When it comes to doing my own thing, the Gypsy is the writing I want to do and the art is the "thing" I want to do. And I get in my own way more than anyone.

Following a thought and where it takes me is so good. That was considered a luxury when I was a mother, teacher and chief breadwinner. It took a lot of discipline to do it. I think I must have been Art A.D.D all my life but no one told me. I just had to deal with it to survive and keep my children, five of them. You've given me a lot to ponder.
