Summary

I'm a writer, through and through...and have been all my life. Ever since I was a kid, anytime we had to do something that pertained to writing, my work was always picked to be read out loud, or to be published in the newspaper...or displayed on school bulletins. I've just always had a way with words, especially written ones. I have journals dating all the way back to when I was 8 years old. My spelling and grammar skills are exceptional. Being an avid reader has enhanced these things. I may not have experience in actually working with a newspaper per se, but I'm a fast learner and I believe I would be an asset to any place that employs writers.
