A Writer's Life and Links

I don't have a set schedule for writing. I should write everyday, but life often gets in the way. I am extremely family oriented, so that comes first in my life (and this includes all my dogs). When I do write, I prefer mornings when my mind is the most clear. But I have discovered over the years that I have to sit and write whenever my characters talk to me. If I don't, they will hound me until I get their story on paper.

Over the years, I have made numerous friends in the writing world. Below are links to a few of those writers, as well as links to research sites and writing organizations.
