Qn 3: Out of all the books in the world, and all the authors, which are your favourite and why?
As a marriage and family therapist helping people of all ages with anxiety and trauma, I love books that provide practical help for those who are struggling in life. Some examples are books by Brene Brown or Kristin Neff. I find their self-help books to be inspirational and innovative in providing practical tools and fresh perspectives that can be useful throughout life. My personal goal in writing is to help people live their best lives and reach their full potential.
Qn 4: What guidance would you offer to someone new, or trying to enhance their writing?
The best advice I can give to a new writer is to practice, as well as read, a lot! Writing regularly in a journal, creating short stories by using your life as an example, or writing for school assignments, are all helpful ways in learning how to write more effectively. Reading will help you improve your vocabulary and introduce you to new ways of communicating. These are also both great outlets and avenues towards deeper self-reflection and learning.
I also recommend that you write freely, knowing that your first attempt is going to be a rough draft, then come back to it later to edit. This kind of editing can be done as many times as you like to make it exactly how you want it. It is also helpful to have someone else proofread your work in order to have another set of eyes on it and to provide constructive criticisms. Most of all, have fun with your writing…it is very gratifying once you are finished.
