Hello There:
Like many people, the idea of writing a story started some where long ago. For me, I think it happen when we moved into house that had a long narrow library.
I very very very small then, yet I remember the french doors that one had to walk though to get in the room. The shelves were full of books...old mysteries and similar genres. I had not started first grade yet...but now at 58 I still recall the power I felt in that room...like I belonged there.
It took me many years to reach the point where I could write a story and feel the power that I felt long ago. Writing is not about money...yes I can use all I can get of that...It is about crafting a story that others will enjoy and that I can be proud of. It may not be perfect- but feeling your first "book" that has your name as the author....It's Priceless .
