I have written all my life. I wrote in my bedrom when i was alone and abused. Writing was what helped me cope. Writing was what helped me communicate.
I realized that putting pen to paper was my best therapy. People loved the words i put on paper. I was unable to say them, but I was able to speak them. I became a director of a battered woman's shelter and a counselor at the jail for women who were also deeply hurting. I took their stories and mine and and wrote the book, The Sinful Woman. The book is available on Amazon, etc and it has helped many. I am a journalist that took my passion for writing and decided to help the community that i wrote for. I have written for a newspaper for 3 years and have been able to help many many people just by the written word. It has been absolutely such a blessing to watch the community respond to words on a paper to help others who are hurting.
I decided recently to take a break from the newspaper business and I am working on my second book. A fiction book that is my heart. I am painting a picture of a woman that, hopefully, all can relate to in their pains, suffereings, and sins. In my writing, I can be real. I can express myself in ways I never could with my mouth. I hope that my writing continues to help those who read it.
Thanks for reading!
