Do you have another profession besides writing?
I’ve been a mental health therapist for the past 20 years. I worked in various settings ranging from outpatient, residential, community, Inpatient, and Correctional.
How long have you been writing?
My writing journey started in High School. I’d write short stories and poems and would not share the writing. I wrote a poem on the back of a global studies test and my teacher read the poem and graded me an A.
Where do you write?
I like to write mostly on my desktop. I craft out ideas, storylines, and characters throughout my walking day, and when it’s time to write I have my outline.
What is your next project?
I have a short film in post-production titled Lonely Girl. I’m working on the second series to Hey Charlie and editing a potential short film to produce.
What is your writing schedule?
I don’t have a writing schedule. I like to draft notes daily and build characters and storylines when something is moving me. So, I guess every day lol.
