“I never feel that I have comprehended an emotion, or fully lived even the smallest events, until I have reflected upon it in my journal; my pen is my truest confidant, holding in check the passions and disappointments that I dare not share even with my beloved” 

Stephanie Barron, Jane and the Unpleasantness of Scargrove Manor

 

My name is Odessa and I am a student pursuing an MFA degree in Creative Writing and Publishing Arts.  I am a creative fiction writer.  I discovered my love for writing unexpectedly at the age of nine after a devastating tragic event.  Without knowing it at the time, I began to use words more than ever and relied on reading and writing as an outlet to express myself.  I thoroughly enjoy the art of storytelling and putting my ideas into words on paper.
