When did you first start writing?
I first started writing at 13 years old. I was observant and frustrated with a lot of things in life and journal writing wasn't satisfying my expressive needs. I started writing poetry and short stories as a way to express myself and escape from the mundane life of my teen years.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
The greatest joy of writing for me is being able to inspire others through my journey. And to provide an escape for readers just as writing has provided an escape for me.
