I have been writing ever since I was in high school. But back then it was a bad experience for me, no one believed that I was the one who wrote what I wrote. I was put down a lot and I quite writing for many many years. I slowly started writing again and gaining more confidence as I went a long. My fear of being judged like I was when I was younger was a stumbling block every now and then, but I have now fully embraced my writing and am now able to put myself and my writing for all to see. I welcome feedback and criticism as it will help me perfect my craft. I don't have a certain style of writing or a certain genre that I like to do. I honestly like writing about many different things, it all depends on what is inspiring me at the time. I grew up in both southern and northern California, I did a stint in the military, was in combat and have traveled the world. I have had many different types of experiences in life, with good and bad, and I use all of those experiences to my advantage when it comes to writing. I have been recently diagnosed with bipolar and possible borderline personality disorder. I was once embarrassed about those diagnosis's, but I have also embraced them in hopes that it won't get me down, but that I can use those emotions to create characters and stories that people can relate to. I have the luxury to be able to write every day, I get to pour my thoughts out on paper and let my imagination come to life. I hoe that all of you enjoy all of my writing.
