As a writer, you get to bring attention to something without preaching. I don't believe in being didactic. So if you dramatize something, you automatically bring attention to it if people read it.

Sometimes I cheat and buy things I used to make from scratch and just doctor them up.

People need to be re - sometimes we need to reinvent ourselves and then get reacquainted with our better selves.

I don't let negative criticism, for the most part, bother me.

Writing is the only place I can be myself and not feel judged.

I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.

I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.
