I started writing a book shortly after I got married in 2011. The story changed so much from when I started, and it kept getting better until it was time to query. But I started writing for my wonderful stepchildren, which share the same love for fantasy that I do. They have brought a joy to my life I never thought I would have.
While waiting to hear back from agents, I decided to write another story, but this time I wrote for me. I wrote about my country of origin, about things I thought other people should know. I quickly fell in love with it and the book wrote itself quicker than I ever thought I'd be able to write.In four months I had a new draft I was head over heels with compared to the six years I spent on the first ms, I considered it a success already.
From this experience I know I've grown as a writer as well as a reader. I've learned about my own culture and I am even more in love with writing than ever before!
"My dad always said that to me growing up, and I kept it in my heart all these years. I've wanted, and have accomplished, many things in my life; but since I started writing, his saying was what kept me going chapter after chapter."
