Swimming
In addition to discussing my swimming, and how I managed it, I want to remind you dear reader, my book is on sale on Amazon. Check it out here : LINK TO BUY _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ ______ So…I went swimming today. I’m pretty good at it, this was the first time to take a dip this year. At first, I sat on the edge and dangled. Losing my breath due to icy water is not exactly my idea of a good time. But it wasn’t that cold and the place was packed with all these kids zooming past

What Inspires You To Write?
This post about writing and what inspires you to write came out of what happened over the weekend and what I saw. Beware this post will be image-rich.

Inspiration
Inspiration according to the dictionary is 1.an inspiring or animating action or influence. 2.something inspired, as an idea. 3.a result of inspired activity. 4.a thing or person that inspires.

Movies etc. –I am such a Gossip Girl
