Life. Especially over the last 15 years. :P Help me keep track of where I been, where I am at, and where I am going. Making sure I don't shoot to off from where I want to end up in the end. :)

Without a doubt, my college english professor. She was the first one to actually make me feel like I was a writer with talent. It was with her I also had my first creative writing poetry class, and fr
