Why I Write
 When I write, I draw on my experiences as a woman with a painful past, a rapturous wife and mother, a world traveler, and a spiritualist. For me, writing is an art form. Like an artist, the work becomes more than I imagined it would be. When I set out to write a story with a particular idea or character in mind, words I cannot claim as my own flow from a magical and mysterious place through me and onto paper. The work takes on a life of its own; it is living art. The process fascinates me, satiates me, and makes my life more meaningful.

Short Stories - 2008  2008 was a big year for me. Writing.com became my home away from home and I developed a regular writing practice. This was the year I began calling myself a writer. I entered a lot of WDC writing contests, took classes at the A-1 Writing Academy and began teaching at the New Horizons Writing Academy. When I read through the stories in this folder, I realize how much I learned as I wrote them, and how much I've learned since. It is an ongoing process, and I welcome your feedback so that I continue to grow in my craft. Thanks in advance!  Enjoy!! Portfolio -> Short Stories ~ My first (writing) love -> Short Stories - 2008 |
