Life is an adventure not a destination. I truly believe this. I never expected to become a writer. Reader yes? I've always loved reading. I still do when I get the chance but writing is very time consuming.
Once upon a time I trained, showed, cared for two wonderful American Saddlebred horses because I love horses and always have. They taught me a lot. Never give up. Never give in. I discovered writing by way of King Arthur who I learned was not a king but a Celtic chief. Then, I learned you don't meet a Celt that you don't run into a Roman soldier.

After that, I just go with it and enjoy the ride. What is surprising is, ideas explode after that.
Also I'm a bit of a pantser/write by the seat of my pants as well as a plotter/outline the story. or mainly know where it's going to end. Then set off on this journey knowing where I'm supposed to go (plotter). It never goes that way, so I let it fly (pantser) enjoy the ride because I know where it will end...some how. Knowing I can't do it wrong keeps me from blocking. Now if I do hit a wall, I pull weeds (literally) Clean house. Scrub toilets. By the time my brain has figured it out, I have a nice yard and a clean abode. . (less)

Imagine if you will, ancient Rome and being a young girl married off to a full-blown narcissist and told it was her responsibility to please him. This was Aelia Sabina’s dilemma. And yes, this task was impossible. Yet she survived. Even at its worst…she fought to survive.
