    Inspiration

    I have been making up stories since I was very small, with my cousin as my first avid audience. After starting school, I began writing my imaginings down on paper. It wasn't until I was given a typewriter that I decided to become a writer "for real" when I grew up. I find inspiration in the little things going on all around me. I never know when something will trigger an idea that morphs into a full-blown story.
