My wonderful writer friend Tel Asiado asked me to do a guest post on her blog. She wanted my thoughts on being a working writer, and what inspired and drove me to continue in my field. That’s a tall order! But I’m glad Tel is doing this series because there are so many different writers in the world, it’s great to see where we all come from and what we write. We have so many choices.

My post covered my thoughts on the various things I write: poetry, nonfiction, and fiction. Poetry is my first love and the thing that I really pour my emotions into. It’s a healthy outlet. I tend not to publish every piece I write, only when it makes sense and when I think others might enjoy it. The nonfiction I write is all about paying the bills! I write articles and books on various subjects, my main areas being the dating world, diabetes, freelance writing, entertainment, budget saving ideas, and home and living.

The latest thing I’m doing is fiction, which I’ve done in the past but never really published. I talk about each of these over at my post, “On Being a Working Writer.” Check it out!
