I've been writing for over half of my life, reading for two-thirds of it and now apologizing for bringing math into a simple bio for about five seconds. Sorry. Though my arithmetic skills never improved that much, I believe my storytelling has definitely come about.

I gather my ideas from every day life—and sometimes the extraordinary and imaginative—and have long since given up going a day without a tiny notebook always on hand or a phone app for grammatically-disinclined scribblings.
