What is the aim or goal of your writing: I think the success I have is due to being willing to share, at a meaningful level, the emotions and experiences I have had as a woman, wife, mother/grandmother, and to being a caring listener. My work ethic is to just keep at it, to do my best at what I love to do, audience or no.
