Writing has been an adventurous journey that has brought instant gratification. I found it to be an outlet from life. It allowed me to dream and be creative without the parameters and expectations. I started writing in 2009 with my first literary work,  The Upside Down of Things, which described where I was at the time. I think the title speaks for itself. Finding that life has it's own set of rules, I had to learn that along the way.  The book allowed me to tell a story without telling a story. It wasn't until I completed it that I found it to be a story untold. From then, I found a dream outside of education to inspire, obtain, and sustain.
