Anne and Captain Wentworth from Jane Austen's Persuasion. A love that lasted a lifetime.

I have two short story projects in the works. I'm contributing three short stories to an anthology that will be published in 2015. I'm also putting together my own collection of short stories. I'm shooting for 21 pieces because that is my favorite number. That tells you a lot, right?

I write a sentence about anything that pops into my head. It doesn't have to be relevant to what I'm working on. Sometimes it becomes the beginning of a short story I didn't realize I was going to create. Just put the words down even if it is a terrible sentence.
