Welcome to my blog!

This is my very first blog site!

I decided to blog because I am half-way through the Bachelor's program through University of Phoenix, which I am majoring in English.  My focus will be writing novels and short stories, but I will be editing until the other takes off.

First of all, a little about my background.  I started writing short stories in high school; however, I was not comfortable or confident enough with grammar to continue.  I put it aside and lost track of time.  When I first enrolled in college, I was thinking my strength was in mathematics, therefore, I chose to go for associate's degree in Accounting.  I was shocked to find out my ultimate strength was writing.  It was obvious when the professors were telling me how strong my essays were.  One actually told me to consider going for my masters.  All I could think at the time was, "I am only just beginning my associates!"

Needless to say, a little over a year later, I decided to change majors as well as the degree program.  Now, I had added more time to studies.  All in all, it has been worth it.  I enjoy the courses!  I enjoy the reading, which if any who know me are reading this, you'll understand how much of a directional change that is.  I was not a fan of reading.  In fact, before school I had only read one book from cover to cover.  Well, I can no longer say that, but I am happy to announce that information!

So far, my favorite reading has been mostly about mythology: creation, flood, afterlife, and apocalypse myths.  Although, I do love Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963), Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper (1892), and Robert Frost's Mending Wall (1914).  My ultimate favorite authors are Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe.

Before reading my future posts, I want to remind the readers that I am making this blog a personal perspective.  In other words, if there is a topic I wish to discuss, even may be controversial, I will not hesitate.  However, please, feel free to comment, but please keep the language clean.  That is all I require.

Thank you and I hope all who are reading this will enjoy!
