IF YOU CARE TO KNOW
How Long Have I Been A Writer?
Forever. Always. Writing is my jam. That said, it's not always easy to force myself to do it. I heard a wonderful quote once that really resonated with me - "I hate writing, but I love having written." Too accurate. I love it so much that I had it tattooed ... on my face, of all places.
Strengths & Struggles
If you're going to go on this journey with me, it's only fair I disclose this.
STRENGTHS: Prolific writing speed, endless ideas, stupid amounts of optimism, cheeky humor for days, resilient AF
STRUGGLES: Time management, deadline paralysis, overly ambitious, slight caffeine addiction, sticking to one idea, zero fun when hangry
Accomplishments
● As a writer: everything I've published
● Birthing four beautiful humans - three I kept and one in which I was a surrogate for a lovely LGBTQ+ couple from France
● Sobriety, which was a struggle after postpartum following the birth of my first child. I've been sober since January 15, 2021 and I love openly sharing my experiences in the hopes of diminishing the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction
● Entering the Creative Writing program at the University of Calgary in 2024 (which is currently a work in progress)
