glad love people
I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.

I'm really proud of the way we played. We lost today but it was still a successful season.

writing rocks creative
A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.
olympics arriving want
There are days when I don't want to go to the gym or find myself not super motivated upon arriving. I would visualize myself playing at the Olympics.
sports people different
The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.
fun feet long
I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.
workout team play
Everyone on my team is different in terms of how long before a workout they prefer to eat. I like to eat my big meal 4.5-5 hours before I play. I usually eat a carb either rice or pasta with tofu or chicken. Around 2 hours before I play to like to eat greek yogurt with a banana.
mother real writing
I think I have always wanted to tell stories. My mother was the real catalyst. I kept talking about it and so she pulled out a story I wrote (and illustrated) back in elementary school. She used that as proof that I should be writing and had been doing so unconsciously for years.
challenges want sometimes
For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.
fall player challenges
Setting can be something that is a major player in a scene, something that makes the mood leap from the page. But if an author doesn't handle it right, it falls flat or seems overdone. It is a challenge getting it "just right".
writing talking voice
Dialogue saves me. I love writing the conversations between my paper people. For some reason, that is the easiest thing for me. It's like I am a transcriptionist for the voices in my head. I can hear them talking (mentally) and have a gift for getting it on the page.
writing emotional feelings
My experiences always influence my writing, but usually only on an emotional level. I have experienced death of a family member and it's easy to dredge up those feelings and get them on the page.
