Who am I?
To sum it up: writing is my passion. I love telling stories and building worlds filled with vivid imagery and alluring characters. If nothing else, I know you'll find something on this website to enjoy whoever you are... As long as you like reading.
I've grown up my entire life in Richmond, Virginia and have always harbored love and fascination for the arts. I love books, movies, video games, and studio arts like painting and drawing, but above all else, writing speaks to me in a language unlike anything else. For as long as I can remember, I have loved storytelling, but it wasn't until my latter years of high school that I realized the depth of my adoration.
After graduating from college with a degree in English and a minor in writing, I think my abilities are in a good place, but I know I can keep growing and getting better. If nothing else, I have learned that any artistic abilities are never done developing and I'm so excited to see how much better I can do with time, experience, criticism, and help from those around me.
High school introduced me to the art of writing poetry, but college brought out a completely new side of my creativity through short stories. Having played pretend as a child and later dedicated many hours to the freedom of Dungeons & Dragons, I had experience crafting stories and developing in-depth worlds, but I had never thought to put them all down on paper.
Now, I can't get enough. New world-building and character ideas pop into my head every day and I just don't have enough time to jot them all down or make anything more with them, but my passion fuels me and allows me to do what I love without getting sick of it which I feel incredibly fortunate for. I hope to write professionally some day and be able to support myself with my writing at least in part, and I know with how much I love it, I can do just that.
I am fortunate to have the support that I do from friends, family, coworkers, and the strangers who have kindly taken the time to check out my work. Without any of them, I wouldn't have as much fun doing it and couldn't call it a passion. Discovering this form of expression has truly changed my life and allowed me to realize my life's dream. I want to share my stories and characters with the world.
