Judith Pettijohn McConnell

Author of the week, it’s my pleasure to introduce Judith Pettijohn McConnell!

Judith had a lot to say so come and find out exactly what it was!

Hello Judith, how wonderful to finally get to interview! Let’s start with you telling me a little about yourself.

I live in a Chicago suburb near my real estate broker daughter, son in law and grandchildren. My son and his wife live near Sacramento where he teaches first grade; especially teaches his students to love to write and they are good at it. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, including my cousins; while not writing which is most of the time. I delve deeply into genealogy and play Scrabble whenever possible. I have actually played against myself when no opponent is available.

What got you into writing?

Okay, I started at age six, my handwriting evolved to print form now and wrote notes or verses on the inside of greeting cards to my Grandparents (as I lived with them). Mostly, because Hallmark doesn’t ever say what I want to say the way I want to say it.

That’s so sweet. What’s the main thing you love and hate about writing?

Truly, love everything about writing. Marketing not so much.
