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. Please read my stories!

Riding Horses
The kids have been on Fall Break this week -- so my writing time has been limited and my quiet time has been even less *Laugh* We try to balance their need to play/shout/run/eat/explode-with-joy with my need to write. So far, it's worked out pretty well. Today was a perfect example. We spent the morning with friends up in the north Georgia mountains, riding horses. The kids had an absolute blast, and the fresh air and mountain views lifted my spirits high. I had my notebook with me and jotted down sensory descriptions I wanted to remember.

Here are the kids on horseback:

When we got home in the afternoon it was "Mama's Boring Work On The Computer Time," and the kids went outside with the neighborhood kids to play/shout/run/eat-a-snack/explode-with-joy. I worked on my entry for the finals in WYRM's Gauntlet (such a challenging write for me!), and then I wrote this for Acme's "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.:
