Maybe you have always dreamed of being a published writer with images of yourself as an author held dear to your heart. Do you find as time goes by that you are no closer to actualizing your dream? Do you have a wonderful and very well developed list of reasons why you are not writing?
Then when you do manage to sit down and work, do your thoughts skitter and whirl? Characters, plots, stories, and ideas proving illusive as you try to grasp them and place them on the page. And once you have written, are you lost as to what to do next?
Recognize the feeling? You are not alone. We have been there and know every bend of the road from ideas and good intentions to successfully published books.
We believe that with hard work, commitment, and dedication, writers can become successfully published. Yes, you have to commit to a time and place to write. Yes, you have to take a good look at your life and decide who will be helpful and who may not need to become involved in your creative process. Yes you will need to continually study and learn your craft. And indeed, there will be times you want to throw your hands in the air and walk away.

Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty.
Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths.
We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there. - Henry Miller

Amen to that!
