The center of my writing career is creativity also. I have a great desire and need to take other's pain and make it better and I try to do this in my writing. I also have many things on my heart that seem to come out in my writing. I love your Starbucks analogy. I am working on a novel that is dear to my heart and I hope someday to see it published. I think my biggest problem with my writing is the fear of not being anygood. Do you think other writers have this fear? I loved your book that I won. Thank you.

Center of my writing career? hmmmm. Writing. Bringing the ancient world to life. I believe that times change yes but people don't so we can share in ancient struggles and victories that can affect our world today. But then life seems to draw me away from that center to add a different perspective…family. At times I find them colliding like balloons held in one hand. One knocks the other off center and I have to struggle to get both back under control. Some days the balloons are so full of gases, my feet don't touch the ground. Other days, I have to keep them from bursting on the stones at my feet. I guess that's life huh

Interesting one and loving the coffee metaphor as I'm sat here with my morning latte as I read (and type). At the centre of my career as a writer is my desire to express not only my creativity but the value of that creativity. I don't mean pounds and dollars here. I mean that my creative work is worthwhile. I was never going to be good at secretarial work (which I struggled to do for many years)and accountancy leaves me feeling empty (yup, tried that one too) but as a writer I can bring value and enjoyment to my readers and the audiences who see my plays.
