There was probably something as a child I wanted to express, something unsaid that I needed to share.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't think I had anything particular to say, but I thought I might have something to say to children.
As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.
I started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear.
As a child I was not allowed to express my feelings, so I had to go back through therapy and express the child's pain.
I wanted to tell my story in a way I haven't done before, things I've been going through in my life.
I loved to write when I was a child. I wrote, but I always thought it was something that you did as a child, then you put away childish things.
Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.
Expressing my feelings and then the opportunity to share it with others is just such a gift.
You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.
As a child, I would demand that visitors to our house tell me a story. I was intensely interested in everything - still am.
