About
Iwrote my first story during girl scouts. I have no idea how old I was,yet it was then I realized my niche for writing. From that moment on Iknew I wanted to be a writer.
I went from writingstores by myself to years later finding a friend who shared my passionfor writing. We wrote about anything and everyone, later exchangingstories to read. Reading those stories now brings laughter. The thoughtprocess of a twelve year old girl is really interesting.
Writing became my best friend after relocating from New Jersey toFlorida. I didn't have any friends to write with or neighborhood boysto write about but Bobby Brown (King of R&B), Omar Epps, R.Kelly,Michael Jordon, Nas and slew of other celebrities gave me something tofanaticize and write about.
Writing allows me to escape the days' stresses, fanaticize and just be,all with a pen and pad, in later years a computer. One day whileescaping, I began writing Chante's Song. The rest is history!
