Quote preview background for Day Parker
As an author the question I get asked the most is, __hy do you write?_ My knee jerk response is, __ecause I love it,_ which is true, but not the whole truth. So here is my revised response to that question; __ write for the thirteen year old me who hated reading and craved something different than the boring literature I was forced to read for school. I write to see something I want to read exist in the world. I write because it becomes unbearable to hold so many stories in my head without a way to express them, but most importantly, I write to be true to myself.
