Since it is a memoir, the idea came from the life I was living. I thought about writing a book about it because I was running up against so many social taboos, foolish advice, and self-imposed limitations that I was inspired to blow them away.

I've been inspired to write since I was five years old and I don't remember what the trigger was. I think I was born this way.

I am developing my blog, writing some pieces which will accompany the release of my book; then I have a book project in mind.

Remember that most of the writing happens in your head, whether awake or sleeping. Develop it in your head. Do it one step at a time. Listen. Stephen King says "read and write" but I never had time to read or write so it all happened in my head.

I'm doing what I love, and that includes teaching people to write, and meeting new people, supporting independent bookstores, and having a schedule without regular commitments.

I almost never have writer's block. I spent so many years unable to write -- raising children, working overtime, etc. -- that being able to sit down and write is a luxury to me. I also don't think I am the Oracle of Delphi, as many writers seem to. This is just what I like to do.
