I’ve been writing as long as I could hold a pencil. I had kids at 19 so a lot of my dreams and the things that I thought my life would be changed dramatically from that day forward. To this day, the only reason I am the woman I am today is my children. My drive, my ambition and without a doubt writing. Now I live in California I took off from the Midwest about a year ago to change every aspect of my children’s and my life and have not spent a day since then that at least writing a few sentences if even to just capture my thoughts throughout the day. Before I moved, I used to go months and I hate to say it but at one point years that’s sitting down and putting my thoughts feelings and words onto paper.
