I was diagnosed with
clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband
within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care,
coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up
a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have
found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only
for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big
difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in
perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn't open mail,
talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness
surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn't need
to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I
started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into
which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to
share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said
that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my
books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true
for every writer out there. Please don't ever let anyone tell you
different.
I read books as well
as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have
created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the
strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who
writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to
today...
