My Journal

I have always kept a journal ever since I did ethnographic research and learned the discipline of recording my notes every night.

When I wasn’t doing fieldwork, my journal focused on my work as a teacher and the joys and non-joys of being a parent. When I traveled, I would carry a small leather-bound journal to capture the things I experienced.

Now I am starting a whole new career, a whole new persona. I am a writer. A published writer! I started keeping a hand-written journal and then another and another until my desk is overloaded with little spiral notebooks and my poor kitty can’t sit beside me to be petted. So here goes. I am tossing the little books and taking my journaling up a notch. I have a set up a Journaling Blog.

If you are interested in reading about my trials, tribulations and successes as a writer and want to learn the tips and tricks that I have discovered to make the process easier and more creative, VISIT . . .
