#intentionstatement

I developed an interest in the written word while in high school, having spent two out of those four years as a Library Aide. I became fascinated with the idea of character creation and began writing just for fun. I continued writing through my teen years and into my college career, although, my writing was never a major focus until more recently. I am an extremely motivated and creative person who is constantly trying to develop my skills and grow professionally. I feel the best way to do this is to continue my educational journey and to learn more about myself through my writing. 

So, you may be asking yourself... how does one go from the social sciences to the humanities so easily? Sociology, which I have my Bachelor’s degree in, is all about people and how they work within their environment. When writing a story and creating a character, the author has to know who that person will be within the plot and what they will become.

The journey to my Master’s Degree is all about learning the ins and outs of writing in a creative and socially driven society. Social media has made it possible for an author of a book to promote a story in the blink of an eye, a video game writer to showcase their newest character profile to millions of people worldwide at the click of a button, and it has given readers the ability to comment and interact with their favorite article writers without having to send a slow snail mail letter through the post. Can you imagine going back to the days when book reviews were only published in newspapers and video games didn’t even have their footing yet? Our world, and therefore the writing world, are mutually dependent upon the interactions of humanity and society. I have learned so much about myself and my writing through my experiences.
