A compilation of short stories and poetry that are women centric.
I decided to do this because as an imaginative script writer I tend to have a thousand and one stories pop into my head daily. However, writing a script could take forever so I decided to use this outlet.
I'm not very good at writing a novel but I've always wanted to. As a woman, I decided to write about the issues women face. Although the issues aren't general or limited to this either.
I hope you enjoy reading Woman as much as I enjoyed writing it.
