Writing and Poetry

Why writers write

Obviously, some writers write as a career, but before that … before it was a job, it was a passion. A writer has an innate desire to put words on paper; for those who write not expecting our ship to come in, it is for moments when we are told that our writing inspired them, made them think, or blessed them.

I am sharing a few comments with you that every writer needs to hear … words that inspire us to keep writing. Your words let us know we can make a difference or make someone feel something real.

Following are comments written to or spoken to me. These comments encourage me to keep writing.

“I took Sunshine in the Weeds to my deck this morning and smiled, laughed, and cried into my coffee. So many emotions because Debbie’s words are so good.”

“Started your book this morning and I can hardly put it down! Soo many of these resonate with me. Right now, ,”What Do You Want? Is where I am in my life.”

“Thanks for sending me your book. I am sorry I missed your stop at the library. I am inspired by your words and ordered one for my daughter, and daughter-in-law for Christmas.”

Then today I forgot my purse and had to go back to retrieve it from the chair in the local coffee shop. A gentleman who had recently lost his lovely wife told me that a friend purchased Sunshine in the Weeds as a gift for his wife during her illness. She finished it and felt that it was a blessing.

These words lift my heart and encourage me to write. We love to hear from our readers. We want to make a difference.

Stay tuned for Christmas deals and updates on the novel collaboration I am working on with Hazel Hart!

Happy Fall
