I have been writing since I was a child of eight. I keep a paper and pen with me no matter where I go. I feel lost without it, a little out of sorts. I love to write, but seem to have time issues, but I'm trying to rectify this. I find it easier to write poetry, although I have this ever pressing need to write a novel. I have a million different story ideas swimming around in my head at any given time. I am my own worst critic. I am shy with my writing, especially any stories.
