"
Was it the desire to make money that drove me to write? No.
My family and my teachers all said that there was no future in writing.I started writing and I continue to write because it gives me pleasure and gives meaning to my existence.
If money were the motive, I could have stopped writing ages ago and saved myself having to put up with invariably negative reviews.

As for me, I write because.. it hurts.
It hurts if I don’t get all these words out of my head.
I didn’t choose the words, the words chose me.
