http://www.youtube.com/user/adjungospirit About me From illiterate to writer, a forty year journey. Born in Australia, Christine writes for the love of storytelling.
I grew up with a creative father, who was great at amusing and intriguing me with stories from his past. Anyone who hasn't had an education yet thinks they have a story to write should do it. I was surprised at what I learnt during the many years of writing. Don’t get me wrong; I regret being in the clouds instead of school books; one of the reasons it took me so long to get my creations out to the world. In my opinion, there is no such word as can’t and there is a storyteller in all of us if we apply ourselves.
I don't know what the words 'writers block' means. I have so many stories floating around in my head; I don't believe I'll live long enough to get them all out, but I will try. Do I preplan what I'm going to write? No way, I let my characters drive the story. They want to go over a cliff, so be it; I will follow for the ride. And no, I don’t have a pen and paper with me scribbling down notes while we're plummeting.
How do I come up with a story? Devine intervention and I'm sticking with it.
