    Interesting things you've listed. I find it fascinating that you don't like to write--but love having written. Do you think it's because you worked for two decades in the publishing industry?

    Stephen King? :-) I admire him, love his non-fiction "On Writing" but don't like anything else he's written. :-) lol...

    Fascinating people, we are :-) !

      Hi Teresa, thanks for stopping by :) To answer your question, writing is hard work, plain and simple. I don't like hard work but I like the sense of accomplishment it brings when I'm done. Does that make sense? LOL

      As for Stephen King, yes, his book "On Writing" is fabulous. I think his last name is very appropriate. He's a king to me :)

Andrea Buginsky has enjoyed writing since she was a kid. Once in college, she decided to turn it into a career and earned a BA in journalism. She has been writing freelance for several years now.

You have moments where you have the time to write but no idea what to write. You even have times when a huge deadline is looming and you’re working day and night to meet it. These obstacles and more can make your writing life a hard one. Not to mention the publicizing and advertising that comes with it. But you suck it up and do what you have to do for your writing career because it’s what you really want. T

Bullied and despised, Lola still has the support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose. Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”. Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to control the new super power. The possibilities are endless.
