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!

'I' is for...?
Today, guess which emotion/feeling/state of mind that begins with the letter 'I' that I've depicted today in the short fictional passage below. (And, can you tell my inspiration was running low? *Laugh*)


Here goes:


The writer stared at her computer screen. The cursor blinked, accusingly, next to the one character she’d managed to type. ‘I’. She sighed, her mind wandering to her to-do list, which was short today. She forced her attention back. ‘I’. What a silly prompt. It’s a letter yet a word all by itself. Big deal. She lifted her fingers off the keyboard, examined a bit of polish chipped off one nail, then lay them back into the grooves of ‘a’, ‘s’, ‘d’, ‘f’, ‘j’, ‘k’, ‘l’, and semi-colon. ‘I’. What could she say about ‘I’. She had no opinion, one way or another. The only thing she cared about what getting something, anything, written down.


Any guesses?


Thanks for reading!
