I'm back!

I'm back! I'm not sure how many of you missed me, but I have to admit I missed writing in my blog. I found other ways to write, ways that were more personal and could express my feeling of grief and pain, but now that I've had time to shed some of that weight I'm anxious to get back to the sense of normalcy that writing and sharing ideas with other writers/readers gave me.

And part of jumping back in has been to write another book. Just a tiny one...but it was just what I needed. I just finished up the edit for "Three Little Words," a romance compilation that I've shared with two other writers and that hopefully will come out the end of this year. It felt soooooooo good!

So no matter what stage of life you're in, whether you're writing proficiently or just for yourself, remember, you're always a writer and as a community, we're here for you!!!!!

This past few months have been difficult for me as far as my writing career is concerned. A close family member has become very ill and so I've been using my time to focus on family. But I think that even when difficulties arise in our lives to where our "commercial" aspirations aren't as important, there are always ways to keep writing an active part of our lives. Instead of writing books and articles, I've turned to writing in a journal and recording personal thoughts and feelings. Nothing we think or feel is every unimportant--and so it's crucial that they're not lost. And one day they could give me a reminder so I can tap into those feelings for a character or plot.
