I tend to be a 'disciplined' writer. I do not wake up in the middle of night with urges to rush to the computer. My ideas formulate during the week 'in the background' of my mind. I try and find time each weekend to then sit and put my thoughts into writing. So far have not sat down with an empty mind - thank goodness !!

The joy of creating something that people (apparently) enjoy reading. Very satisfying.

Go for it ! Everyone has a story to tell. Make it happen!
Most importantly, I strongly suggest joining a writer's critique group. It helps to have objective opinions. You will also learn from the styles of other people's writing.

Since writing "The Chapel of Eternal Love", I switched genres, and wrote a murder mystery set aboard the QE II luxury liner. That is now completed. I have recently started another murder mystery set in Las Vegas.

Writing is an ongoing joy and relaxing hobby. I love it when I have time to let the 'creative juices' flow. It is exhilarating.

My book entitled by "The Chapel of Eternal Love" was inspired by taking some out of town visitors to a Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. I had been seeking inspiration for a 'romantic novel'. While at the Chapel , we met a couple waiting to be married. I wondered what prompted them to get married by themselves - no friends, no family, no big white wedding. A slew of short stories flooded my mind. The result is "The Chapel of Eternal Love".
