I am somewhat nervous starting this blog, but the Lord has blessed me with encouragement from my writing friends—especially my friends in Words For The Journey Christian Writers Guild. Every writer needs support through the frustrations of writing exactly what the reader is looking for. WFTJ is my cheering squad, my shoulder to cry on, and “someones” to celebrate with. To meet these wonderful friends and writers, check out their blog at www.wftj.blogspot.com.

One special friend in WFTJ is Jan Parrish.

Hi. How you doin’? Come on in.

Do you love to write? I do. Do you love to speak in front of groups? I do, even though my stomach is giggling like jello from nervousness. Ever been told you’re too young to write? That’s ok. I’ve been told I’m too old, but who cares.

Let’s get started. It might sound silly, but I’m watching a tree make different pictures against a blue sky and I’m creating stories about those pictures.

Tell me about what you see and make up stories about. I’ll be checking out your answers and will be back to talk about them on Tuesdays and Fridays.

I’m listening.

Hi. How you doin’? Come on in.

I’m looking forward to sharing an adventure with all of you. It is a trip through the land of creativity inside our minds. Creativity explains our world, changes it and builds new worlds within it. This morning, a beautiful day in Colorado and I look out my window through green leaves at patches of bright blue sky, creating different pictures in the gentle breeze. I see butterflies calling me to follow them; sparkling eyes of children playing hide-and-seek; and a room full of fans making their own wind.
