How rude of me! I didn't even introduce myself!
Hi, I'm Adrienne.
This is the story of a girl who tried everything she could do to NOT follow her dreams of becoming a writer. That is, everything except, in some way, always knowing that there was nothing else she really wanted to do . . . or was particularly passionate about.
This is the story of a girl who used to read until her eyes hurt; who, as a little girl, would wake up at 6am on a Saturday to write, publish and distribute a neighborhood newsletter; and who wrote and directed her first play at the age of 10 and had it performed in front of her entire elementary school.
This is the story of a girl who took one measly (but very memorable) creative writing class in college and wrote a novel by the time she was 20. However, she threw away the manuscript at some point and lost it forever.
No one knows why she did these things and there is probably more to the story, but it doesn't really matter any longer.
Because now this girl is a woman and she realizes that all we have is right now. Yesterday is in the past and tomorrow is not promised.
Thank you kindly for your time and patience with me.
