Welcome to my blog site!

I'm excited to be able to share thoughts and ideas with friends and family. I want to make 2010 the year that I do 'something' with my writing. Yes, that sounds vague, but I want to take some sort of action, whether that means upkeeping this site, joining a writing club, heading a club or all of the above.

Give me a shout out if you pass by!

Thanks, Maria

    Mom! I'm so excited you've finally decided to join the virtual world! :D Many writers today got their start via blogs and social media, so I hope this helps you gain exposure and popularity because you are a wonderful writer (both in English and Spanish!).

    I love you! :)

Writing is HARD work. There I said it!

Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles. We talked about how some writers can simply sit down on a computer and write on command; I cannot. My pre-writing process can take me ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or more and it usually involves me ‘getting in to character’; I need to connect with the hero and heroine before I can delve into their lives. It is then when I’m emotionally attached that ideas begin to form I’m able to capture the thoughts and the scenes and the story begins to unfold. I can tell you that when I begin to write a story, I too experience the same nervousness that a lot of writers feel. Will anyone read my stuff? Will anyone care about what I have to say? This is the fretful process of a writer, yet, we, I, push forward and write with excitement, optimism, and a lot of discipline. On an amusing note (or maybe not so) one thing that we, writers, often encounter is that non-writers tend to think that writing is easy.
