My imagination was strongly influenced by my mother and her stories of her life mingled with the books she read and realted to us as children. Playing barbies influenced the creative streak and strengthened my vivid imagination as a child, and it was often you could fine me reading books beyond my years and acting them out. As i grew and found I had an aptitude for the useage of the discriptive narrative, I began writing about my dreams and all the crazy things I have going on in my head. My talent was recognized early on and I was in writing competitions and had short stories published in the newspapers. But that was just as a child. In my teens I really got to work and started writing more complex stories with twists and turn and lots of imagination. One story in particular my teacher never gave back.... I had to rewrite the whole first chapter, since it started out as a simple writing assignment and turned into a 200 page hand written story that I still love. It was, after all, my first book. After i graduated high school and worked ceaslessly, i developed the ability to go off in my mind while my bbody was more or less on aotu pilot doing what I had to do to get through the day. After the birth of my child and the dissolution of my marriage, I put all my effort into a story about fantastic love, religion and mostly forgiveness. Currently I am attending the Art Institute of Tampa in an attempt to better my future and that of my child. I am in the Film Production and Digital Media program, and study screenwriting in particular. It has occured to me that my vivid imagination could be shown to everyone in the best way, since not everyone reads. Movies. And with computer graphics what they are today, my vision can be distributed and enjoyed by everyone. I am going for my Bachelor's and in the middle of the 4 year program. I am a straight A student, harking back to high school days over 6 years past. I'm thankful to my mother, my inspiration, and the God who is guiding this book that undoubtedly asserts His presence and unending love. And of course, forgiveness for all the stupid crap we all do.view less
