: About Me

I'm a 28 year old who has been writing all her life. Before I knew how to truly write, I made up stories. These days I run two writing groups. One group is for local screenwriters and the other is for all types of writing...not one in particular. It is a wonderful way of lending a hand to those who would like to make it in the writing world.
I have been known to write poems to short stories to novels to short screenplays to full length feature screenplays.
I love anything about writing.

My passion is ...

writing...anything: from poems to full feature length screenplays....

I know too much about ...

writing from the start of approaching an idea to disecting the characters to revisions to marketing it.

My parents always told me ...

that in order to follow a dream one must focus on the small steps first...

My childhood ambition ...

to be a director/actress/writer of my own movies in....Hollywood

My favorite memory ...

is the ones I had growing up working on a small local newspaper....anything could happen and it did.

Why I write ...

is plain simple....I can't live without it and yet sometimes I can't live with it.

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

The Hobbit/nothing on tv these days/Celtic Women...I plan someday meeting my unicorn....Ireland.

My first job ...

was working in a newspaper office....helping in the darkroom with my father and falling asleep on bags of newspapers behind the press....wonderful memories...

My best moment ...

is when I realized that I could never live without writing.

My inspiration ...

is helping newbies find their way in the writing world and seeing them succeed at it.
