Hey Cindy, yes – I should have been clearer, I meant grabbing books from libraries! Thank you for your comment and I shall indeed keep at it!

I was a little confused in 2 places of your article but its probably the way I read it: “Growing up in a house without books” and “as a child I became well practised in grabbing a book and having to zone out”??? I had no books in my house, but elementary school I always checked out books, maybe that’s what you meant. Thanks again. Keep writing 🙂

You’ve certainly passed the cafe test with me! And we share a friend in our lovely Mary Ellen

I think that’s the key for me, discipline – but not so much that it detracts from the joy or the freedom. I have just been reading some of your blogs – I LOVE your outlook, particularly ‘Today is where I am supposed to be…’

Lovely to connect with you Mary Ellen.

Very best wishes

I love your description of your writing process. I think you have found a way to be happily disciplined in your work, and I am going to look through your publications this afternoon. I started writing early, but the rhythm didn’t come until later, when time was in short supply.
Best wishes,
Mary Ellen
