Writing breathes life into my soul through…
Blogging
I’ve been blogging since 2007 when I shared my journey to parenthood and educating my young children. In 2020 I shared about our life in the pandemic, then in 2021 moved into my struggle with social anxiety. It’s been an outlet for the driving need in me to share my words and connect with others like me.
Challenges
I work best with the deadline and concrete goals that writing challenges provide. I’ve participated in NYC Midnight challenges, NaNoWriMo, and others. Maybe it’s the ADHD in me, but I work well with outside pressure. Giving myself a deadline rarely helps. But impose one on me and I will meet it every time.
Fiction
Characters reach out to me, compelling me to write their stories. I never know what will happen until my fingers start typing. In 2023 I co-wrote a short story for an anthology of gothic romance. Hopefully it won’t be the last of my published works.
