Remember bullies growing up? Well, they are a thorn in my son's side today and it's not pretty. Here's why America is a safe harbor for bullies http://bit.ly/eNpJ3X

I've been a writer since I could hold a writing instrument in my hand. I used to write notes to my parents asking them to stop arguing, forgive me, go to McDonald's for dinner, all sorts of stuff. I escalated when I got my Journalism Reporting and Editing degree then switched post-grad gears and went into public relations. I thought I wanted to be a member of the White House press corps until my Dow Jones copy editing internship at the Fresno Bee where I figured out I didn't want an electronic leash, i.e., pager, that would require me to drop what I was doing to report on a breaking news story. Over the last 10 years, I've learned that I am an incest survivor. I have PTSD and major depression. My natural inclination was to journal about what was going on inside my head. Then I heard about blogging. I felt very strongly it was time to tell my story and so I do. Plans are to publish those blog posts in a book and also write a memoir and a screenplay memoir. I love the written word and expressing myself through it. I hope my story helps those either in my shoes or on their way. It's never too late. After all, Colonel Sanders got his start at age 65. I have plenty of time ... sorta.

The name of this group definitely speaks to me.  I'm presently busy at inventing the second stage of my life.  My blog gave me a jump start and now I'm creating work that I've finally gotten up the nerve to submit places and actually contemplating writing an entire book (a book?!) So, yes, reinvention is the word of the day.

"We ask ourselves when we stopped believing in ourselves and when we stopped believing in anything outside ourselves. Through this process, our lost dreams may reawaken."

Thought about it, blogged about it. What else is new. http://recoveringdawn.blogspot.com

What I would say to Fleur de Lys - and anyone else - is 'what are you waiting for?'

I'm still thinking about writing my first novel...
(My daughter dared me to write that)

Started writing my first book a little over a year ago.  Pitched it at the Writers Digest Conference last month and 5 agents wanted a proposal.  Spent my life in theatre and nonprofit fundraising and educational sales; this is a whole new thing for me, although a lot of my skills are transferrable.Friend Grief is my blog, just started last week, about two week after I finally started tweeting.  This group describes me perfectly!

Finally feel qualifed to start showing up for real on SheWrites. I started a new blog, and I have blogged every day for two weeks, and am loving it. I like being 50 most of the time, and enjoy writing my way into self-discovery. I would trade either of my two present careers to be a full-time writer. One day.
