Elizabeth Mitchell began writing stories at a young age. She suspects her mother encouraged her in order to keep her out of her hair, although her mother might have regretted that encouragement when some controversial stories resulted in phone calls from concerned teachers. In college, Elizabeth became fascinated with the Middle Ages, which was described as a “starry night” by one of her professors. So began a trek through languages and legends that informs her narrative non-fiction and historical fiction, as well as her blogs. You can find her at her blogs: Elizabeth Anne Mitchell ( http://elizabethannemitchell.com ) and Leavekeeping (http://belledamesansmerci.wordpress.com) on Twitter (@EMitchellwriter),

You knocked this one out of the park, Elizabeth! This is such a thoughtful, inspirational post; “get out of your own way” is brilliant. I really needed this post; thanks so much.

Not enough coffee for me this morning; my comment is for your “Figuring Out What Works” inspirational post but your bio is also inspirational.
