What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits. -Carl Jung

For me it was writing. Never mind playing outside with the other kids. I'd rather be in the house in the comfort of my long walk in closet, making up all sorts of tales in my head and scribbling them on paper! It started when I learned how to read.It was..I believe in the 3rd grade when a teacher approached my parents suggesting I get into a special ed class- because my reading was not up to par. My parents were like 'hell to the naw!'From that day on I would practice reading out loud daily with my Momma. She got me a little recorder that I would read into and she would play back to me (my friend said that was cruel - I say hell it worked..because I could hear my own voice...It's kinda hard to explain). I fell in love with literature...which birthed my 1st passion - writing.

My next teacher wrote home saying ' ---- has an amazing imagination and is an extraordinary writer at such a young age'. Up until then I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a writer. I am a writer
