After writing much in my childhood, and majoring in creative writing in college, I mostly left the writing life behind as an adult. Having four kids and a full-time job as children's director at our church didn't leave much time to spare. I've found myself returning to it in recent years. It's becoming a way to tie together my six-plus decades and put into words some of my experiences. I've also been working to complete a novel and occasionally still work on poems, my first love.
