JoAnne Meyers with a Giveaway


NEVER GIVE UP

For as long as I can remember, I have had an artistic flare-whether that be for writing, painting, sewing or drawing. I recall as a child how much I enjoyed drawing. The writing came later. My seventh grade English teacher was Mrs. Henderson-a young mother and wife. She gave us a writing assignment and after gifting me with an A+ told me I should consider writing as a career. She meant as a journalist. I did not take her advice and become a journalist (one of my many misgivings). My mind went toward other things as many young girls dream of-a husband, home, and family of my own.

I put my love for writing and painting on hold for years. I unfortunately married a man who like my mother never encouraged me to be artistic. It was not until my children were grown and I no longer had a husband, that I went back to my first love-art. I got a late start, but always encouraged my children and others to partake of artistic endeavors. I now have six books under contract with two publishing houses.

So my words to you all, is that no matter what road you choose, never forget your passion, and always keep it close to heart. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from enjoying your natural talents. You might need to put art on a temporary hold, but never ever give up.

  1. You have an exciting array of stories and novels! For whatever reason, I'm attracted to your non-fiction-yes, I read more than fabulous romances.
    Many fiction writers will find a non-fiction story to tell, and then state they will never do it again. What is your feeling on this for you? Was the research exciting?
    I wish you the best!

    1. Hi Dawn, yes the research was exhausting. I have another true crime novels called Twisted Love, being released later this month by Black Rose Writing. There is a lot of work in putting together a true crime story, but yes I think the headaches are worth it. Thank you for commenting.
