She could easily have just sent me a DM or even emailed; my address was in my bio.

Author bio

I am one of those people that finds their happy place in writing. Sharing thoughts and feelings through my words is in my opinion, just like the process an artist goes through when painting. Every piece- every word-painting is different, always harboring something to learn from, often a therapeutic process. I would genuinely just love to use my profile here to share some of those and be inspired by how others write and think, so please if you so wish, all feedback is more than welcome. I would love to hear what you think.
