A little bit more about me. Each fact is accompanied with a picture which explains why I had to work on this post for the past two weeks. After reading, you might conclude I am a boring, normal, and average person. If that’s the case, you are correct.
When is my life not boring, normal, or average? When I am writing.
16 Random Facts About Me

- I received my very first writing related check of $25 in the mail. Don’t judge me. This happened in grade 9.

I too, am a neat freak when it comes to my home and environment – but if you took one look at my writing desk, you would think a tornado had demolished it . While I am neat in every other aspect of my life, my creative life is always a bit messy, but that’s what makes it interesting. 🙂

I love how similar we are. As hard as I try to keep my writing space neat and organized, when I am working it is a total mess. I guess when it comes to writing, the disorder and chaos is a good thing.
