished. One of them is my best friend. I know I can talk to her about my story openly and she will tell me what sounds great, offer ideas or just listen. We were talkingContinue reading “Sooooo… Now What? And other musings…”
