About Me

---

I have loved the written word my whole life. 

Reading, writing, word puzzles... Anything. 

Until 2022, I had been running myself in circles. I would keep jogging in the direction of something "practical" and "responsible" that an adult should be doing. Then I would turn a corner and find myself sprinting back to my love of writing... again. 

At the end of 2021, I read Sarah Penner's The Lost Apothecary and fell completely in love with reading and writing all over again. I was inspired by Sarah's own path of becoming a published author and followed in her footsteps.

I signed up for a Creative Writing class through my local community college and started putting words on the page. 

Then, in February 2022 I wrote what would become the first chapter of my current Work in Progress, "The Writer's Game." 

But I'm not going in circles anymore. I'm determined to pursue this passion. For real. This time. 

I finished my first draft in May 2022 and am currently moving through uncharted territory. Terms that I never knew before like, beta reading, critique groups, and developmental editing, are now at the forefront of my mind and on the tip of my tongue. 

With all my heart, I am sprinting in the direction of my dream. 

Thank you for joining me on this journey!
