How is it possible for a stay-at-home mother of ten children to excel with painting and then with writing? How can the world need the stories of someone so uneducated in the writer's world? Encouragement for writing was always there for me so I did not hesitate to write when something triggered my interest. I've collected all the bibs and bobs of my writing and put them in book form. A lot about my feelings and stories of people who have turned up in my life, and throughout the years I have been making up and telling my brothers original stories when we were young, writing essays at school, reciting poetry, I have been in plays, writing letters back home and writing in diaries. I have been honing this discipline all the time without knowing it. And I must say, throughout my life everything I have done was honest.
