My advice is to keep a notepad and a pen in your pocket or bag. Write down what you see or hear and anything interesting. It might even surprise you what you write!
I'm a second grade teacher by day and writer by night. Writing has always been how I destress after work. I'm also juggling my kids and Grad. school in the mix. My days are full.
I've always been a writer and kept a journal and a notebook. I've written stories for as long as I can remember. Before I wrote stories, I made little cartoons.
Yes, my first two novels are personal memoirs and every word is true. They are called: The Sex-Offender's Daughter and Living with Complex PTSD. Both are available on Amazon
I am one of those people who love to write stories. I have written stories all of my life. When I have time I write articles for the ComplexPTSD Foundation about what it is like to live after trauma. I am also working on my 7th manuscript called "Restoring Hope" - it is the next book in my Cedar's Port fiction series.
