Welcome to The Word ‘Mage blog!

I’m Shari Smothers, and I’m glad you’ve come by.

The Break Room

If the main website is the work area, then this is the break room. Hopefully, you and I will be able to relax and share some insights and experiences. The goal is to present the writer behind the work, to come from behind the curtain of professionalism and give handshakes and hugs. This is my interactive area where I can tell you about stuff that happens as relates to The Word ‘Mage work experience. (A link to the website is at the top of the sidebar. See? Over to your right. Up. There.)

Other Writing

My other blogs are for creative writing, and general writing life. Some things may change over time, but my passion for writing is not one of them. It won’t dissipate and I have never been able to shake it. So I embrace it and eek out these spaces to let my voice ring out. The “Connect with Me” area in the sidebar indexes my web presence right now. If there is a media you would like to use other than the blog to contact me, please look me up. You email me at ssmothers@thewordmage.com—I’ll respond promptly.

The Invitation

It’s not the book I’m talking about here. Although, that is a great book, by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. The premise is similar: I invite you to share in this space. You’re welcome to give me feedback and input on my content. And, by relation, you are welcome to share your experiences as well. If there’s something you’d like to see, let me hear from you. If there’s something you think I should leave out, I’d like to hear about that too.
