mavis the author

Writing is like watching a story come alive, from the mind, transferred to the hands, until suddenly you see it from the perspective of the writer. - Mavis

Since I was a little girl, I would read books and wonder how the author could vividly capture a story. It fascinated me that one could write and the reader could imagine the story. I was amazed at how my mind could conjure images from the words before me in a book. I decided, I too wanted to be able to do that - write.
