Hooray for the wierd misfits! I LOVE being a writer, a dreamer, an outsider.

Merry Christmas from The Beijing Family!

Stay special!

I saw this single flower by itself in a twine of leaves.  Dare to stand out!  We must not forget how special and beautiful we are!  

Miranda Lambert and writing at the library

Went to the San Marino public library to write Book 4 of my book series titled, "The Beijing Beauties". Opening scene of a chapter involved sitting across a beautiful blonde sorority girl and I was struggling with it.  The ideas were there but I couldn't get it all together.  Suddenly, I looked up... and saw Miranda Lambert gracing the cover of a magazine on a shelf directly across from my PC and the ideas came to me. 

Thankful for inspirations and feeling blessed! #china #Beijing #amwriting
