I grew up writing.
My grandfather was a journalist and songwriter, so it became a part of me. Or maybe it was always a part of me. This thing I could not cut out.
I was once a teacher, but now I write curriculum for a corporation that cares little for curriculum. I'd say my dream is to write, but really it's my purpose. I'm consumed by it. So, I'll keep writing and failing and writing again until it becomes my only purpose.
