Author: danettelynnkey

I am a writer and I publish my own books . I write books that are clean and easy to read, but always has a bit of mystery in them and a tiny bit of romance. I am a Christian and attend church regularly. I love to sew and make homemade cards. When I retire, I will be working on growing a garden and do more canning. I also live in the city right now, but will retire in the country in about 4 months. Right now, I work for State Farm insurance and will hit 30 years Feb 2019. I have three children of my own and five step children. My husband, Hal key and I have been married 30 years this past April. We both together have 22 grandchildren. I love technology and challenge myself to learn it and use it. I am in good health and plan on living till I'm 100 years old.

NO Time!

Here I am again, with my life in the way of my passions! I have finally made the decision to retire from my company of 30 years!  Big decision.  51 more working days!

BUT,  oh so happy now that I get to concentrate my time and energy on writing, blogging and reviewing books for others.  This is my passion.

So, If you’d like me to review a book or do a blog tour, contact me at yaya_key@yahoo.com or danette.key@gmail.com  OR you can message me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/writingsbydanette/  I also am on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/dashboard

I’d love to hear from you!

Have a great week!

On the edge…again

Well, writing the second in the series of On the Edge has been fun.  I can’t believe how true it is when Stephen King said the characters drive the story.  I do have an outcome, but how we get there is exactly that… driven by the characters.  I love writing and creating the characters that I create, it give me such pleasure.

Back to the writing!

Danette’s Musings

BURSTING THE CONTAINER

Faith is knowing the sun will rise,

Haven’t written anything lately about books and haven’t even really written anything lately. I realized that writing takes a lot out of you and when your focus is off it makes it harder to write. Filling in your mind with other things can make it harder to fill your mind with writing. You would think that was the deal, but filling and emptying is the writing process, right?

What do you fill your mind with?

I am currently living with very small children. My grandkids. They are so cute and sweet and especially innocent. This living situation fills my mind all the time and keeps me engaged with life, this can be good and bad. Does this fill my mind so much that I can’t empty it? Is it the same as if something is so full it can’t empty and the container continues to fill until it finally bursts?

This is a writers dream. To burst. To sit down and write a novel in a few days and empty your brain. That would be my goal too, a wonderful goal.

How do you empty all those thoughts in your head? Do you talk with your best friend, write in a journal, dream?

Share with me one thing you do to empty your thoughts. Make a comment below
Have a great week my friends!
