Welcome! I write stories that stir heart & soul!

I've been writing stories and novels since the sixth grade when I was assigned to write a short story and instead turned in a 40-page novel about a little girl who stumbles on an underground cat colony! My English teacher (thank you, Mr. Ballantine!) was so impressed, he sent it to a publisher. The publisher did not respond, but Anne Marie decided right then and there to be a Writer (note the capital W).

Flash forward 50 years and I am still writing stories and novels (among other things)!

I have published several books about the intuitive process of SoulCollage®, as well as my two unique cancer journeys. I am now focusing my creative energies on fiction, and you can read my FREE 50-page novella

I believe that there are times when the creativity isn't flowing, and I have learned to accept that just as it is. I know that the non-flow times are just as important as the flowing times and that it's all part of the creative process. For me, it's helpful to commit to a minimum of one hour a day, three times a week, for what I call my Writing Practice. And it's just that... sitting down at my laptop and writing whatever flows out, even if it's "junk." The most powerful thing for me is the commitment, and the showing up. (less)

There will be time later for revising and editing. There are plenty of places online that can provide you with writing prompts, should you need them.(less)

Sister Monica Joan

scsistermonicajoanLast winter, I became intrigued and fascinated by (and . . . okay, a little addicted to) a British TV show, Call the Midwife. It starts in the late 1950’s. A group of nuns and secular midwives tend to the poor families in London. There are 15 seasons, so there’s a lot of drama going on, and all possible kinds of childbirth, relationships, friends, and legal matters happening.
