I love to start something from scratch, and then mold and shape it into a finished project. From creating two minute stories for people on the street, to creating jewelry, crafts, stained glass, pottery, music, crazy art projects… the list of things I like to create (and buy all the necessary materials for) keeps getting longer amidst my family’s exasperated groans. I’ve always considered myself a creator, so transitioning to writer was not as grueling as it might have been.


All I needed was to make that “someday” into “today.” There seem to be a lot of people who say, “Someday I’ll write a book.” For me, the feeling tickled, moved into an incessant knocking and finally became a dull roar. As an avid reader, writing a novel had always tickled the back of my mind. Others fall into it and discover its inherent joy. Some people have always known they wanted to write.
