When I first began to write, I was told that it takes about a million words to become a “real” writer. I set out to write for the local newspaper, The Conta Costa times, first as a “stringer”, then reporter, and finally a columnist.   Meanwhile, I continued to write articles and stories for magazines, many reflecting my new interests as a young mother and teacher.
