Sappho : MyBlogHer Profile

After being resurrected from the dead with a bit of the muse Sappho entering my body ay the age of 35 I switched from technical and proposal writing to fiction/non=fiction and creative writing. I am currently working on two novels that could not be more different - each with the inspiration of Sappho as my guide. One is fiction and one is inspired by a non-fictional account of a period in my life that is ripe for the picking. I had the idea to hone my writing skills by starting a blog a making myself write on at least a 4 day a week basis but I end up writing at least 5 or 6 days a week and sometimes every day. It is a great exercise in discipline but as a perfectionist, i have had to teach myself code and do everything myself, making the process of writing and posting much longer than just an hour or so, Once I get more into the groove of doing everything with ease, I will better manage m time to work on all projects I have going. I also write erotica short stories, heavy on the story, and am looking to compile them into a book for submission once I have enough put together. I share some of them with my blog audience every month or so as an added bonus to staying tuned to my rants and raves about this or that. I have done no publicity yet except through friends and have built a small following I am proud of. Check me out at www.sapphospeaks.com.
