What do you believe is important about writing?

I love the way writing has given me an outlet for expressing myself in a new, healthy way. Putting my words on paper in such a unique way has given me the opportunity heal from past trauma (and current trauma) and give it some kind of closure.

What part of the writing process do you enjoy the most and why? And/or what part of the process do you find the most challenging and why?

The part of writing I enjoy the most is getting an idea down on paper. The process for me takes quite a bit of time. I typically will get an idea and then jot down possible words, phrases, lines, etc. in a notebook for days/weeks before a piece starts taking shape.
