first post!

When I was younger, my dad tried to explain why some of my English teachers didn't love my writing style.

He told me, "Erin, when you become a writer, then you can take poetic license. Until then, you have to play by the rules."

I did, mostly. But I find that I still cannot resist to write the way that comes naturally--by taking poetic license. Most of the time, teachers let it slide. Even in college, which surprised and pleased me.

Anyway, welcome to my first blog. Hopefully I'll be able to write eloquently, holding nothing back. with no fear of people's reactions. Maybe I'll even inspire someone...

We'll see.
