I'd never really thought much about blogging until I received the invitation from AARP to blog for them, and to assist in the start-up of their new blog site. It has been fun, encouraging, engaging, inspiring, occasionally daunting, and sometimes stressful. Stressful only when the week is ending and I haven't fulfilled my weekly obligation of writing three posts. You can view my AARP blog at www.seniorweblogs.com. I'm hutchlj. The daunting part comes in when I realize I'm old enough to write for AARP.
I've always loved to write. Even when holding down a full-time job and raising my children, any time there was an opportunity to write press releases or newspaper or trade journal pieces for my many volunteer/community activities, I jumped at the chance. It wasn't until this past year that I've been able to turn that love into a full-time vocation. My husband Michael is my biggest supporter.
Creative non-fiction, essays, ghostwriting, magazine and trade journal articles, and copywriting, pay the bills. In my spare time I fully immerse myself in the writing of my novels. I have two mysteries in process.

I'm also attempting to paint portraits of my grandsons. I can't seem to get the five year old's mouth just right. My daughter says it's because his mouth isn't running...
