Aspiring, rookie writer... Born with the gift of storytelling, I began writing the moment I understood the concept of the written word. My first novel began when I was in grade five. I spent three weeks writing , completed the fifth chapter and then we had to move. My attention was torn from my creation and eventually it got lost in the shuffle of papers. It wasnt until recently, when I began writing again, that I remembered it. Remembered how important it was to me. The story was good. So good in fact, I would love to share it, yet I won't as I plan to finish it one day. When I was in highschool my English Teacher sent a poem I wrote to the BC writers annual creative writing contest. Out of five thousand entries grade 8-12,( I was in grade eight ) I won honerable mention. Fourth place. It was confirmed. I was talented. I went on to another writing spree. I have little recollection of what I wrote, mostly the first three or four lines from some poems. I do remember though, how I felt when I was writing. The excitement of bringing an idea to print, the frustration and struggle to keep it going. Finally, the burst of satisfaction and pride when I was finished.
Living free and healthy in the clean air of the Okanagan Valley, I am blessed.
