In the background, "100 Classic French Songs" plays on my iPad, and I’m dressed in black. Preferably my French-styled, A-line striped skirt and black V-neck top with satin trim on the collar and Victorian-style puffed sleeves. Almost everything in my closet is black, but the above-mentioned outfit is what I consider my “writing attire.” Mentally, there can be no distractions. The cell phone is turned off. No calls. No texts. No emails. It’s just me and my writing utensils. With the proper writing environment, I can work through writer's block.(less)

It is a bitter-sweet path, full of much satisfaction and enjoyment, once the written work is completed. As a journalist and travel writer, I enjoy the diverse topics I get to cover. As a non-fiction author and columnist, I love being able to help other authors learn and succeed in their own publishing path. Bouncing between "AP Style" to "Chicago Manual" can be a challenge throughout my day, but it's all worth it in the end. Being a writer is a one of life's luxuries. (less)
