If you have a goal to WRITE

I never thought I would be a writer. 

In fact, if my high school yearbook had a category for “Least likely to publish anything-EVER”, I would have won by a landslide.

During my high school years, we learned on a manual typewriter and worked our way up to an electric typewriter. After many hours spent trying to catch up on all the tedious drills, I finally made a passing grade. As far as I know, I still am the ONLY Ponderosa Bruin to ever be demoted from electric typewriter back to manual.

I also wasn’t a big reader. So in English when the teacher required the class to read extra books and do a written report to get an A, I would make the whole thing up: book title, plot, characters, and even the author. In order to not sound too intriguing, I would usually add something like, “It had me at the start but really drug through the middle.” or “The main character ended up being an unrelatable jerk.”

BUT, I have always loved stories. I love hearing them and passing them along.

When I discovered that I could write them, it opened a whole new world. An adventure that I would have never thought I would be part of. I am still learning all the time, but I am so thankful I took that first step to make my goal of becoming published a reality.

What about you? It is time to take the next step.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” Antoine de Saint-Exubery

    That’s so great that it felt easier to you to create a story than to read one! ? Love it!

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
