I'm a gal into all things creative, whether it be writing, music or being crafty. I have been song and screenwriting since age 16, (36 now). I have been in various bands and have also written articles for a publication my church produced, that was distributed citywide. I'm looking forward to meeting like minded people and gaining opportunities that will allow me to sharpen my tools, so to speak!
