Author has written 59 stories for Young Adult, Life, Family, General, Love, War, Friendship, General, Essay, and Romance. I am a writer. I am a writer the way I am human. It is the way my heart beats, the way I breathe. It is the very essence of who I am and how I exist in this world. I am scraps of carbon and soul stitched together with words, spine bound up in a story that I breathe and breathe and am every day. I am a writer. I wrote my first "book" when I was five, and I haven't stopped since. My dream is to become a published author. I am going to make that happen. The best advice I ever got came from my high school Journalism adviser. It was this: Take care, "You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." - Ray Bradbury | |||||||
