Last year writing my novella I would take my laptop in the car and go park in a quiet place and I would get almost 1000 words each time.

The land is beautiful and the history is rich and varied. The people are amazing too and there are so many stories to tell. Like Debbie Lynne, I want my stories to lift up Christ, but I do touch on some difficult topics because this is life and we encounter those. I believe Dandi Daley Mackall has some good horse stories for younger readers. Years ago, Lauraine Snelling wrote a series of horse stories for younger readers that were very good.Nancy J Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566747643718758182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-92095909025984817102018-11-16T12:30:04.628-05:002018-11-16T12:30:04.628-05:00Hi Susanne, I read a lot of books.

We have great authors on our blog. Outside of that, I read Karen Witemeyer, Denise Hunter, Steven James, Lynette Eason, and the list goes on.

I have had people who encouraged me, but I have been in love with the written word as far back as I can remember. My mom and dad read to us and they read a lot. From a very young age I would go to the library and check out books. The library was a favorite place and I learned to love story. Then the ideas began to come.Nancy J Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566747643718758182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-47344224228424964832018-11-16T12:25:29.454-05:002018-11-16T12:25:29.454-05:00Hi Trixi, I don't struggle with writer's b...Hi Trixi, I don't struggle with writer's block. If I have a scene that needs worked out, I like to take a walk and ponder the situation and get it resolved. I read and read and read. lol I like to knit and crochet, walk, bicycle, play the piano and bake. I don't do much baking anymore since my kids are grown and away from home. Love those church potlucks though because then I can go crazy. :) Nancy J Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566747643718758182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-81592435224337172842018-11-16T11:34:40.185-05:002018-11-16T11:34:40.185-05:00DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
