Who I am

“You can’t edit a blank page.”

This is a phrase I hear so often during November when I participate in National Novel Writing Month, that it makes writing this opening page a little less daunting. After all, if there are words here, it’s easier to go back and change what doesn’t work.

So, a little bit about me:

I live with a condition called Cerebral Palsy, a group of movement disorders that affect my handwriting and my ability to walk. I first fell in love with the concept of writing at age 3 when my disability forced me to begin using adaptive technology and find an escape in words. I am a devout Christian, with a love for all things history, fantasy, and romance.

Currently, I reside in Durham, North Carolina with my parents–David, a retired Pentecostal pastor, and Brenda, a bank teller.

I cannot wait to share my thoughts.
