Q: What made you become a writer?

A:  I think a true writer can’t stop writing.  They love words, and stories, and the way they sing together.  I have been a story teller since my early days (just as my mother!) and have always loved a great tale.  But I have also loved to read, and not just novels, but poetry.  I love to weave a passage together to evoke a mood in a narrative piece, to write songs and poems, and how language can make us laugh out loud, or even cry when used correctly.   I have to write stories like a singer needs to sing, and a chef needs to cook.  I can’t NOT write, and even if I’m not writing…I’m writing. Or at least working on a story.    And, when I saw my daughter and son do the same thing, I realized, for the first time…I’m not weird!  (Okay, maybe a little, but I’m okay with that!) 

If you have a writing or publishing question (If I can’t answer it, I’ll track down someone who can!) please write to me at: susan@mybooktherapy.com and I’ll see if I can answer it!
