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!

Tomorrow, I will be Carolyn Abiad's guest at her blog Serendipity  Open in new Window.. My post will be the first in a series about international romance and how it affects a writer's work.

I hope you join me at Serendipity  Open in new Window. tomorrow for my discussion and photos!
