The best thing about being a writer is writing (lol). I can't speak for all writers but writing helps me release the many thoughts in my mind. Since I don't talk about them writing is the only way for me to let it all out.

Never stop writing and never think what you're writing is stupid. Writing is a passion not a hobby. Journaling is a hobby.

Currently, I am working on the new version of Troubled. It is officially finished and in the process of being printed. I will schedule some events for the Fall so be on the lookout for The Troubled Movement.

I have always been a writer. I never have and never will express myself vocally. If you want to know what I am thinking, feeling, or what goes on in my mind you have to read what I write. If I decide to make it available. I used to be secretive about my writing because I used to say cruel things about people I loved. Things that if they saw them it would hurt them. Now I have matured in my writing and learned that the problem never was other people. It was always me. The pain inside of my heart was killing me from the inside. It was like cancer taking over my body and mind. Now I am an open book...literally. I don't hide my writing anymore. I still keep a personal journal but when things really start to get to me or I have an overwhelming feeling, I'll blog about it.

Honestly, Troubled wasn't really an "idea". It's my life story. A story that was trapped inside of my head and needed to be released. I remember the night I started writing Troubled. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep. I grabbed a legal pad and began to write the story of my father. It seems as though after I lost him, my life began to unravel. I wrote the first "entry" (Troubled wasn't a book or even named yet. It was just journal writing). The next day I continued on. After a few weeks I realized I had been writing non-stop and made it to 100 pages in Microsoft Word before I realized it. When I thought about the young women I see struggle all the time with their identity and the way this generation is transforming. I thought what better way to help them than to tell them.
