Years ago I had a lot going on in my life (being in 5th grade is hard—)and I had a couple blank journals lying around. So I sat down and made myself write 3 pages a day. At first I hated it…I had nothing to say and a lot of time I just wrote “I have nothing to say” but after a month, it caught on. I learned how to think through things and rationalize my thoughts. Since then I have filled up 12 journals with art and writing, and become a writer. I’ve been in 3 hardbound anthologies of poetry, the feature in a literary magazine, the subject of 2 newspaper articles, published a lot online, had lots of poems in literary magazines both local and national, in an international magazine, and getting paid.
I absolutely love to write.
