What is the aim or goal of your writing: "I would like to publish the children's books I've completed and the novel I'm writing and then write more! Also, I feel that writing is a wonderful means of self-healing, revelation and expression. I would like to see more creative writing workshops offered to school-age children and made available to older people in the community."
