All her English teachers advised her not to go there as descriptive essays were deemed to be tackled by only the exceptionally gifted. Needless to say, she received a rebuff for her attempt and was told to steer clear of descriptive essays when she sat the higher grade. This dented her confidence somewhat so she didn't go there for a long time.She is in her 50s now and for the past ten years she has written songs, short stories and some poetry; and she also dabbles in painting now and again. She says, "I guess I have just decided to be me, to share a wee part of me, the things I like, the way I see life, observations and expressions. If anyone likes anything I write or paint, that is a wonderful bonus!”Monique is married to Paul. They have two sons, Thomas and Martin, two stepdaughters, Pauline and Jennifer, two wee step grandsons, Matthew and Nathan, and a wee King Charles Cavalier called Wallace. Monique and her family live in lovely Paisley, Scotland which is known for being home to many artists, writers, and singers.view less
