About Me
Hello Everyone,

I'm DeBorah, a fiction novelist from Pennsylvania. I've been professionally writing for about two years; and believe me, it is my most favorite thing to do. I love using Visual Thesaurus. It's a wonderful tool for anyone to help improve their vocabulary. Can any of you suggest a program to assist with writing dialogue? Or any other program to assist one with improving their writing.

Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Favorite Word:

can-do
I love this word because it is a testament to who I am and how I feel. I like to challenge myself because I can-do all things through Christ who strenghtens me.

Least Favorite Word:

unable
There are very few things that I am UNABLE to do, if it's of interest to me. Many people are unable because they take a self-defeatist attitude. They don't look to the source of their power.
