FAVORITE QUOTES"There's nothing wrong with teenagers that trying to reason with them won't aggravate."
Anonymous "The best subsitute for experience is being sixteen." Raymond Duncan HOW I BECAME A WRITERI began writing over fourteen years ago, when my two boys were only four and two. I would grab a few minutes and write a poem--this is all I had time for! Eventually I started writing more at home when my children were in school, in between my part-time family therapy practice. After writing a dozen articles, a newspaper column, and personal essays, I began to shift my focus to larger more complex works, blending my belief in God/the universe/a higher power into my writing both fiction and non-fiction. Writing is something I do every day; I can't imagine a life without it. But I also find that my experiences as a parent, a "spiritual" person, and a therapist only helps my writing get stronger. When I can blend all of those gifts together, I feel the most satisfied and complete. |
