“If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” Mother TeresaI’m not writing this piece out of any desire to blow my own horn. People all over the world give generously of their time and money to help others, and the amounts I give to charities are just “drops in the bucket.” However, every dollar counts when it comes to feeding hungry children and finding cures for the diseases that affect them, not to mention providing heat in the winter for families that cannot afford it, etc.,…See More

The Skinny on Poetry

If you want to clear a room, most people would agree that yelling “Fire!" works nicely. However, if you don’t mind a more leisurely exodus, the word “poetry” will do.
Although poetry doesn’t inspire dread like say, Ebola or April 15—it certainly seems to make a lot of people nervous. “That stuff is over my head,” I've heard some folks say, if poetry comes up in conversation. “I had enough of poetry in school,” is another well worn comment. Such attitudes make a poet’s job tougher… Continue

- Well bless your heart, Rebecca! Thanks for your support! I really hope you enjoy it. I just updated my website to contain crucial information about where any royalties might be spent...in the spirit of being upfront with my readers, of course...HA! I try really hard to maintain my "serious" writer facade, but it is tough to keep that going all the time when I have always been the class clown! :o) (Well, not the WHOLE class, but for my friends, anyway!) You can read it if you want, at http://terrikirbyerickson.wordpress.com. And I really appreciate you giving the book a try! Please keep me updated on your career, as well! Have a wonderful day, Terri :o)

Cris, I started writing when I finally believed in myself enough and allowed my voice to emerge and trust the process. The piece I'm working on is a one-woman show about mental illness and it was bubbling under the surface for years. It was…
