How did I get here?
October 29, 2014
Ever since I can remember, I've been writing stories. My love for writing started when I was seven years old. I kept a notebook filled with short stories, about two pages each. Along the margin, I'd draw pictures to represent the images I'd created in my head. When I started high school, I focused more on athletics and academics, but I still kept a journal. I didn't write as much as I would have liked, but the point is, I wrote.
In college, I struggled with choosing a major. I absolutely loved my English and Creative Writing classes, but my left brain (the logical side) told me that it'd be better for me to choose a different path. This of course, devastated my right brain (the creative side). I chose to pursue the Business route, getting my Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain Management. I landed a great job two months after graduating where I moved to Houston, TX. While climbing the corporate ladder felt great, there was a part of me that still felt unfulfilled. It was during this time that I began to write my first novel, The Alpha Drive.
It's 2014, four years later, and I've finally finished writing it. I know what you're thinking, four years is a long time to write a novel, but bear in mind that I had a full-time job as well as a Master's degree from Texas A&M to keep me busy. If writing had been the only thing on my plate, I'm sure I would have finished it a lot sooner.
I'm just starting the editing process and wanted to start this blog to capture my thoughts, successes, shortcomings, and everything in between. Maybe it'll help an aspiring writer-to-be one day. I can only hope!
