Tashah Claymore from Twitter here! These are my answers to your interview questions.
Q: What inspired you?
A: My first inspiration came from J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Other inspirations typically come from other things I have been watching/reading. Sometimes ideas come from nowhere.
Q: What are your aims?
A: With my writing I hope to inspire someone to live a better life. In my opinion, there are a lot of books out there that do not set good examples for people to follow. I am Roman Catholic, and I could write Catholic books, but most people who aren't Catholic would not read them. I want to have my protagonists be good and virtuous people who have to pay for their mistakes and don't take death and whatnot for granted. Fantasy is loved by most everyone, and I want to reach as many people as possible. I hope that my characters show my readers what it really means to live, even in our non-fantasy world.
Q: What plans do you have for the future?
A: In the future I hope I can be only an author, without the need of a second job to support myself and any family I might have. My dream is to live alone in the Colorado mountains and write. As the years go by and I get older, I might switch the wanting to be alone part, but I will never want to live anywhere other than the Colorado mountains.
While the exact cause of these skin growths is not clear, many experts believe it has something to do with genetics. Some people are more likely to get them compared to others. They are more likely to appear in pregnancy and are even linked to climate and exposure to chemicals. You do not usually need to worry about these skin growths unless you notice a change in their shape, size, or color. Talk to your doctor if they bleed often.
If you notice pinpoint, round, tiny red dots on skin, they could be petechiae. These growths develop as a result of bleeding, and this is the reason why they may look brown, red, or purple. They look more like a rash and appear in clusters. The color remains the same even when you press on them. And they may appear on your eyelids or on the inner surface of your mouth.
Keratosis pilaris (KP) also causes small red spots on your skin. This genetic disorder affects hair follicles of the skin and often manifests as rough, small folliculocentric keratotic papules. They are also described as chicken skin, chicken bumps, or goose bumps and usually appear on the outer-upper highs and arms.
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis or commonly known as hypersensitivity vasculitis refers to the inflammation of small blood vessels. Leukocytoclastic is a term used to refer to the debris of immune cells or neutrophils within the walls of blood vessels. The disease may only affect your skin or spread to other organs of the body, including central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, heart, lungs, and the kidneys.
Not seeking treatment for strep throat in a timely manner may result in rheumatic fever. It usually affects children from 5 and 15 years of age. Older children and adults may also contract the fever. It is not a serious illness and when left untreated, it may cause serious issues including permanent damage to your heart, stroke, and death.
