I’ve always got my ear to the ground. There are enough interesting people and events to inspire a lifetime of stories.
What message do you wish to convey with your writing?
For me it’s not acceptable to simply write good stories. I feel compelled to include a gift with the writing, something the readers can take with them that may make a difference in their life or the lives of those they love. It’s not enough to be entertaining; I need a reason or a purpose for the entertainment. It can be subtle, I much prefer that is, but it needs to be there. Basically, I want to write good stories that warm the hearts and question the brains of my readers, and then I like to add something a little extra. I once wrote about what it was that I wanted to do with my life. It ended with, “Share truths, touch hearts, bring joy.” That’s what I’d like my writing to do.
