Ten Reasons Why I Became an English Major/Writer

1. Wishbone

2. My mom taught a dyslexic girl (me) how to read…and it took YEARS

3. A Beka Grammar

4. L. M. Montgomery, who showed me how to paint words with the colors of my mind

5. Charles Dickens, who taught me how to weave a plot

6. Brian Jacques. Not only was I inspired by his books, but he told me (TOLD ME!!!!) to never stop writing

7. My synesthesia

8. Linda Earls’ Creative Writing class

9. Dr. Gibson’s love of Gothic writing and Shakespeare that spilled over into me

10. God, who has given me the best ideas
