The Journey Begins

Hi! At 68 years old, I am exploring writing. I joined Shiawassee Area Writers a little over a year ago. It is a new group that is growing rapidly. Not even a year old, the group which had some seasoned authors and new writers, started a project to put an anthology together. Eighteen of our twenty-nine members offered 2500 words to the project. We were given the choice to display our words as we chose; one story or several, poems, combination of story(ies) and poem(s). On September,30, 2018 "Winter in the Mitten" debuted. I have one long story "Evergreen" in the book. This is the first book in a series. We are now working on "Spring in the Mitten." When I was in my early forties, I went back to school. I wanted to be an author. I earned an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts and graduated with honors. What I discovered was that writing is not easy. It is a craft and skill that does not come easy to me. I love to read and I can't even tell you how much help I have received by it. My hope is that my stories about my everyday journeys will lift someone's spirit. In the process, I pray that God will be glorified. My family, church and community, and my writing group are my top priorities. Life to me is all about connection and helping one another. View all posts by Linda Perry
