So, I'm a writer ~ at least I aspire to be... I've been published one time. One poem that I entered into a contest online. I remember when I received the notification in the mail saying my writing was chosen. I didn't believe them. Then, a few days later I received the proof to review. I still have that. Good thing. After I proofed it and signed my rights away I learned that in order to have the book in which my poem was published, I needed to spend $49.95. I was not happy. Perhaps that's an understatement. But, I learned an important lesson ~ read the fine print!
Since then, I've hit a bit of a dry spell. Life is busy. The demands of children and family are great. But still, words and ideas bounce around in my head. That's why I'm here. I want to speak. I want to be heard. Sometimes as a mommy, sometimes as a wife, sometimes as a Christ-follower, sometimes as a homeschooling family, sometimes as a friend, but, at all times, as myself.
I'm not sure where this journey will take me but you're welcome to come along for the ride....
