being a woman writer

"I've always wanted to write.. when people asked me when I was little I used to say that I would like to be a storyteller because I just like listening to stories [especially when people have been abroad or somewhere,] just sit there and listen and can imagine what people go though. So I think I was born a communicator because I love listening."
