Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
At the age of 8, I entered my school's writing competition and won with my first poem, 'Fish'.
As a relatively shy child, the recognition and encouragement of my English teacher coupled with encouragement from my family helped me to come out of my shell and fall in love with writing.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
It's fair to say that writing has gotten me through some tough times.
I've never had writer's block thank goodness and am never without at least a notebook and pen wherever I go.
Writing's biggest joy is the challenge and bliss of trying to encapsulate what I perceive to be the abundant beauty in this world, which we often ignore or take for granted.
