Indian Island- From My Daughter
Apparently the writing bug can affect a family, not just individuals. My daughter has been very busy creating journals of different stories that she carries around with her wherever she goes.

I have specific deadlines for myself, and I do not like to miss dadlines. Of course the … Continue reading Entering the World of Self-Doubt

I have another woman I meet with regularly to discuss our book projects, and after telling her … Continue reading Update on Writing Goal
Writing to Become a New Person
This post will be somewhat very personal. This is about why I am a writer. It is also about something I learned about myself and my writing this past Sunday during church services. Actually, this is something I have been learning for a little while, but it finally hit home after leaving services Sunday night. … Continue reading Writing to Become a New Person
