Priscilla Cook

Priscilla admits to being one of the older new authors. While her stories have been shared with family and friends, she only recently dedicated herself to pursuing a writing career. Priscilla admits that life’s journey and the various adventures have varied from fantastic to “How the hell did I get here?”

She has a sense of humor and shares it freely. Priscilla mentions the idiom of an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. But she will tell you, “There is a third entity many writers have not acknowledged—the quiddity."

"The quiddity whispers in the writer’s ear about an idea for their next story, the next scene, chapter, characters, etc. It has also taken a better position than the angel or the devil. It stretches out in the ear’s curve, the bowl-shaped concha, arms behind its head, and knees crossed. From this position, its faintest whisper will be heard, even over the angel and devil arguing."

She mentions that there can be a problem with the quiddity. It doesn’t pay attention to time. It will keep her awake, wake her up in the middle of the night, and make her fix dinner late, insisting she writes the last little bit.

She can’t say when her quiddity took up residence, but she remembers sitting in a tree with other kids, making up stories at a very young age. Priscilla’s stories have always been with her, and now she wants to share them with you.
