By Deidre Havrelock
When I look back on my life, to the first book I wrote in grade three: The Bloody Dagger, I see how I was made to be a writer. Later, in tenth grade, my English teacher pulled me aside and told me I should be a writer because I had a strong imagination—but I didn’t take anything she said seriously. So when she sent me to a writing retreat, I skipped it in order to go shopping. After my exorcism, I immediately wanted to be a writer. I became consumed with the idea. I remember thinking, This is it…this is what I’m meant to do! When I wrote my first chapter for what’s now called Saving Mary and showed it to my husband, he was concerned because it was rather dark. I’m a gothic writer, that’s just the way I roll.
Why do I like writing? I like being alone with my thoughts. I like the creativity of finding a new metaphor or description. I like how it’s difficult…so very difficult to get the words right! I like how it takes mounds of figuring in order to get a book organized. Most of all, I like to encourage people to think about things that they may not want to think about.
