About The Author...
Hello,
I'm happy to share with you, a very passionate side to me. I started out on my writing path in High School, I embraced a gift I was born with. I loved taking classes in both arts and writing, both strengths within myself and a very creative side of producing something both beautiful and artistic. A lot of my writing started as I looked back on my childhood to my then teen years, I kept a journal of Poems. I had a typical life as a kid/teen it was most enjoyable but the flipside were a lot of scars emotionally. Having been left behind by my father was more emotional for my brother than myself all I can see to this day is my mom sobbing because dad left. I could not help but think this was the start of being all by ourselves with just our mom. No late dinners, excuses why dad is not home and especially no more sitting up at night listening for dad top come stumbling in with drunken excuses and listening to my mom cry as she tells him you have a family and to not do this. That part was over. Yet, I knew my mom would of rathered him home with us since the next many years to come were a slight struggle. My brother and I grew apart, mom and I moved, I went off to school and from there is was growing and understanding how life can destroy people and their surroundings. We are like books with endless chapters.
I did the whole 9 yards, I graduated high school, went off got married and had two children. Our marriage was one of those types where someone should of stood up and stated why we should not be married. Writing helped me get through the tough times, I really needed to go through the tough times so I could learn these valuable lessons that were awaiting my attention. I learned a lot believe me. I learned "sticking it out" would get me a ride on the dead bus i.e. the man I married would soon be a man I had to bury. Skin cancer struck and a year later he passed on. Boy was that an eye opener, I longed to be alone so I could dedicate more time to writing, hubby was not a big support to something I loved to do. I grew up all over again. I finally took the time to learn about me after all I gave my life to him early from age 16 to 26 years old. I grew up the way he wanted me to and I became very sheltered in some ways it was good and in others not.
I learned what meditation was all about, I embraced my realm. Solitude is where I stood, I loved it. I began to write more intensely and it was all about me and my pen. My writings are from a very deep part of my soul, it's amazing how solitude can help ease a soul. My children and I, not to forget our furry friends, live tucked away in the mountains. I have a lot of inspiration when writing, so many deep thoughts and an amazing outlook on life itself. When the winds start to blow especially at night I open my window and listen to the howls, wind chimes and the best part our neighborhood owl, which I have written about in Volume 2. So much inspiration as I write, the most wonderful writings and I embrace it. I also enjoy the beach at sunset and I love the rain and thunder storms both are inspirations as well.
More coming
Love, Victoria
