"Fridys" is the story of a reclusive spinster, writen in her voice. The novel is far different from anything else I've written. Lucille is a combination of a lot of people I've known who slip through life, nearly unnoticed, content, at least they think, with their own quiet life.

Read. And, of course, write. Talk to writers too. There are some very good websites that will let you do this. I can recommend FanStory.com as one that is very helpful.

Many years ago, I came across over a hundred beautifully written letters, between a man and woman courting. All penned in a ten month period in 1866 and detailed their daily lives. I researched the pair and I'm in the process of writing about them.

I write every day, at least something. If I'm not doing well with something new, I re-write.
