I Was Afraid To Tell This Story...
An idea. How funny it was. Just a simple idea that popped into my head when I was sitting in my sixth grade lunch hour would change my life entirely.

The Storyteller and the Campfire
Right now, there is a pool on the roof of a school somewhere in the world. This is a pool no one has seen, nor has anyone been able to prove it is up there. Yet the pool is believed to be there, simply because someone told us it was there. See, someone told someone. Then someone told someone else and so on down the line. Now the seniors are excitedly telling the new kids the latest version of where the pool is and why no one has seen it.

"Hear Me Out..."
“Hear me out…” Three simple words. A challenge, a tease, a temptation. I usually embed these three words within every pitch I make. These pitches blend in with the other blog posts that I make on a daily basis, yet they contain elevated levels of passion.

My Pen
Can I Call Myself a Writer? Maybe Yes. Maybe No. Grammarly tells me that I am doing well within my nuances of language; But is that enough to say "Yes I am a writer" I believe I could call myself a wordsmith but is that the same as being identified as a writer?

Uh, a little help, please! (Proofreading)
Hey Vocal fam, I got a confession: I sock… I mean … I suck at proofreading my own work. Yup. I really do. And I’m impatient about it. Especially when it comes to my own stuff.

I Dream of Holding My Book
I can still remember the first (and only) writing contest I’ve ever won. I was in first grade, and we had to write about our favorite books. I wrote about The Little Mermaid, and I was rewarded with a book about a family on a road trip. I’d like to think that was when I realized that I wanted to be a writer, but it probably had more to do with the show Ghost Writer on PBS. To say I liked the show was an understatement since I was so obsessed that I used to write fan fiction about the show. The fan fictions were about what you’d expect from a child, but those fan fictions helped me develop my writing skills.

The Frustration of An Aspiring Author

The Stories That Inspired Me
If you're not writing, you should be reading. When I first started taking writing fiction really seriously, that was the message trumpeted across all of my research as I learned about editors and querying and getting an agent. You've always got to be trying to improve your craft; what better way than by reading the work of others?
