I’ve worn many hats and masks in life, and now I’m comfortably me. Drank out of a garden hose as a kid, and it’s completely overrated. Mom, teacher, writer, observer, and cloud watcher

That feeling when you take a trip with your mc to a place you’ve never been, during a time when you didn’t exist.

So cool!!

Where have you gone with your mc?

Today’s motivation is to finish my chapter that I spent two days formulating in my head.

What’s your motivation today?

My inspiration for writing From the Heart came from a simple question: Where did she get the money?

What was your inspiration?

The Farthest Shore, the third Earthsea novel, was first published by Atheneum Books in 1972.
“But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.” —from The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin
