Laurel Casida
I have always loved to read and have devoured books of all types since the age of 5. While I enjoy writing as well, it is not an activity that I practice often, but rather something that I see as an art form which I like and use to capture a particular set of emotions or point of view. That is what is magical to me about the written word, especially in non-fiction. It is nothing more than real life, but the insight given by the author transforms it into a whole other world than the one we usually move through. I write on vacation, when I am in a place I love, when I can't sleep at night – maybe like some people draw, only my pen is not talented enough to stray from the 26 letters the romans left us.
