I am an aspiring author.  My first children's book, "Better Than Me" will be out later this year.  I also have a poem that is being published in the, "Gumbo for the Soul: Breast Cancer Edition" slated for release in October.  Writing is not just something I like to do, it is something I have to do.

"People wish to be poets more than they wish to write poetry, and that's a mistake. One should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated." Lucille Clifton
