I am a young entrepreneur, make-up artist, wife and aspiring artist. I have been writing poetry, short stories and keeping journals my whole life but I was always told by my parents that there was no money or prestige in writing. Therefore, I went into a Pre-Med program in college. I wanted to change my major twice in college but my mother wasn't having it. I am currently thinking of going back and getting an English degree because I have made the conscious decision to pursue this longing and passion for writing that I've always had. I have lived a life that must be reflected through writing to the world and I plan to do that and more.
Do you have any published books:
No not yet. A poem pf mine was published when I was 14 but that's it. I am looking to get my novel published when I finish.
Why did you join this group?
I am in the process of writing my first novel and want to meet and learn from other writers like myself.
