Writer Seeking Resume...

For as long as I can remember, I've been telling or writing stories.  My mother would quip that I had a "wild imagination".  I just loved thinking up new adventures.  I would often "self-publish" my stories by printing them as neatly as I could, adding colorful illustrations and then binding them with good old cardstock and staples.  I didn't stop with short stories, oh no, I also wrote my own screenplays for my sisters, cousins and any willing kids in the neighborhood to act out.

When I got a little older, I discovered poetry.  I wrote about things that spoke to my heart and mostly kept my poems to myself.  They were private.  They were my outlet during my teen years.  And then, towards the end of High School, I started working on longer stories based on people I knew that I hoped one day I would turn into novels.  It's only been recently that I've begun to take my dream of becoming a writer more seriously and while I do not have an impressive resume at the moment I'm enjoying the practice.
