Moved to Florida and Finished Two Stories

It’s been a long time since I wrote a blog, but let’s give it a try. So much has happened since my last entry that it’s difficult to know where to begin. I think I’ll begin at the end and work my way backwards. At the end of 2023, hubby and I moved from Arizona to Florida. We loved Arizona, and lived there for over ten years, but now we love Flo Read more of this blog post »

Verna’s Quotes

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
― Agatha Christie
