First off I want to say that my posts are all first drafts. Sometimes I go back and make corrections but I just mainly rattle off my thoughts add an image and post. Forgive me for any grammatical errors that are in my righting.
I work as an administrative assistant in I live in the Kansas City area. I would love to be a professional writer. My goal is to write a novel, have it turned into a screen play, become a hit movie and make millions. I would like to find the time to draw and paint more. I also want to marry a gorgeous Christian man and have or adopt a beautiful baby. I hope to always be thin and attractive even as I age.
I support sports teams that represent the great cities of Detroit and Kansas City. I have a soft spot for the Carolina Panthers because Cam Newton is awesome. Naomi Campbell has been my hero since childhood. I am a believer in Jesus Christ.
