So proud of you. First hurdle for most dabbling in writing is admitting that they are a Writer. Next huge step is being a published writer. Yay you! December will be here before you know it. Sounds like you have a supportive librarian at your local library! This is another huge step. You are rocking this!

It feels great to claim that identity!!!

Thanks for writing about this in such a wonderful & relatable way...you rock!

Despite the voices in my head I will keep writing & your support has been so huge for me.

I cannot wait to read your book Jacque!

It is my belief that the more you write, the quieter that negative voice will become. Drown it in your profound, beautiful words. Your readers are hungry for your words. I know I am.

Thank you, Janet! It is going to end up being a collection of essays, non-fiction pieces, and some fiction tossed in. Most pieces are based on writing I’ve published in The Animal Companion Magazine. Those pieces had short word count limitations. My editing partner has recommended more writing, more details, to fill in gaps that there was not room for in the magazine. Working on those now. I’ll keep you posted!
