Doing the Work

“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for.  The most you can do is live inside that hope, running down its hallways, touching the walls on both sides.”  (Kingsolver – Animal Dreams)

I am better with language than I am with people. This past month I have immersed myself with discipline into the craft of creating a story.   I am choosing to do the work while keeping a receptive mind and an open heart to what my characters need to say.  Daily writing and re-writing will be a long process for me.  To this end, creating a novel that I can share with you, I will not be posting on the blog.   I will leave the blog site open for readers who may want to read one of the 185 past posts. 


Yes, a tree fell in the forest of my life; this time I have listened and there is a story to tell.
