So keep close. How it all started? For me, writing is a release. A break for the mind. When I write, I feel that time stands still. I like to walk through my own thoughts. When I put letters on paper, that’s what I do. I get lost in the words; I choose the right ones and turn them into stories. —Delia C. Zorzoliu
