Evolution of a Writer – Who is “I” and “me”?
This year I am writing a novel. An interesting thing occurred as I have been writing The Nameless Files. I can’t say when it happened and I only noticed it recently.

Writing with wings
This year I am writing a novel. In that wonderful way that writing grows its own wings and takes flight I have watched things develop in my writing of The Nameless Files that I never would have expected and that I certainly didn’t plan for. Once I realized that I needed to stay true to… Continue reading Writing with wings
