Why I Write


by Vickie Hall

The simple answer is because I genuinely love it. I gained the love of writing at an early age. From the days of elementary school, when given the assignment to write a story, I was happiest to have the opportunity to use my imagination. I was born with quite a vivid imagination, using it to devise all sorts of a cha...
