I had numerous poems, memoirs, and songs published in books for young writers. I started writing the plot for my first novel, "His Death Sentence" back in seventh grade but I quit writing because I couldn't find the time between playing on two or three softball teams every year and working for my parents as a farmhand on their farm and trying to have a social life at that age.
Once I hit my sophmore year of high school, current on going health problems came into play, affecting my softball career. I knew deep down that something had to give in my life, so I had to make a big, but hard decision. I chose to quit softball but decided to continue voluteering and working for the local veterinarian along with continuing to work for my parents. I picked writing back up that same year which helped fill that empty void in my life.
I rediscovered my passion for writing and decided to push my idea of publishing my novel further along. Granted I was only sixteen at the time but I am now eighteen publishing my first novel. I finally achieved one of my many long-term goals in life. Some people look at me weird or as if they don't believe me when I tell them that I'm only eighteen and a new author, but to me in my opinion I have achieved something great that other students my age wouldn't ever dream of possibly of ever doing. A dream I thought I would never achieve or see myself pursuing but this is what I love doing, I love writing.
I currently live with my boyfriend on my parent's two hundred acre farm in Garfield, Kentucky and transferring universities in the spring because I have changed my major and MSU doesn't offer what area I am wanting to pursue.view less
