The Writerly Life

Gerry Wilson is a lover of beaches, mountains, sunsets, changing leaves, bare trees against a winter sky. Good books and music and food. Movies. Travel. Photography. Family histories and old cemeteries. Her family and her faith. She’s a gourmet cook (sometimes), a fair gardener, a terrible housekeeper.

Gerry’s love of story defines her. She relishes the late nights, the evolution of an idea, the struggle for the right word, the roller coaster from anguish to elation and back again until the words work, a character’s voice in her head becomes real on the page, or a moment of clarity finally comes.

If you’re a writer, you know what she means.
