My goal for writing stories about my grandchildren is to inspire and encourage them and others to share their stories. By bringing life's memorable moments to the surface, hopefully, it will create a desire to share a story and use their imagination. We begin telling creative stories when we are young. Our stories can help the way we deal with things in our lives and the way we feel about them.
As I wrote Zamire's Stories, it took me back to the good times I experienced with my son while he was growing up. I wish I had thought to write about him back then. I still have my memories and emotions about it though. I want to do something special for the children in my life. They are the future and I want them to see a direction that is different from what they are use to. I don't recall having any writers in the family, but who knows, maybe I am not the first. I definitely hope I am not the last.
I am excited to be able read my own books to others. When I was in elementary school, the kids use to tease me because I stuttered. Maybe the proper term is stammer, I am not sure. It was humiliating, because I knew what I wanted to say; the words just wouldn't come out. It was a frustrating time in my life, but I overcame that problem and haven't stopped talking since. Back then, it would have been nice to express how I felt about the stuttering and the teasing. I don't remember which was worse.
