Well, let’s see…My name is Diane Richardson, I’m 30 something years old and I began writing approximately 4 1/2 years ago. It took a failing marriage and a bout with depression to discover this creative side of myself but I’ll never regret all that I went through to get where I am now.

I am currently writing for the up and coming vocalist Tracie J. I consider myself very fortunate to have met and worked with some very talented artists and composers. The internet has been a great place to meet and work with some extremely talented writers too. Thanks to all of you who have been a great source of inspiration!

1998 was a great year for me! Two of my songs won "Song Of The Year" in the Golden State Country Music Association’s competition,"He Can't Forget Her" and "Follow The Arrows". I can’t wait to see what 1999 has in store for me! Well, that's enough about that! I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to sign my guestbook! *smile*

*Update*
4/23/99 "Soon As I Get Over You" receives an honorable mention in American Songwriter Magazine's Lyric Contest! Look for it in the May/June issue.

*Update*
December 1999: "Best Day Of My Life" receives an honorable mention in Goodnight Kiss Musics' lyric contest. The song is also being considered for a television series by another publisher. Keeping my fingers crossed! :-)
