  • I want to be a writer because I love the story, and I love the people that come in and out my head. Plus the suspense is very enjoyable for me a swell. I have few dozen books in my head that I plane to publish with in my life time. I think I want to write until I'm too old to do anything, when my adult grandchildren are like "no grandma step away from the lap top, and go nit " or what ever I'm into when I'm an older woman

  • Excited to hear you plan to publish the books in your head, witchypoo! I for sure want to write into my old age. Wonder what will captivate me then? thanks for commenting!

  • Thanks! I just started on the Mayden chronicles. I wanted to watch all the videos first for some reason. so I just started reading it, but from what I've read so far. I decided to start spamming you to my friends on face book

  • A case where spamming may be good? Thanks!!! Hugs, Robin

  • That is true, ScottieDM, about the non-fiction. But the best non-fiction books tell stories in one way or the other...or so I think! Yes, we have four more blockbuster tips coming soon! Thanks for letting me know you're paying attention!

  • That is amazing from a 14 year old... sounds like a plot driven story, which most of mine have been. So the thing to work on now is why these characters are worthy of their pirate plot! Keep going!
