I was wondering how you got started, and what you did/what your day jobs were before you transitioned to a full time writer? What was the time period between college graduation and now like?

i did everything: waitressed, bartended, worked at a grocery store. i graduated college in 2010 and my book was published in 2012. i got started in my college’s poetry slam scene and branched more into publishing once i graduated. thanks for asking!
