I am a mother to a 4 year old girl, pregnant with #2 and wife to a heavy duty mechanic. I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, but raised in Leduc, Alberta by my adoptive family. At seventeen, I moved out of my parents house, and to Edmonton.
Writing wasn't a passion of mine until I was sixteen. A couple things happened that year. My mom passed away, and I started reading more to escape. This lead me to read anything I could get my hands on, and I soon found fanfictions. Eventually, I had ideas and started writing my own AU (Alternate Universe) fanfictions. This type of fanfiction is when you take the characters and put them in a different story world.  I soon scratched those stories, and started writing my own books with my own characters.
In fact, I hated my English classes until I was sixteen. The books we read tended to be boring, the book theory even more so, poetry was supposed to be personal interpretation however interpretation was based on the teacher's view, I hated writing essays, and well I could continue. Let's just say I also got in trouble in grade six because I didn't put periods in my work. Sentence structure was correct, but if the sentence ended in a period I tended not to input it.
I'm not saying I love to write essays for fun, but I do enjoy free writing.
