    Writing Tips – Inspiration

    Occasionally my children ask me, “How do you write?” Sometimes what they really mean is how do I decide what to write. The short answer is I don’t know, but since that isn’t helpful, I’m taking the time to really think about where my inspiration comes from.

    Thoughts For a Legend

    Robin Williams delighted audiences with his offbeat humor and his touching and uplifting characters from the 1970s until his heart-breaking and untimely death in the summer of 2014. We lost a legend that day.
