Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Found out how much I loved to write in 7th grade.
Was overcome with anxiety, and depression by high school. I quit when I was 16, and took GED.
Received my high school diploma and proceeded to college. Without the proper supports couldn't cope.
I worked a series of small jobs, got married, and started a family.
Discovered blogging.
Still love blogging, advocating, and discussing ideas.

Day to Day
An average day for me is waking up to the happy face of my profoundly autistic son whom I homeschool. I do household duties, and errands, as well as homeschool my teenaged daughter with dyslexia. My 14 year old autistic son goes to public school. I also answer phones for my husband's business. In all that craziness I try to find time for doing what I love most- writing.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Just start writing. Write, and write, and then share, and share. Find a mentor, or teacher that sees your potential. Be open to criticism, and compliments.
