From Dreams

I was a sophomore in college when I was accused of living my life as though I were “hopping down the bunny trail.” True, I was a little naive at the time. All I knew I had learned from voraciously reading books. Experience? Practically none.

But I went for that experience every chance I got and created chances when they didn’t appear. I think, and hope, some of that experience shows in my writing.

I have been writing fiction since 2006. William Grey, former editor and writer for “National Geographic,” read my first manuscript and told me that my writing was worth pursuing. I did everything I could to learn more, including reading books on how to write better and subscribing to “The Writer” magazine.

Since then, I have written short stories, a couple vignettes and drafts of three novels. I have edited nonfiction since typing dissertations and theses in college and working as an assistant and paralegal for nearly thirty years. Retirement has given me more time to write, as well as review fiction and exchange critiques on line.

My blog is about  writing, traveling, and living.

My site includes samples of my writing.

Here I am, one more example that it is never too late to discover your passion and follow your dreams.
