Erika Frouws’ favourite pastime is creative writing. “I find it relaxing as it distracts me from my everyday concerns and provides me with the opportunity to express the dark side of my personality,” she says. Erika dreams of making creative writing her full-time profession, and of making lots of money as a successful novelist. For now, she holds down a day job in the communications department of a financial services company while studying towards an Honours degree in English through Unisa.
