What is the aim or goal of your writing: SATA says, "A story is in my head long before it ever finds its way to paper. By the time it finally makes it that far, I have spent sleepless nights with it, washed dishes with it, walked in the snow with it. When I finally write the story down, however, I will probably write it in Lexington, Michigan, where my parents still have a red farmhouse on Lake Huron. I have a window there that looks out on the lake. It is a time of being alone, but I am alone with my characters and my story, and by then I am ready."
