The desire to write was instilled in me from the very start. There isn’t an exact moment that pops out where I decided I loved writing. It was always there.
As a young girl, I was constantly coming up with story ideas. I remember using this archaic program on our family computer to draft my thoughts. In school, writing was always my favorite assignments. While my classmates groaned when we were assigned prompts, I was secretly excited.
I always loved reading, too. I would collect books and keep them neatly stacked in the shelf in my closet. Books were something very special to me. I was sure to take delicate care of them.
