There is a complete absence of discontent when I write. Writing is very healing for me. My first book was my memoir. When you write your memoir it allows you to see your life as a whole instead of in bits and pieces.
What authors do you read when you aren’t writing?
I love great thinkers like Viktor E. Frankl. His book “ Man’s Search For Meaning “ has given me great insights. Dr. Wayne Dyer is another of my favorite authors. I applied much of his wisdom to my life experiences.
