• 🫧Mermaids,and book three😏

  

  I started this journey with an idea. A love of the little mermaid. Now it has evolved into a trilogy and it’s wonderful, amazing, fun. I have not figured out everything yet.

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always […]

• Villains part two; conflict is crossing that line.

  One key thing I have learned thru writing is…conflict drives the story…it’s necessary or the plot will die out… key members in this conflict are villains, and antagonist’s…I have also learned that antagonists and villains are different characters entirely.
