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!
