Winter writings

While navigating the last few months, The Laurels have continued to write despite troubles, losses and the state of the world. We hope our words help show how we are all connected and you find some that reonate with you here.
Please keep writing! Your words are a balm as well, for yourself and everyone you choose to share them with.

Validation

Writing truly its own reward, getting to be in the flow of creativity. The joy is in letting the work unfold as it will, with a hand on the rudder, following the current, trusting the wind. Have I been saturated with the Pacific Ocean life? Not nearly enough!
There is a joy as well in knowing that whatever art you're giving to the world is appreciated and meaningful to other people.
I've been nominated by the Pacific Northwest Writers Association for the Nancy Pearl Award for Best Published Fiction of 2024. The other two finalists are fine writers, Alle C. Hall and Irma Fritz, and I'm honored to be in their company.
