Writing comes easier to some than others, but there is always room for improvement and growth.   It takes more than just words on paper to tell a good story.  I like learning.  I have a passion for the subject of writing craft and art of storytelling.  My library collection is extensive, as well as my online resources, which grow almost daily.

“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”
—Ernest Hemingway
