Writing sustains me; it is my place to go when life doesn’t make sense. I strongly believe that if everyone took the time to write down their thoughts, their feelings, before they acted them out, the world would be a better place for it. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? A walk in nature with my dog is my best remedy. What is your favorite time to write? Five am What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Write everyday no matter what What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? That I am free to write what I want, even if it gets censured. I can still write.
