The Storyteller

 

When I was little I used to sit on top of the jungle gym in my backyard and tell stories to Imaginary audiences. I would create my own songs and sing those as well and made sure to tell random "people" in the audience to hush. lol 

As I got older I would create stories in my head and never told anyone them. In 1988 the family moved to NY and I went through a depression that at times scared even me. I began to write dark poetry and the stories in my mind continued.

I met someone in my senior year and she and I began writing stories together in study hall... I had 3 classes and the rest of my day was spent in study hall yay me! These stories revolved around two members of the band Def Leppard and two celebrities that were our fathers. Chuck Norris was my father and Sylvester Stallone was her's.

I'm not exactly sure why she wanted us to have celebrity father's, but eh that was her choice. We also lived in England and traveled with the band... I was honestly never a fan of the band until I met her lol. This fan fiction of ours started on the first day of school and ended on the last day of school.

I was up to a million words by then and she had a few thousand words less than that.

Since high school I have written numerous stories, some dark and some lovey dovey. I may not be a published author, but I know in my heart I will continue to write until the day I die if I'm lucky. I'm blessed to have two nieces who love to write as well.
