Welcome to my blog!

I am… a writer, because I write.

It was August 2023 when I finally decided to get the courage to sign up for a creative writing online class at ed2go.com.

My professor Eva Shaw, PhD., an established author of more than 100 published books, inspired me to continue with my new passion for creative writing.

I am looking forward to continuing to take the rest of the creative writing courses she offers. If you are interested in trying something new you can find the courses on her website at evashaw.com.
