Four hours of writing and dedication

Yesterday, with the exception of a few minor interruptions, I was able to write for four hours. I just let my fingers, do the talking. Sometimes, I don’t know where my story line will go. I just keep writing and ending up with something else I had not even thought about.




Meredith, my daughter sat on the floor as I wrote. Every once in a while, she would ask, “Read it to me.” After reading short bits, she would add her thoughts. Let me tell you, she is good. I have encouraged her to write a children’s book. I believe this is good for her to watch me, give ideas, and listen.



This morning, I decided to dedicate The Cross Roads to Meredith.
