In the Quiet

July 27, 2026 by Valerie Flynn Leave a Comment

A metal sculpture, with the word silence.

It’s a Thursday night and I’m online with my Writers Group. We’re writing together on our various projects. No one is speaking. The view out my window is calm, still trees and grass becoming green due to spring. My family is resting. No one needs me. They are used to my writing schedule with my online writers group.

In June, I had my 50th birthday, and that milestone made me think, "What do I want Continue Reading

Choosing My Why

April 12, 2025 by Valerie Flynn Leave a Comment

Manual: The Power of Why is the title with a box that says 77 Human Needs embossed on the box to the right.

It has been a few years since I wrote The Next Piece, a blog post about beginning to take writing seriously. So what has changed and transpired over these four years? I unfortunately didn't keep up my daily writing habit of writing for at least 15 minutes a day. Consistency is not my strong suit. On the bright side, I did join an online writers group.
