What is my purpose?

What is my gift to give to the world? The written word. I live it, I love it, I teach it, I share it.

I knew the alphabet was I was two. When I was five I could not wait to read. I wrote my first story when I was six. And I haven't slowed down a bit. I want to learn everything there is to know about language.

I love the way the perfect word resounds when you say it or write it. I love the way a string of words can make the most powerful statement. And I love how words can take the stories from the depths of my soul and pour them onto paper so others can read them.

I am on the brink of continuing my college education, and I could not be more excited about all the English courses I can take. Beowulf. Icelandic Sagas. All different tales from different backgrounds that inspire my own writing.

Ah! I'm so excited!
