but I started honing my love for it in my senior year of high school (1993).\u00a0 I always wanted to be published and even submitted requests to some of the larger publishing companies.\u00a0 After either not hearing back from them or getting turned down, I became discouraged, but I kept writing.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2006, a friend of mine introduced me to a friend of hers who had just published his book of poetry.\u00a0 He gave me the roadmap and the information to the company he used, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>I had a really good friend edit my fist book of poetry <a
