Writer's Wing

I recently shared a photo of me holding my mom’s book, “Overcoming Dark Family Secrets.” I didn’t go into detail about it though… My mother has overcome quite a bit in her lifetime, including every abuse imaginable from a young age into her thirties. She shared her story openly, in the rawest way possible in […]

I love to write. Stories, inspirational stuff, informative, etc. I have been blessed enough to be gifted enough to actually earn a living doing something I enjoy. Of course I enjoy some writing far more than others, but it’s the arrangement of words that make them work the way I want to, manipulation even, that […]

Sometimes I’d keep a story going for days and put myself to sleep letting the story spiral and unfold night after night, picking back up where I left off the night before. I suppose that creativity […]

One of the most challenging parts of writing this series, for me, is focusing on one story line at a time so I can get the rest of the books out! It’s not the attention to the details that distract me, really. It’s quite the opposite. As I think about one of the storylines, letting […]
