I always wondered about the book writing part of your life. I am inspired by your words. I am a voracious reader and a wannabe writer. Reading is my favorite thing to do in the whole world. Your words reminded me of something I think often;I like to read most anything, any genre, any author, as long as it is well written. Lately I am in a funk because I pick up a book and after a few pages I just can't force myself to go on. The writing is average. The plot lines are unbelievable. The characters aren't even really likable. It is almost a reflection on the state of society (now I sound like a nutcase, must be the PMS). Ok, I like writing that zings me in the heart. That connects with me on a personal and deep level. Chickens in the Road does that for me. I read one of the Haven books and I did like that. I will have to look up the medieval romance books. They sound awesome. Welcome home Clover. Thank you for this post. I always wondered about the book writing part of your life. I am inspired by your words.

Perfect! I'm a wannabe writer. I love my characters and i love the blurbs i write. I can't seem to get it to a plot or the "so what" part of a story. UGH! I love this blog! I had just cruised back to absolutewrite.com to review some suggestions about writing...then i cruised over here for more flying sheep photos. And ta-dum! a great, passionate, helpful blog about writing. Thank you. Oh, i first came here to during my search for blogs about country living and off-grid living...i've stayed for the west virginia/country/livestock stories. But I'm THRILLED that you wrote about writing! Thank you! Perfect timing! Perfect! I’m a wannabe writer. I love my characters and i love the blurbs i write.

It is about zombie chickens(??!!) I have not had the guts (no pun intended) to read it yet. Just thought I'd mention the chicken book.

You go girl!! I am enjoying your journey it's helping me with mine to be more of an old fashioned kind of girl. Teaching others to go back in time and actually live off what you have is just great.
