Writers on Writing

An Evening with Susie Morgenstern

I probably started writing because it was the only way to get a word in with my effervescent family.
So I discovered that the only way for me to « speak » was to write.
That suited me fine because I have always loved to write and I was very lucky to discover this passion.
