My first writing experience came over twenty years ago, when I was part of writing a Christmas play for the church we attended. The play was a success, but I never gave much thought to writing after that. Then in 2000 I wanted to send a friend an online greeting, but I could not find any that suited me, or relayed the message that I had in mind. At that point I decided to write my own message and from that came my first Christian poem. I discovered that I enjoyed writing and continued to write poetry occasionally. Then a year later I decided to try writing short stories, and from that developed an intense love of writing.
