I so enjoyed listening to Linda Gilden share about how she began writing. As I listened I thought her message was a bit similar to yours and so appreciated you sharing your story too. I love to write and have written many pages of journal and a few posts and articles. I wrote a poem in high school that was put in a book of poems. That was my only literary achievement. But I was so encouraged by this podcast and do appreciate you and Linda sharing your heart and lives of being an author with us.
