My Writing & Creative History
My love of writing all started at the age of seven with a mouse story.
My older sister, a budding journalist herself, typed up the tale I dictated. It was short, only one page, and had a surprise ending. My sister laughed at my character's decision and told me I had writing talent. She was my first supporter.
I grew up in a large musical family in Maryland and our creative talents started with singing and playing instruments. Now, I focus on writing, 4 to 8 hours every day on a laptop in a room with a vaulted ceiling and mint green walls. Across the room, my dog, Lily, sleeps on the back of the couch cushions. She wakes every once in awhile to make sure I keep at it. And if I don't, she comes looking for me (such a bossy thing, she is!).
