Inspiration

I've always been an active reader. It's the activity I enjoy most. I particularly like romance and mystery fiction. So that's what I choose to write. However, as both a writer and an artist, I try experimenting. I love writing poetry as well as health articles. Diversity keeps my mind active. My inspiration? A great family, supportive and loving.
