About Ruth...
On Writing
I write to understand more about the world around me.
I expand on ideas through research and listening to experts on that topic, but I often start with what I already know or suspect.
I believe it's our job as writers to produce the most accurate account of what we know while remaining open to learning things we never knew, we never knew.
There is a great responsibility in storytelling, and I aim to tell my story well.
On Community
As a writer, mother, daughter, wife, and deep thinker, I understand the need for small groups of women to gather together.
We need people to share life with whom we trust.
We don't have to understand or compare our story to someone else's; every experience is uniquely our own, and no matter where we've been, we all deserve someone by our side as we take steps forward.
~Meet Ruth~
I began writing as a little girl, and someone told me that writing is a fun hobby and not a way to make a living. Life taught me that to live, I must write. So here I am, writing and following my dreams, excited about where they may take me.
My life experiences feed into the themes I write about. I don't believe writers should have to fit into boxes or follow the norm of past authors and publishers. And everybody has a story to tell. I want to tell mine well.
I encourage myself and other writers to Imagine where our stories can take readers if only we are brave enough to set them free into the world. Let's explore our stories together.
Thank you for visiting this space--have a look around, and feel free to contact me. Remember to always chase your rainbows--you never know where your dreams might lead you.
