This Friday I'll be hosting my eleventh #FriNightReads starting at 7p MT on my author Facebook Nicole Smith's Opened Palms. It's a soul-searching devotional on how re-orientating yourself can completely change your perspective. Now, here's more from this week's featured indie author:
How did you first start writing?
I began teaching single adults at church and trying to come up with workbooks and information for them. I was looking for something that they could relate to but also challenge them. I could not find what I wanted in the bookstores. I decided if I could not find them, then maybe no one else could either. So, I decided to write them myself and kill two birds with one stone. After developing a taste for the writing, I just kept on and have not stopped since. I have begun dabbling in novel writing also and I continue to do Bible studies.
Why do you love it?
It’s not just relaxing but it feeds my brain. I am the type of person that needs my mind stimulated. I feel like I need to have things going in at all times. My passion is teaching and I write what I teach. I am loving what I do and doing what I love. It checks all the boxes for me when it comes to challenging but rewarding. It is just a fun way to keep using my brain.
More on Nicole Smith:
