For myself, I write for the joy of writing. For those characters that live inside my head to find their way out and come to life. For my creativity to transition from being only ideas to reality. But, my mission, is to encourage others... everyone, to read. From the earliest possible age, and continuing after that, I want everyone to read, to experience the wonder of words, to know and wonder at their own incredible imaginations, to take words and see what comes from them themselves.
