Let me introduce myself...My name is Patty Wiseman. A lifetime ago, as a child, I found myself lost in the stories my 1st grade teacher opened up to me. Over the years, my love of reading deepened and another interest formed-the love of writing. I have several short stories published and a few poems.

I set my day up as if I was going to my day job. I'm retired now, so it IS my day job. I take the first hour for social media and then go to my writing. After lunch a write a couple more hours. Evenings are set aside for family, but I am never idle in my mind. No matter what I'm doing, I look at it from a writer's perspective, so by the next day I have new inspiration. Some people need music or silence or other types of inspiration. I just need to be on an organized schedule. (less)

Creating those fictional stories, fictional characters that come to life under your hand. Creating worlds that readers can get lost in. I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing. (less)
