Has writing always been your creative outlet?

Yes, but it’s also so much more for me. Writing has always been cathartic so, instead of therapy sessions, I write.

It’s funny because there are times when something I’d have never guessed I was feeling finds its way into my writing. I think it’s an amazing gift to be able to take raw emotion and not only express yourself but also evoke that same feeling in others or incite them to want to express themselves.

My upcoming novel is a testament to just how big a role writing has played in my life.

“One writes out of one thing only—one’s own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from the experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give.”
— James Baldwin
