I have been learning about writing and storytelling by going to writing courses, workshops and conference for the last several years. I have had the privilege to work with great writers and mentors along my writing journey, including Zelda Lockhart, Alice Osborn and Chris Abani.
This year was an amazing year. I have been actively working towards my vision for Rinconez, which I started last year. I was accepted into my first writing residency. I even ventured out of my comfort zone and started writing poetry, tweeting micro-fiction, posting on Facebook and connecting with the writing and blogging community. I have discovered and read the work of many talented artists, writers and poets. I have learned so much from the larger writing and blogging community, not just about writing but about community.
I am thankful for being welcomed into the writing community. I am thankful for every writer who dares to write and bare their soul. I am thankful for you for reading this post.
In Loving Gratitude,
Elizabeth Zertuche
