Even when I'm feeling lazy and blocked, my brain gets all "itchy" because my fingers aren't on the keyboard or I don't have a pen in my hand making notes.<br /><br />While I always wanted to be a published writer, I figured I never would but I continued to write and submit, expect for that ten or so years in life intervened.

The 'write for someone who loves your writing' resonated with me. And I love the fact that the author is doing a digital serial book where the readers have the chance to mold the story line!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
