Writing is...

"I have two kinds of writing. One type, the one I most often put here, helps me wrestle through emotional wounds caused by family, friends, and relationships. The other kind, what I'm more likely to publish if I can ever complete it, is to help others."

"Writing is a gift from the Lord brought initially to me through my mother who shared crosswords and sci-fi books when I was a young, sickly, ninety-five pound weakling. From there the gift grew and has become a way to release the words that must exit!"
