Writing is the one area in my life where I get to have absolute control over everything. Whatever I want, I can make it be.

The YAS has given me the opportunity to explore writing in an unrestricted way. The skills that I have acquired through the YAS are priceless, and will help me with my writing for a long time, if not the rest of my life.
Aristotle’s definition of happiness is ‘deploying your full force along lines of excellence’. Writing lets me do exactly that. I work hard. My work is good and useful. I am extremely happy doing it, and I enjoy the craftsmanship of writing.
