Storyteller's Journey

When one sets out on a journey it is important to pack the necessary items for the trip. I set out on my storyteller's journey, in earnest, about four years ago. Up to that point I had only dabbled in short stories, poetry, and some journaling. It didn't take long to learn what I didn't know! Some of the first items I placed in my "writer's knapsack" were a few creative writing classes. The person who taught my Writers' Boot Camp course was the drill sergeant, Carolyn Rose. Whoops! I mean the author, of several books, Carolyn Rose. Besides all the great information I received from her, she was also very supportive of my efforts. (Not to mention that she and her author/husband - Mike Nettleton, are extremely funny!) So, if you're an aspiring author, like me, learn from those who are farther along the path to publication - or like Carolyn, have actually been there and back a number of times.   Visit Carolyn's Amazon author page
