Jean, I loved reading your interview. The questions were good, and your answers were as thoughtful as your writing, which I love! I really enjoyed reading about your process, and having a greater connection to your passion for writing. I have to tell you, I personally love the short story format; I think it takes tremendous precision, patience and rhythm to create the well put together, compact story! Always proud! ⭐️💕
Donna, thank you so much for your kind and reassuring words. They came at the perfect time. 💕

Interesting interview about being a writer! I especially liked the line, “I write anyway, in silent defiance.” I can relate to that!
Thank you, Ann. I am glad you write. You always have something thoughtful to share.
