Ann Elizabeth

At 13 years old, I had two dreams; to become a writer and to move to California. At 19 years old, I had met my husband, said goobye to my dreams and hello to being a wife and a mother. After doing legal transcription for almost 20 years, my hands had enough. Pounding on a keyboard every day was unacceptable behavior to my hands. That is when my dream came back to call on me. This time, I did not deter. I was determined to fulfill my calling. After receiving an honors certificate in creative writing and taking a grammar refresher course, I began to dip my toes in the water of freelance writing. Thereafter, I dove in head first, even though there was no lifeguard on duty. I have contributed to various online vehciles to suit their Search Engine Optimization needs as well as contributing poetry to a well-known greeting card company. Having raised three children as a single parent and having to parent my parents, I view these struggles as blessings in disguise. I am stronger for my experiences, and so is my writing. I am determined to pursue my creative writing as well as Christian writing. When life deters, determination prevails!
