Gigi likes being active and creating, which includes, but not limited to, taking things apart, growing stuff, riding scenic roads, and maintaining her strength (to carry on all these activities). Writing helps her keep the details of her many experiences as accurate as possible, and it offers a way to revisit those memories clearly, for years to come. And, as for so many writers out there, documenting life — hers or others — helps to convey the emotions evoked and lessons learned to share with anyone who wants to know.
