Profile Information

Who I am:
A displaced southerner who currently lives in Chicago but can't wait to take my rightful place back in the south in a few years. Began writing early in life. I got a creative writing and communications degree from Winthrop college in 1981. I married an older man and ending up moving to Pittsburgh and then Chicago. I lost my heart for writing as the north depressed me. I did not find the inspiration of the south and my years of growing up there in the north. We now are within 3 years of moving back to Charleston and the inspiration is flowing. I want to begi my writing career again but need direction and support.
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
None!!!!!! Help me!!
My writing is:
Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Memoir, Journalism
I found out about She Writes from:

She asks if I have planted anything this summer,

All the while watering her numerous beds of growth.

I show her my three tomato plants, proud of my new found accomplishment.

They are Heavy with blooms and baby green fruits.

She smiles…
