Allow Me to Introduce You to…

December 14, 2017 by Elizabeth Calawa

I have been found and lost within music. Certain songs feel like an amplifier plugged directly into my emotions. The bass thumps in time with my pulse. The melody sends me adrift, floating along with the lyrics. When I’m creating, a song can transform into a scene, straight into my pages. Her. Him. A touch. A whisper. A smile. A kiss. I’m there, an observer to it all—capturing it with the tap … [Read more...]

Be Dazzling!

February 24, 2017 by Elizabeth Calawa

You are a gift. Each and every one of you is a gift. You come in all shapes and sizes, so I encourage you to wrap yourself in whatever makes you…YOU! Want to wear a gown grocery shopping? Let the chiffon flow! Do brilliant sparkles make you smile? Then, please, layer on the bling and smile! Allow your ensemble to represent who you are, no matter how colorful, formfitting, or eccentric. … [Read more...]

I am a Writer…

July 3, 2016 by Elizabeth Calawa

“How’s the Writing Going?” If I say that I’m writing, will it make it true? If I tell you the words are finding me, will it convince them to flow? If I want it enough, will it happen? I’ve wanted to believe that by saying it, I was inviting creativity back into my life. But it was only a lie I wanted to be true. I am a writer, searching for creativity. "How's the Writing Going?" I’ve … [Read more...]

I’ve Been Waiting for You!

January 12, 2016 by Elizabeth Calawa

I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. They always seemed like work to me. And that’s not very much fun. Instead, I recognize something I learned from the previous year and allow it to influence the upcoming year. And in 2015… I learned a lot. This past year was one of the most challenging years I’ve personally experienced in a long time. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It was … [Read more...]

I am writing…

March 1, 2015 by Elizabeth Calawa

What am I writing? Jonathan Reese's tragic story. Jonathan is the most complex and controversial character to emerge from The Breathing Series. He evoked such extreme emotion from every reader, I decided his story needed to be told. His life is just as heartbreaking as Emma's and the violence even more severe. Just because the series will be written from Jonathan's point of view does not mean … [Read more...]

It Happens When It Happens…

April 19, 2014 by Elizabeth Calawa

By nature, I’m a control freak. An impulsive control freak at that. I get an idea, and I want it done. Right at that very moment. If I can see it in my head, then I want to figure out a way to make it happen. My mind never shuts off. It keeps me up at night, plaguing me with vision after vision. Insomnia and I are well acquainted. I have six stories in my head, waiting for their turn to talk to … [Read more...]
