Writing

Writing and reading are among my first loves. I have worked as a journalist and have also had my poetry, articles, and short stories published in various journals and newspapers. I have listed blog posts I’ve written on this site as well as via flyturtlefly and lissabliss that seemed to resonant most with folks below. I hope you enjoy your journey into my writing world.

  6. Lissa – Really like your style. Am intrigued that you do creative and medical writing.

    The turtle/butterfly metaphor for intro/extroversion is brilliant.

    Also digging the images … are those yours as well?

  9. I’m so sorry that I haven’t had time to read lately (my most recent post explains). I’ve honestly missed reading, and I can’t wait to really get back so I can catch up!

  10. lissa,
    your writing is quite amazing.
    anytime I read and then have my mind wander back over the words for hours, I know I’ve hit pay dirt.
    good luk with the nursing exam – i too went into a medical field wanting to do nothing but write and photograph the world.
    it was a good idea and paid the bills for 20 years
    but now I’m free to write and shoot and just be.

    if you ever get that literary mag gig, will you publish one of my poems? they are good ones. (if you don’t like your own writing, who else will???) 🙂

  11. I know you’ll fall in love with Asheville. It has such a relaxed atmosphere. We ate outside everyday, and there was music all around us and people painting. It’s honestly one of my favorite places now, and I think we’ll be going back often.

    I hope to catch up on reading this week!

  13. Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I got a new job at a hotel working third shift, so I mostly sleep all day–well, I try to. 🙂 I’m working six days in a row, Saturday being the last of the days, so hopefully I’ll be around sometime after that.
