Who Am I?

This is a bit philosophical, right? I mean, I suppose, in that aspect, we are all just a combination of our own thoughts, passions, and beliefs blended together with others' perceptions of us. In that context, I am a writer and an artist who is kind, giving, and always looking to put a smile on someone's face.

 

What do I do?

Mostly, I am a creator. I have always been a creator since I could remember. While my friends were busy with sports, I was busy writing or drawing. In line with a typical artist, I feel like 95% of everything I have created is awful and would never want it see the light of day, but every now and then I make something that people seem to like.

Why do I do it?

Writing children's books has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. When one of my books is nearly finished, my hygiene, sleep, and nutrition suffer, but it is all worth it when I present it to a class and one of the kids tells me they want to be an author. I believe that exploring creativity is important and can keep you happy. When it comes to writing or drawing, you can create an entire world and all you need is a pen and some paper...and maybe a brain!
