Usually, I go for a long walk. I live in Arkansas so the fresh air and scenery seem to inspire me and clear my mind. Sometimes going back and rereading a chapter or two is helpful. Mostly, I just write down whatever pops into my head and keep writing until I get past it.(less)

I love shutting out the world, sitting down at my laptop and getting lost in a new world I'm creating. We all need somewhere to escape to once in a while and I find it rewarding sharing that escape.(less)

Spring is coming!

Hello everyone! I've been absent on Goodreads for some time trying to finish my next two novels. I'm sure I've missed a lot and would like to catch up! What's new and what are you writing? Michelle

“There's one thing I want you to do for me."
"Anything." He pleaded.
"When you're all alone, sitting in the silence behind bars, separated from your freedom. Ask yourself. Was it worth it?" She closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.”
Michelle Umland, Willow Lake:

“There's one thing I want you to do for me."
"Anything." He pleaded.
"When you're all alone, sitting in the silence behind bars, separated from your freedom. Ask yourself. Was it worth it?" She closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.”
Michelle Umland, Willow Lake:

“Darkness doesn't have a name, Sage." His throaty chuckle traveled down her spine.”
michell umland

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
Omar Khayyám
