I am a writer, just starting out, but that doesn't mean I am new to this. I started writing poems and fictional stories when I was in middle school. In college, I have taken a few writing courses. I am an avid reader and read many different genres. I am a parent and am currently going back to college. Writing is something I do to take the edge off. When I first told my spouse that I was thinking of taking up actual writing, I didn't realize how deep I would dive into it.
