Hopefully, you found your way over here from Dani Jace’s blog.
No lengthy answers for me this week, sorry.
I’m deep in final edits and at my day job as an elementary teacher, it’s an insane week with swimming lessons, state testing, and a spring concert.
Hey, Romance Writer’s Weekly blog hope is having a huge Giveaway too!

1. When did you start writing, and why?
I was working part-time as a substitute teacher and my youngest son had just gone off to college. At that time, I thought I wanted a full-time teaching job. My goals have changed to being a full-time writer. (Funny how that happens!)
I had time on my hands after having been crazy-busy for twenty years. So, after church one day, I started thinking about a scene I had pop into my head.
Could I write an entire story based around that scene?
Seems I could. And, I’ve written three others and am well into my fifth with about a dozen more stories demanding to be told.
2. What do you like best about writing?
I love words, I really do.
I love weaving them together to create vivid imagery and gripping emotion. But the thing I think I love the most about writing is there are no limits to what I can do. I control everything; the setting, characters, plot, intrigue, HEA . . . all of it.
Plus, there’s that neat feeling when you read something you wrote, perhaps after not having seen it in a long while and you think, “I wrote that? Yeah. I wrote that.”
3. If you could go on a writing retreat, where would you go and for how long?
I’ve actually been to both England and France. 
And having a student get lost at the Eiffel Tower, And tryng to find your way back to your motel when you don’t speak French at 1:00 am. Oh, and the subways have shut down for the night, and the street lights in Paris are turned off at 1:00 am, and no cabby will give you a ride because you’re an American.
Not that I would know about any of that.
Of course, you’ll want to hop over to Katie O’Connor and see what tantalizing tidbits she has for your today.
