Whenever a great creator I admire dies it feels like losing a family member or close friend, even though I've never talked to any of them in person. But their creations connect us, make me feel like they invited me to a wonderful place inside their head.
This is why I write. Why I keep coming back to writing, no matter how frustrated I was with my stories.
I want to create characters, worlds and stories people can enjoy, love and even hate.
And I hope when I am gone, there will be at least one stranger saying:
'I am sad for all of her stories, worlds and characters that were never meant to be.'
