What inspires you to write?
My life and its experiences inspire me to write. I started writing in 2019 when I became ill, and I knew I had to write my story. Four years later, I have now published my memoir hoping it will help so many out there with the same struggles.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am a seat of the pants writer. I used Word to write, having to modify margins. I did not create character sketches. My book came to life, writing night after night, by just chronologically and humerously putting the events of my life together.
