How the Journey Began

I have always enjoyed writing, even as a young child. I became an English major in college simply to the fact that I loved to read and write. I enjoyed writing term papers and book reports. It came easily to me. Over the years, I would write letters and keep a journal of bits and pieces of useless meanderings. Life got in the way – family and career. I missed both picking up a book and getting lost in the pages of adventures and characters. When the shout of retiring came up, I knew I needed a plan to stay busy. Our local library offered a writers group. I showed up with evening, nervous and cautious. The people were warm and friendly and welcoming. Nothing was forced, but I started to write, each morning. The words started to flow. One of those journals entries became the first three paragraphs of Betrayed Promises. I still go to my writer’s group[ and joined second. I still try to wrote a few mornings a week. I hope you will stay with me. The journey is always more fun amongst friends.
