Inspiration

I love writing. It is a great way to break away from the real world and relax. I have written 20 other stories and many poems. I will be publishing these over the next few years. Someone asked me once why I write and I said, "because I have to." There are stories that come into my head and I have to write them down or they will not leave. So to have peace and calm in my life I have to write.
