I don’t think of myself as an author. I was that kid who hated reading, writing, or anything to do with English class. My teachers would find great irony in my hobby now.
But something wonderful happened as I grew older—dare I say, wiser. I picked up a book. Then another. Then another. And I found myself wanting to read more and more.
What did I do? I studied accounting at night, started a job in public accounting, and devoted countless nights and weekends to passing the CPA exam. I even got married and produced a couple kids along the way. The loves of my life.
Through my CPA journey, I harbored a dark secret. I longed to read and write. OK, not so dark, but it did feel forbidden given the complexity of the journey to become a CPA, the life of public accounting, and the burden it put on my family. If you’re married to a CPA, you get it, and I’m sorry. It’s a wonder I’m still happily married.
I joined Reedsy to start writing, find my voice, share my stories, and hopefully improve along the way.
Thanks for taking the time to read about me. I’m open to any feedback. Even if you want to tell me my writing sucks. Just tell me why, so that I may suck a little less.
