I am a writer who took a LONG « break  » to have a family after I graduated from high school & now at my age I hang out with 14 to 50 yr olds & am the school's newspaper staff.  My oldest spawn is a United States Marine (cuz mama didn't raise a pussy ass bitch thank you) & my other two spawns are in high school now.  
Prior to my break from writing, I was a sports writer for my high school paper.  I won awards for a column I had (related to the world of sports) & my Freshman year I was Sports' Editor.  I started writing long ass stories when I was 12 years old and discovered I was good at it.
I would like to point out that I have dyslexia so my spelling & grammar may be off.  I would like corrections as I have been barreling it for years & this next winter I have to take Editing as part of my degree requirements. Yes, I am an over achiever as I am in my senior year of college working on (& almost have completed) two degrees (European History - Late Medevil to Reformation  Era, & Professional & Technical Writing specialismiwg in  Public Relations , App design & Delivery and Journalism.
