Background
Information
|
|
Growing up on a farm in a small town with three younger brothers was challenging at best. Yet challenge became a constant force throughout my life and has not only presented some pretty unique life choices, but quite a diversified career as well.
While writing became a great way to express herself, Sharon plunged into writing movie scripts and poetry simultaneously early in her forties. Nonetheless, writing scripts is no easy task, yet writing poetry comes naturally. However difficult a challenge, creating something of interest for others can be an amazing undertaking - one that continues to hold her interest.
Sharon enjoys travel, downhill skiing, dancing, cooking and baking. The support of family and friends plays a very important role to the success of anyone's journey. Sharon attributes much of her success to her friend Dana, who has not only been a major influence in her writing career, but has played a very large part in the success of her writing career and writing accomplishments.
Anything we do throughout our lives can be considered a great accomplishment, whether it is something big or small. All we have to do is find the challenge(s) that best suit our needs and bring those challenges to life.
