Writing
 

Writing is how I make sense of my world. Itís the hardest thing I do and also the easiest. When I complete a story, itís like leaving behind for the reader a path Iíve worn through tall grass."Donít worry," I want to tell the gentle person following behind."Iíve scared the snakes outómost of them, anyway!"
