I'm a word nerd. Two time award winner for short stories (sounds fancy huh). I write based off of feelings. My writing is an escape for me as it is for most people. It's my talent and passion. You'll never see me writing because it's something I do privately because I always cry my eyes out. I've been writing since I was 6, but my writing took its toll after my mother passed away. I write about the pain I feel and sometimes about the lessons I've learned. My writing will make you cry and I'm not sorry; it means that I did my job to make you feel what I feel.

My best writing advice:
Don't let criticism get the best of you. It's harsh, but it helps you out a lot. Don't be ashamed of what you write or even to show people. If some people don't like it, doesn't mean everyone isn't going to like it... Everyone has a different opinion. Run with it.
