Growing up, I was always encouraged to keep an open mind and embrace my creativity. You could say the first indication of my writing potential came in grade school, where I found it more difficult and frustrating to write non-fiction.  In 5th grade, I read the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and it was after this I decided I wanted to explore writing further. I meddled around with small stories for the next few years but didn't commit to anything seriously.

My first year of middle school in 2010 changed this. This is when I stopped writing small stories and began World-Building. It all started with a single character, James Covingston, and just expanded from there. I enjoyed what I was doing and what I was learning, but I had one problem. 

I had no idea what I was going to do with everything I was creating. I took novels more seriously and even started a few, but I remained consistently drawn to stop and world-build, making the novel-writing process longer. Every time I felt like I was entering undeveloped territory, I would spend weeks developing it. 

Now, 18 years later, I have found a way to make use of all that writing. Films. 

And thus, starting in late 2018, I decided to learn how to write film scripts. I began on my own, and just recently (started Janurary 2020) began to take an online class for screenwriting at Yavapai College.
