Day 26: #whyshewrites
The look on your face when you’re editing This picture connects to Day 25 and the reality of my editing. Actually, I don’t edit that much, but to be fair I haven’t completed a full manuscript that I have had to edit. 😂 My published pieces were edited by the publication editors, so I was…

Day 25: #whyshewrites
Do you have a pet who shares your writing space? Cats 🐈 are my spirit animal even though I identify with eagles 🦅 . For as long as I can remember I have had cats despite never really staying in one place long enough to see them grow old. My parents kept my childhood kitty…

Day 20: #whyshewrites
Favorite writing blog or social media account Honestly, I barely find time to write on my own blog or read headlines on the news each day that the idea of following other blogs is a bit overwhelming to me. Therefore, I am not really a blog follower these days. Though, I am open to ones…

Day 19: #whyshewrites
Favorite book(s) on craft I read Writing Down the Bones years ago, but I still remember it like yesterday. In fact, I should probably read it again as it might help motivate me. More recently, I read Cameron’s book and, although I didn’t follow it exactly as suggested, I found it one of the most…

Day 18: #whyshewrites
Favorite writing podcast Despite the many podcasts I listen to, the only thing they have in common with my writing is that they are true – true crime. I have tried podcasts on different topics like Paleo or health or yoga and I soon get distracted from them except on long car rides. So, I…
