Wow Heather this was an awesome thank you piece! I've noticed your short pieces and loved the ones I've had the chance to read. I need your motivation!

To answer your question, I'm inspired by my younger self. English was not my first language and reading was what allowed me to escape and feel like I belonged even if what I was reading was made up. This was an awesome question and I may use it later as a writing prompt :)

Ro, thanks! I am glad you've enjoyed some of my short-form (it is something new I've been trying lately).
It is amazing how we can be our own source of inspiration, and many books serve as a space to belong. You should write about this aspect of your journey as a writer!
