I started writing once I became bored with drawing. My twin sister still continues to draw and paint. I was in the 8th grade when I started writing poetry. Poetry was a means to document and manifest the world around me in a way that could evoke emotion. I have been performing and writing poetry ever since the 8th grade. Writing fiction is something that has been aching in my veins to leak out through my fingers. I finally let my imagination have it's way in 2011.When I'm not busy being a mother (which is never, even when the children are asleep) I'm substitute teaching. When I'm at work on my breaks I can get some writing done. I also find the time to write once the children are asleep. It's a constant battle between writing and watching Korean dramas, reading an interesting book, or watching my favorite TV show. I'm also a self proclaimed D.I.Y home decorator and arts and crafts connoisseur; in my mind of course.Discover more about my poetry and novels on my blog, website, facebook, and twitter.
