I'm a fast reader, and as a writer proud of not experiencing a writer's block yet. English is my second language, but I feel comfortable writing in it. I also have a PhD in Dramatic Literature that explains my obsession with dialogues. My inspiration in writing was and still is my childhood friend whom I lost in a car accident. Mahshid is her name that I use for my writing name. I have a story dedicated to her that I am trying to publish it. Reading is the only means that help me survive the tension and pressure of daily life. I'm also a comicstrip fan. But my fantasy supporter mind doesn't mean that I prefer happy endings and cliche characters in the novels I read!
