Jane Daly is the author of two books on lives hard issues - the loss of a child and the challenges of caring for your elderly parents. Here is the link to the Show Notes page for Jane's interview with highlights, quotes, her books, and links to her websites and social media connections.

As a young mother she took a correspondence writing course and always knew someday she'd be a writer. She started writing seriously in 2008. Over the years she has written magazine articles, a column, flash fiction, a novel, and nonfiction. Writing articles and the column taught her to write tight and to specific short word counts. She describes flash fiction as fun and challenging because of the strict word count. Her writing has led to speaking opportunities about writing topics. In the interview, we talk about the hard issues she writes about - grieving through the death of their son from cancer and working through the seasons of caregiving elderly parents, which many of us will experience. We talk through gaining confidence to write, her writing processes, how life gives us topics to write about, the challenges of writing, the importance of a tribe for feedback and support, and more.
