my journey in storytelling

Image
I’ve been writing for…Well, as long as I was able to hold a pencil between my fingers and spell my name. I believe I was born with story in my soul. I’ve always been drawn to stories, whether it was in songs, animated movies, TV shows or hearing my loved ones talk about growing up.   Backstory - why I love the arts and storytelling As soon as I learned to write, I took full advantage of that, putting together short stories, rewriting scripts of my favorite TV shows, making my friends and cousins reenact scenes and music videos with me and producing my own magazines out of computer paper, printed photos, glitter and glue sticks.   The ways in which I’ve told a story have changed so much over the years.
