Out of Crises comes beauty; that is what blogging is teaching me. My website can be followed on WordPress, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Tumblr and I occasionally post to Blogher as well. I am a stream of consciousness writer, but don't let that give you hesitation in following me. What I mean by stream of consciousness writer is that I write what is on my mind at that given moment. I do not plan my posts or short stories, they just manifest as I write them. Except for poetry, poetry I have to work and struggle at so that is a real challenge. I am new to being "a writer" as I have spent most of my life being the "editor" to other people's stories, books, screenplays, and blogs. And I am loving this new role as the creator. For the short stories I am still struggling with coming up with the beginnings... how does a person get that initial spark of creative inspiration? I don't know. As of now I have only written 8 short stories, all of them inspired by another blogger who has a weekly event entitled "Finish it." I am very proud of the stories I have written and will continue to enjoy learning and developing this gift I seem to have but was unaware of until now. Thank you for stopping by, Memee
