Once upon a time, writing was a punishment.
It was first grade and my mom wasnt happy with my poor grades. Her solution: non-stop essays and reading. She created a nerd.

I hogged my parents business computers throughout my childhood to pen novels, hiding the spicier ones in notebooks crammed under my bed (until, you know, they were found). My parents eventually weaned me off their computers with a hand-me-down laptop and I took off from there. That lappy was the start of my writing career.
I created my blog sometime in college.
First coined, Inky Tavern, my blog was my way of showcasing my fiction, cataloging my journey to becoming a professional author, and celebrating creativity.
Want to know more about me? I suggest checking out my work:
