Welcome to my website!
I have always had the need to be creative, ever since I can remember. I think my initial discovery of this need probably occurred even before I entered kindergarten and experienced the joy of coloring with crayons.
Then I learned how to read, and a whole new world opened its golden door to me, taking me to faraway places and meeting people who I would never otherwise have the chance to meet. I was mesmerized by the magic and the power of the written word. When I was in the fourth grade, my teacher gave us the assignment of writing a creative story. I was to imagine that I was an inanimate object, and my story was entitled: “What it  Feels Like to be the Kitchen Sink.” I loved that assignment, and it opened the flood doors to my lifelong love affair with writing.
I continued to write poetry, short stories, and even kept a journal. After working for over twenty years as a registered nurse in the operating room, our three children are grown and I’ve retired. I now have returned to writing and I’m even in the process of writing my memoirs, in addition to another book, and am having a marvelous time doing both. I write in the genres of creative nonfiction, fiction, which includes some flash fiction, and poetry. I also write song lyrics, something which I have found that I enjoy immensely; but I shouldn’t have been surprised because I’ve always had a profound love of music, and combining writing and music came as naturally as breathing to me.
If you ask my husband, he’ll tell you that I spend most of my time sitting at my computer, and I enjoy every minute of it! There are so many stories to tell, so many poems to write, and yet, there’s so much more life to live!
I hope you enjoy my website and my blog. If you get a chance, feel free to drop me a note. If you’re an editor or publisher, Â you can find information about me located in the tabs above. Â If you’re a reader or fellow writer, I’d love to hear from you and about how you slice through your life!
Warmest regards,

yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had
a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks!

Thank you for your kind comments. As far as centering myself or clearing my mind is concerned, I can’t say that I do anything like that. I usually let my ideas sort of “simmer” before I begin writing. Sometimes I’ll do other things around the house while I’m thinking about what I might write about next and before I know it, the ideas will become clear to me and I”ll be ready to write. I really enjoy using the daily prompt that the WordPress site has to offer. It’s a great starting point for any blogger, and it’s something that you might enjoy using also. I hope this helps.

Why, your question is not off-topic at all, my friend! And I’m always willing to help, especially a new blogger. If you write in a diary everyday, then blogging everyday shouldn’t be difficult for you at all. And your blog can be however you want it to be. It’s a matter of experimentation, really. My blog has changed over time, as far as the look of it is concerned. But I love blogging. What is so great about blogging is that it’s meant to be more than just writing in your diary. Since there is a comments section, this means that other people will be able to converse with you, so really, blogging is more like a conversation, and that’s what is really great about it. You can put as little or as much time into your blog as you want. And WordPress is a great place to blog. There’s a daily prompt that WordPress puts out each day if you’re stuck on what to write about; I love the daily prompts as many people do. I’d say the best tip I can give you is to just be yourself. Don’t worry about writing for anyone else but yourself. That is how you’ll get the most of your blog. And if you need any help or have any questions, don’t ever hesitate to contact me. You may email me at: blainecindy@comcast.net and I’ll be more than happy to help you. Keep me posted on how you’re getting along. Good luck!
