All are Free to Write

by Sheila Allee

Have you ever told yourself someday you're going to do some writing? Someday you're going to put down on paper the stories of your life? Someday you're going to start journaling as a pathway to personal growth? That "someday" has arrived.

All are Free to Write is a one-year journal designed to get you thinking about your life and recording your thoughts. This volume corresponds with the holidays and special events of the 52-week calendar.

Each writing prompt was once a blog post on Sheila Allee’s Free to Write newsletter, which launched in 2016. FTW began and continues to be a support and hopefully an inspiration to those who want to develop a journaling practice.

About the author

I knew since elementary school that I wanted to be a writer. In fact, I joined my first writers group with classmates when I was 10 years old. In high school, I got interested in journalism and majored in that field in college. I was a journalist for 12 years and I have to credit journalism with providing my early training in the basics of writing.

My latest book is All are Free to Write, a one-year journal with writing prompts and blank pages for journaling.

Also on my author's bookshelf is My Father's Eyes, a memoir about the friendship I had with an uncle who had a profound intellectual disability and who was locked in an institution for decades.

My first book was Texas Mutiny: Bullets, Ballots and Boss Rule. It is a true crime about a political assassination that happened in the 1950s.
