"Have you always wanted to write?"
No. Because it has only been 11 years since I started writing and that is not even half of my life.
I started writing when I was 14, giving up my doodles of outfits for words that weren't as superficial as drawing a dress that seemed pretty on someone with a perfect curve ratio.
I wrote extensively when I was 16-17, thanks to the world of fanfiction and Harry Potter. I ventured into original fiction while in college and since then, I never looked back.
If you ask me, the perfect career would be of me being a co-owner of a cafe that helps with the baking/cooking before retreating to sit at my favourite table with a tall glass of iced latte so I can work on my book.
I want to be a writer, I want to be read, I want to be quoted one day when I am no longer alive.
Wouldn't that be grand? To live in the memories of your readers? People who read those words you written a generation ago.
To live longer than physically possible.

Thank you for answering Hanis... I always like to know what inspires people to write...
For me I have always wanted to write but never did until a year after my ex raped me, it gave me back my voice, now I don't want to think where I would be without it...
You are truly an amazing writer :)
Well, haven't you been busy with writing? Why is it when I'm busy you go nuts, and when I'd like to read something, you retreat?? >:[
I kid. Although I probably can't catch up with all your posts, it's fun reading up anyway :) And to know where you began! Kinda takes the mystery out of it, but seeing as you have humble beginnings (which is me being kind to fanfiction :P ) kinda gives me hope that I'll be as good someday ♥ Happy writing!
