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.

Am I the only one that's dealing with a real first draft, for the first time?
) as I wrote about the protagonist yesterday, I had several light bulb moments when I felt her character take a step out of the shadows. I've got to hang onto the belief that that's the point of writing like this. When you turn off your internal editor, close your eyes, and just let the words gush out of your head and onto the screen, you get "first thoughts." First thoughts are raw and ragged around the edges, but they hold the greatest energy of anything you will write.
