I like to write because written words paint a visual picture unlike any other. Some people like painting; others music. The paper (or whatever else I'm writing on) is my canvas; words are my paint. In my life, I really can't control anything. I was a happy Year 4 student halfway through the school year when my parents dropped the bombshell. We were moving about 450kms down the coast. I was so sad; I thought about running away. I realised that no matter what, I couldn't make my family suffer. I ended up suffering; the trauma triggered a mass immune system problem in my body (you can read more about it on my profile page).That's when I got into writing. I could control what was happening; more importantly, I could make a happy ending. Everyone deserves one. :)
