Long before I ever thought about publishing my work I wrote because it was the one place I could speak freely. Writing has always been the way I make sense of the world and the way I make sense of myself. Every book I write carries a little piece of me a little piece of my truth and a small echo of something I have lived or felt or survived.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People often say that I write for older women and in some ways I do but the truth is I write for women. All women. Women who have lived a little. Women who have lived a lot. Women who have known joy and pain desire and fear hope and heartbreak. Women who are still figuring themselves out and women who are rediscovering the parts they thought they had lost.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My life has never been conventional. I have not walked the tidy path that others expect. I have lived my life the way my heart told me to even when it made people uncomfortable. My friends know me and understand me and accept me without question. Others have been wary of me because I do not fit neatly into what they think a woman should be and that is fine. I am not here to be understood by everyone. I am here to be myself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than anything I am a woman. I love being a woman. I love the softness and the strength the intuition and the fire the longing and the complexity. I have known pain and loss sorrow and heartache fear and moments when I truly believed I would not get through. But I did. And what carried me through more than anything was writing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now at this later stage in my life I have chosen to share what I write. I want to create a space where women can breathe and feel recognised. A space where they can see themselves in the stories. A space where they can feel less alone. A space where being a woman in all her forms is something to be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cec27fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cec27fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read My Full Story<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c17205 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9c17205\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:1300}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Vivian Hart<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b59b67c animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b59b67c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:1400}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Author Vivian Hart<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8481d0b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8481d0b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9966e5c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9966e5c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86a42a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"86a42a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">This is why I write<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6eae00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a6eae00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I write because writing became my lifeline long before it ever became a choice.<br \/>I write because I needed a place to put the truth \u2014 the parts of myself I spent years hiding.
