My plans as a writer:


When I was a little girl I wanted to become a children's author and illustrator. I loved creating stories from the experiences I had with my nephew. I was an aunt at the age of 10 and since then I have written numerous rhymes and stories based off my time with him. I have always wanted to get them published but I never took the next step but maybe soon I will take that chance. Also, I love to write poetry. I can create a rhyme scheme about anything off the top of my head but also besides rhyming I love to create free flowing poetry about almost anything. I sent one poem called "The Field" to poetry.com and won the editors choice award last year and received my poem in the mail with comments from various editors who gave great positive feedback.

I have stopped writing recently since I am so busy with school but maybe when this semester is done I can write like I used to when I was younger. I would love to be published but if I never get the chance to then it will be okay because writing is a hobby that makes me happy and allows me to escape from the world every once and a while.
