I initially took this course to figure out how to find other writers and network with them. My previous attempts ended up with me Twitter-stalking a handful of people who most likely think I’m a nut. All I want to say to them is, “I just want to talk about writing, writer people! Why are you running? Come back! I have cookies!”
Writers have a completely foreign set of joys and tribulations than the average person. I’m pretty sure my friends stopped caring about my writer problems a few years back. Twitter friends don’t–and can’t possibly–know me in 140 characters or less unless they’re looking for that community, too.
So, this brought me to The Story Cartel last Fall, where I met the core of my Cartel. I’m always looking for more like-minded people to add to that Cartel. And I love talking to creative people about creating stories.
My personal goal, besides platform- and community-building, is to write as my profession. An international best-seller would be awesome, but I’m okay with having a few books out there making a decent showing. It’s a dream come true either way.

I’m having trouble with links and tried to include them above…
But, here they are:“Daniel the Draw-er” on Amazon
“Daniel the Draw-er” on Story Cartel

Wow. not sure why half of my message up there is a big, long link. I’m sure I messed up my link code. Anyway…
Thanks, Angie! It’s fun to have my story out there. I’ve been invited to several schools to speak with elementary classes who have read my book.
I’m off call now with no clients lined up. It’s times like these where I always wonder if now is the time to transition to something else. With a book out there–and well-received–maybe it really is time. Childbirth education isn’t something I’m drawn to, unfortunately. A fledgling doula organization asked me to come on staff and help them write their curriculum, but I’m even struggling with that because I’m a creative writer, first and foremost. I write fiction so I don’t have to research statistics and draw up charts and graphs. Not sure how that will pan out.

Ooo, love to have someone on the other side of the fence, publishing-wise, to add their perspective. Very nice to meet you, Angie!

Thanks, Lee! I’m always willing to talk through my writing/publishing experience so far. It’s been a lot of fun!

The Story Cartel won’t know what hit ’em if you do find enough time.
