At an early age, I used to doodle and scribble scrabble on paper. Upon learning to write, I found myself doing so on paper. Arriving in the teenage world, writing had become the best way for me to express myself. I had chronic anger issues. A therapist suggested I write how I felt and why. Feeling freedom as the pen glided across the paper, jotting down my emotions and the causes turned into something wonderful. On days I didn’t want to be bothered with anyone, I would write. Fictional stories were formed. I didn’t publish them; I kept the stories to myself.
After having surgery in my armpits, in 2015, I decided to share with the world my creativity. For me, writing is therapeutic and comforting. It’s more than a paycheck. It’s how I deal with the hand life has dealt me (medically speaking). I create diverse storylines so I can research and learn more. I must admit writing has saved me in more ways than I can count.
Not only is writing good for me, I love entertaining readers. I place readers on an emotional rollercoaster. I enjoy having readers thinking one thing is going to happen when in reality something larger is brewing. The art of playing around with words is one of the highlights of my day. I’m a woman of mystery when it comes to creating a book. I love the expression on new readers of mine saying “Oh I already know what’s going to happen”. With a wicked smile on my face, I simply reply, “You have no idea what’s going to happen. I’ll patiently wait for your message in my inbox within a ay or two.”
Overall, for me, writing is the best way to express ones feelings and to entertain those who need a little excitement in their lives. At one point, I was at my lowest because the doctors nor I could control the chronic issue of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, which I still deal with to this day. I found more people who suffered from this very illness. My books, which I had a character battle with HS, helped them through the pain and constant feelings of never having a normal life. I write fictional stories with realistic drama to aid those who maybe dealing with said topic. I give them hope, courage, and a number of silly moments. I thrive on knowing I placed a smile on someone’s face after a long day of dealing with doctors, unhealthy relationships, etc.
