I'm a feature writer and also love to take photos. Daily posting has been great fun and I am so happy to be writing again. I'm also trying to freelance which is always a challenge. Thank you so much for YOUR posts, too.

I have found the blessing in my writing - it has become one of the only things I can control. This means I have actually developed an editing process that goes beyond a read through and spell check! it sounds nuts, but I never had a process before.
