An aspiring writer and trained librarian who is finally trying to finish all those ideas and unfinished stories I’ve thought of, started and worked on over the years. 2018 was finally the year I got closer to becoming a published writer by writing 12 short stories in 12 months. #12monthsofstories was a short story every month for a year (a goal I did in 2018).
