About wendykarasin

I am complicated and seeking - joy and sorrow, country and city, competition and cooperation. After behavior of a gregarious nature, I require down time to refuel. My loves are children, family, friends, reading, writing, blogging, fitness, and health. I feel most alive when I stay true to my core values. Beauty makes me happy, pain helps me grow.

Journey To Publish: Just Write

Posted on November 15, 2013 by wendykarasin

It is a lazy, chilly Friday. I had not intended to blog today but the voice of my middle son comes through, just write. There are stories everywhere; in my kitchen where a cabinet houses my grandmother’s white china with … Continue reading →

Today looks to be a good one, lots to do, see, read, consider. I have recently joined online writer’s forums and have resurrected many of my poems, with minor modifications, from decades past. I must admit to a feeling of … Continue reading →

Journey To Publish: Slowing Down

Posted on November 13, 2013 by wendykarasin

A late start, that’s okay, inspiration can come from the strangest places. The beauty of slowing down is that you miss less. What pulled me into the moment with my parents’, and grabbed me fast, was the time limitation. I … Continue reading →
