I've been writing stories and poems and such for as long as I can remember. One of the first stories I ever wrote was a fairy tale. I remember when I was younger that I didn't care for the bedtime stories I was being read so I decided to make one of my own. What started out as a childhood game before bed turned into something that I love. Writing stories and reading stories can take you to places that you've only dreamed of without having to take a step. To me it's as much of my life as anything else is. Now I'm passing my love of stories down to my little girl in hopes that it will open a world of wonder for her as it did for me.
