Now, I write because I've finally found the thing that if I don't do it every day, I feel weak and disconnected from my life and the world. While it sounds horrible as I read over what I just wrote, it's actually the best feeling in the world.

​

In between ferrying homeschooled children to and from various classes, groups and events, I squeeze in writing time. While navigating retired Navy life, I squeeze in writing time. Before the laundry gets folded (and somedays before the kids get fed), I squeeze in writing time. Late at night when my brain is swimming with ideas or dialogue or characters or descriptions, I squeeze in writing time.
