“Everything I write is always inspired by the people around me. Sometimes, someone I know would do or say something interesting and I would have to write about it. Or I would be having coffee at a café and I would overhear people’s conversations and get inspiration from there. My life has really been shaped by my identity as a mother. I would do anything for my children. A lot of my works have them as my inspiration in mind”, shared Michelle in an exclusive chat.
