We as a whole (people) will often create an escape mechanism. My escape mechanism is writing. As a writer, and because I have that gifting. It would take me away to a fantasy world that I myself have created of make believe characters. These characters I myself could control. Whether they be happy, sad, confused, "rich or poor," I myself could choose their destiny, "and if I choose to, I could end their lives in whatever manor suited me. My writing has made me happy, so much so, that I could hardly wait for my fingers to touch the key board and send me to a world of creativity, in writing. Writing has made me happy, has made me sad, and often times, I would laugh so hard at what I had wrote that I couldn't wait to see how the next chapter would pan out.

People would ask me why I write. It is my passion, so that if I took the money element out of it, I would continue to write. I don't know what the Lord has in store for me, but what I do know is that I want to be the best at what I do. I've been writing now for about ten years. For a number of years I was writing plays, but since my daughter's death in 2017, I have been consumed with writing. Whether it be poetry, wise sayings or recently my first book of "Pat's Salt &Pepper Nuggets". Whatever the reason, I'm glad to take the time to escape into a world of fun in writing.
