Tell us about yourself and what inspired you to start writing.
I feel like I have been writing since the womb. That is what I tell people. I started writing for organizations at a young age. My writing took a more serious development after a friend committed suicide. I was trying to work out my emotions from the tragic event and also my own healing journey. I started writing. It took me ten years to write the character poetry piece, that is in my first novel: Obsolete Sea Voyage Into the Younger Self. As time unfolded, I weaved healing with suspense into a poetic novel.
Describe your writing process? Is there anything unique about it?
Indeed. My writing process is authentic and truthful. I would state that the process of writing given the content of my novels, has been rather hard. As far as form, I write for freedom and clarity first. I will write out a poem in its traumatic form. Fully raw and powerful. I go back before formatting for my books and conceal certain events, change pronouns and more. This is unique because I want to show integrity.
I do not edit the normal way an author edits. I write poetry. Upon sitting down to edit I edit one section at a time. My books are broken down into parts not chapters. I do not edit to take away. I only edit for grammatical errors. I believe that because my writing ability is a gift, that it is not to be taken away or added to.
Have you published any books or do you have a desire to do so?
Book One: (back of book)
What would you do if your boat was sinking, or it was shipwrecked? Would you take the necessary actions to survive? Please join me in my first ever work being published: Obsolete. Where we go on a journey together across the high seas and profound mental journey. Madame Counselor R. S. Renard takes us on a voyage all of her own by traveling. Along her travels she picks up passengers all over the world who over time leak out information from their past. Will it be too much for them to handle? Can Madame R. S. Renard use her therapeutic skillset to help them recover and grow? Hidden clues give way to question and set up the story. Won’t you come in the seas of healing in this poetic courage from the characters? May you find healing in your life if needed.
