“I’ve been a writer my whole life.” I know. Very cliche’. But it IS true. It started with poetry and short essays in elementary school. I wrote songs in high school and college. I wrote regularly in a journal from my teen years into my mid-30s. Most every job I’ve ever had has included technical writing. And now I (try to) maintain a blog. Writing may not have brought me the fame and fortune I dreamed of as a 10-year old, but I AM a writer. I always have been.
