I was in eighth grade, and 14 years old, when I first dreamed of being a “WRITER.“I think it was all the R.L. Stine, Fearstreet books that I became obsessed with, that inspired me to aspire to be a writer.

I am totally posing for this picture above. I don’t even remember who took this picture of me. But this is what I looked like when I first began dreaming of becoming a writer.

Before this age I did love to mostly read. I did write stories, but I never thought about becoming a writer then.

I have always enjoyed journaling and I have always kept dozens of journal’s and spirals for writing. I actually have some journals I wrote in my childhood saved somewhere.

And just in general I’m a school supplies hoarder.😂😂😂 I always have an assortment of pretty pens, paper, journal’s, and spirals stocked away.
