What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I have always enjoyed reading, especially non-fiction material. I like for my brain to be stimulated. Writing is a natural extension of that. Sometimes, when my thoughts are flowing, my hands are flying all over the keyboard and my thoughts are not yet connected. The reward often comes later during the proofreading part when I get to connect those thoughts and something cohesive comes out of that work. It's like taking a long journey. The first few steps are difficult, but once you reach the end, you can look back upon the journey with a feeling of satisfaction. Writing, to me, is like taking that journey.
What do your fans mean to you?
I only hope they like what I have shared. I hope they look back on reading this book and feel like they got something more from it than just the words on the page. I hope they can sense that I wrote this book in the spirit of caring about other people.
