    Inspiration

    I guess I was born to write, but at such a young age I didn't know what to do with those voices in my head. I thought I would be a singer first, then an actress, and law interested me, but it was writing that stuck with me. For years, I wrote and put my manuscripts in my drawer so no one could see them. Someone asked me how I became a writer, well, you simply have no choice. For me, I saw movies in my head all the time. When I watched movies, I would try to change the story up so it was all mine. Eventually, I bought an old typewriter and began a slow and long career towards writing. Writers write because they have to. That's all I can say....I have to.
