Certainly I’m passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

I’m not driven. I love writing. My imagination is always working. I write when I have time, and life allows me the time.
I went to pick my son up from school and walked him back and was in the house preparing dinner, and he came in the house and gave me this flower of chrysanthemum that was full of ants.
