Cathy Lynn Brooks asked J. Schlenker:

I always wanted to write and wrote when I was upset or angry. When my daughter died in a car accident at aged 29, I started writing as therapy. I wrote a whole book so I decided to publish it. I have since retired and am writing a novel in NaNoWritMo. Will you be attending the online camp in April?

J. Schlenker I'm so sorry about your daughter. I have one child, a daughter, and I can only imagine. Writing is cathartic. My hope is to work on the rewrite/edit of the draft of a novel I finished on Tuesday during the month of April. I am so hoping for warm enough weather to sit outside and write. But, I don't plan on joining NaNoWriMo for it. I did start this one, though in November's NaNoWriMo. Beta readers have it now. It is a fantasy about animals, very different for me.
