A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.

My experiences always influence my writing, but usually only on an emotional level. I have experienced death of a family member and it's easy to dredge up those feelings and get them on the page.

My greatest achievement so far is that I've been able to continue with my normal life. I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.

I think in most sports sometimes you need a little luck for the ball or calls to roll your way.

The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.

I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.
