I am working on a fictional story, based on a true event in the life of a relative. It is a story about adoption and how God works in the life of individuals in unexpected ways.

It's a hard question. I have met so many great people because I write. Not all of them are authors or writers of any kind, though some are. I am an introvert by nature, but have learned to reach out and talk to people. Everyone has a story and I love to hear them.

It frightened me at first, but I've learned to wait on the Lord. Yes, I pray for God to release my ideas in His perfect time.

I am not new to writing, but new to sharing my work. Therefore, my only advice is to not give up on your dream no matter your circumstances, age, or feedback from others.

I only in recent years developed an ear to listen to my inner voice that spits out ideas. I try to write them down immediately and go back to week out. My ideas come from real stories I hear, overheard conversations in elevators, restaurants, waiting in doctor's office, etc. Anything I hear can develop in my mind.

My intention was to document the love between my first husband and me because he was killed before we had children, his parents have passed away and I wanted him to be remembered. It evolved from that thought.
