- About Me:
- I am one of those people that never seemed to find my niche while all the while I was delving in it as a hobby of sorts. I have always written, it may have only been a haphazard journal or as a form of therapy, but, I wrote.
A friend discovered some of my old notebooks one day while helping me clean out an 18 wheeler that I had driven for 3 years. He snuck one home and showed it to his wife. She typed up some of the stories about a woman on the road alone for weeks at a time and submitted them to trucker's magazines. It wasn't long and I found myself contributing articles for three publications.
Six months after the first one was printed I was asked to create feature articles for one. It involved interviewing other women drivers and writing about them.
In January of 2006, I founded and acted as Editor, Writer, Advertising and all around news woman for a community paper that was supported solely by advertising and making a profit.
I became seriously ill in 2003 and am now 85% home-bound. I am also, for the most part, mute. I started InspiredWordArt.com in 2004 and it was doing well until my illness took over my life. The problem was finally diagnosed and I am much better now. However, 13 strokes have left me a bit weak.
These things have only made a fuller library of things to write about and my writing stronger. I work on an average of 14 hours a day now trying to promote this business. I welcome any work or suggestions.

Your Niche
I am a conversationalist, (as I call it) I talk to my readers as though they were sitting in front of me.
I have been told that I do it too much and that I use to many real life examples in my how-to work. For example; I wrote an eBook on overcoming a lack of self confidence called 'Head Held High'. Although it is said that I am too wordy it has also bee… Continue

My first Post
For the most part I want to blog here about my experiences as a freelance writer and post some of my articles and links. But, I thought that for a first post I would share this humorous post about emails that I receive on profile pages and the strange ways of men. I hope that you enjoy it.

Thank you for the compliment. I am a strong person and I have fought for that strength. It has been a hard but eventful life. I have been encouraged to write about it but it would have to be several books as no one would believe just one.
You might enjoy one of my stories on soulcast.com. Here is the url if you are interested: http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/65933/Miracle-Mountain
I would be interested to know more about card writing. I have not found much information on it. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
THIRTEEN STROKES! You are a woman of incredible strength.
