Inspiration

I've loved to read and write for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school, I took a course in creative writing with a teacher who really inspired me to believe in my writing skills. While raising my family, I wrote stories about my the cute things my children did. I wish I still had those manuscripts! I began writing songs when I was a preteen and scripted my first sonatina at age fourteen. I continued to write songs and short stories until I took a full time job as an administrative assistant. That job utilized my writing skills somewhat and soon I realized that perhaps I could make a living writing for clients. After a few years of planning and budgeting, I took the plunge and started my own freelance writing business in 2003. Boy, have I learned a lot and come along way since then! I now manage a team of writers and editors as we provide all types of writing and editing for people all over the world.
