Description
Read to journey through a first life, processed in internal silence through writings of fiction and creative non-fiction, of poetry, prose, and narrative essay, to process, to connect, to be inventive, to grow, to understand and to heal. Silence of My Inceptive Self, Collected Writings, Volume One, is a hybrid, mixed genre collection of writing compiled over 20 years, but mostly written during the maturation years of millennials and Generation Z, for a mature audience, all from a relatable, but tender perspective.
L. Smith's collection of writing is art imitating life that heaves through dating, flirting, desire, love, marital bliss, family, first-time motherhood, raising a preschooler, that plunges into heartbreak, police misconduct, untimely deaths, terminal illness, marital frustration, scandal, black maternal healthcare disparity, and mom guilt, and that leads to the elevating treasure of God's ever-present grace therein.

While fulfilling her writing minor credits at Texas State University, she reconnected with her childhood passion for creative writing, was challenged to write short stories, and began writing creatively as an outlet while experiencing the hills and valleys of young adult life. She continues to write poems, prose, fiction, and non-fiction that reflect life's hills and valleys and that give voice to social injustice. She has traveled internationally and across the US as an Air Force brat, and later, domestically, as a technical trainer. She has freelanced for central Texas newspapers and magazine and taught English, reading, and history in various central Texas schools, including University of Texas Charter schools. Currently living in Austin, Texas, brought there as a teen with her family per her late loving father's military duty, she is a divorced mother of one beautiful, resilient daughter, a daughter of a ride-or-die mama, a dog mom of a geriatric, anti-social Chihuahua, and a life-long student of writing acumen, with incredible gratitude for teaching writing professors.
