: About Me

Sitting cross legged under a tree

Holding my lucky pen and paper,

Waiting on the words to come

To help with this character.

Writing a line

Then crossing it out,

Feeling frustrated

and full of doubt.

Then a scent fills the air

And helps me to remember,

Consuming every doubt

And continuing to linger.

I've now completed what I started

and I'm dreaming of my Pulitzer,

My passion is ...

to write. To gain enough knowledge that I can successfully write on any topic and hopefully make a difference along the way.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a womens basketball coach or to play for the WNBA.

Why I write ...

is to release what is sometimes hard for me to express otherwise. I feel very proud of myself once I have completed a writing task and I dream everyday about getting one of my books or poems published...to one day see what I wrote in a hardback form or in a magazine...I cannot even imagine how amazing that would feel.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

is "A Lotus grows in the mud" by Goldie Hawn.

My first job ...

was modeling for Panama Jack.

My inspiration ...

has always been the independant women of this world.
