Desire to write. As a child there were books that filled my heart and mind with wonder and joy or fear and anger of a character. My English teacher encouraged me to read the work of famous classic authors. I love music and study the life of the composers. But my mind prefers to express a story. The loss of my brother when he was 19 needed to come out. My love for him was remembered. Writing about how profound life can be gives me that desire.
