How long have you been writing?
I've been writing for as long as I can remember. When I was 5 years old, my Dad bought my first journal, and I was glued. I have published a lot of books and ebooks. And I still find each of the books I write exciting.
What started you on the path towards publication?
What started me on the path of publication was my willingness to educate others on how to live their best life with chronic conditions. However, I am also an academic, specializing in Philosophy. So, the purpose of my writing is to help people live a good life that's not distracted and focused on being their best.
What's the biggest lesson you learned about writing?
The biggest lesson I learned about writing is that you don't have to sit down for hours to be successful. If you're having a busy week, month or year, writing even a little bit every day, or even a few times a week can add up to a lot of writing. I initially believed that I had to write for hours every day to be successful. That isn't correct at all. Slow and steady is the way to build confidence and resilience as a writer.
Why do you write?
I love teaching authors because I feel I have a lot of knowledge to share. If I can spare even one writer the misery and frustration that comes with not believing in oneself I would have fulfilled my purpose.
What is your core philosophy?
My core philosophy when it comes to teaching writing is that we can all be good writers. All we need to do is to believe in ourselves. And we become more confident by taking the time to write and develop ourselves as writers. Also, I try to teach the writers I teach not to compare themselves to others and that is not only the thief of joy but of success. No two writers are ever the same. We're all unique, and we should celebrate that.
How has your teaching changed your own work and perspective as a writer?
The way my teaching changed my own work and perspective as a writer is that it showed me that we are on different planes of development and that's okay. I initially believed that we traverse through different seasons in our writing career. Now I know that we can oscillate between beginners and mature quite often and that we never get to the point that we are completely excellent writers.
