Hearing them, reading them, watching them. Writing lets me tell stories and discover the stories of others. And it allows me to explore the lives of others in the characters I create. One of the best things for me about being a writer, is when one of my characters surprises me- an idea or a line of dialogue that comes to me and I just go with it. That's always a great writer day.(less)

Whether it's a journal, or a paragraph or lines of dialogue, it doesn't have to be fully formed. It doesn't have to become something. Just get the words on the page. Sometimes I have an idea for a scene but I don't have the ones leading up to it formed, or know what happens next, and that's okay. You can write out of order. Writing leads to writing. And read as much as you can too, that is always inspiring.(less)

Thank you 2017!

What a year 2017 was for my debut novel Mothers and Other Strangers. Somewhere along the way, I stopped blogging and wanted to share some of the highlights of what happened along the way. I traveled around Canada and the United States, having events and connecting with readers and booksellers who never ceased to amaze me with their kindness and generosity, not to mention their passion for authors Read more of this blog post »

The Wise Women by Gina Sorell
"Good family book"
The Wise Women by Gina Sorell
"This book was delightful and light and funny. I picked up because it was a chick lit from my library book club. I did not find it to be a chick lit at all. A story about a woman (last name Wise) who had a tough time of it when her husband passed away" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Gina Sorell  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Space. It means different things to different people. Room to grow and explore, the square footage of a home, the distance between ourselves and someone else. And then there are the spaces deep within ourselves where our memories and dreams exist, stuck in time between what was and what could’ve been.”
Gina Sorell, The Wise Women
