Writing and Books are my passion

[celinerm29]

My name is Celine and I am a female from Connecticut. I love to read the classics, a good romance, a ghost story, a gothic tale, and autobiographies of public figures I find fascinating.

I play the guitar and banjo and I like to travel. I also love to raise plants.

I have been writing since I was a kid and I love to write poetry, short stories and children's books.

Thanks for your welcome. I wrote a ghost story for children-a book, entitled "Olivia MacAllister, Who Are You?" and it was published back in 2004. Now I am going to send it to a second publisher along with my sequel to it. It is so hard to sell books though especially the economy being what it is and it is hard to get kids to read. When I was a kid, I loved to sit and read. My Mom was always an avid reader and she still is. So is my sister. I think there is nothing more relaxing than to make a cup of tea and sit and read.

Right decision to be in this community …We have the same passion I used to write poems when I was in high school and read inspiring stories online hope we have exchange of opinions in the coming days.

Hi

When I was in high school I took a course in Creative Writing because I always loved to write and I started sending things off to magazines and journals. Some were very encouraging while others were a bit on the mean side but I didn't let it get me down and I kept writing and writing. I took more writing courses in college and after quite a few years of submitting and getting rejections, I got my first poem published with Night Roses. From there on, I kept getting publishe but I got rejections too. It's a tough business but when you love to write you just don't give up your dream.

Hope to hear back from you.

Welcome to BookTalk.org.

I absolutely love the sound of the Banjo!

Hi Chris,

It's a fun instrument to play. It has such a unique sound and I love to just sit and play.

Have you ever recorded yourself playing? I'd love to hear if you're not shy about your playing.

When I get settled in our new condo, I will make a recording and you can let me know where to send it. My pen pal in Australia wants me to do the same thing. I play the guitar too.
