My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.

Writing Group Tonight
I have to say that I unqualifiedly love my writing group for accepting me back after a long absence (this is a group I've been with for 20 plus years). I just want to say that I brought in the first seven pages of my Asha book and they were blown away. It was quite validating. I've been in a struggle to get back to it because of the addict's shenanigans, but feel inspired to keep working. That is what a good writing group is for.
