My Story

Where does my story begin? Well I could say when I was born, but in a sense I feel as if my journey is really just now beginning. When I went away to college at the University of the Virgin Islands in St. Croix in August of 2014, I felt as if that's when I was able to make my own rules and live by them! Though the freedom and living on an island was nice...I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life! I attended UVI as a marketing major but ended up applying as a Fashion Merchandising major at FIT and making the wait-list, so it was pretty clear that I wasn't quite sure about which direction I wanted to go in life. What college freshman does? I grew frustrated because I felt that all of my friends had passions and knew what they wanted to do with their lives and I was just in limbo. However, that feeling of being in limbo didn't last for long...

One night when I was watching a romantic movie called Endless Love (2014), it was as if a light bulb came on over my head and I sat up and said - "I want to write a love story". I don't know what it was about that movie but ALL I KNEW was that the story began coming together in my mind as soon as I said that. Over the next two weeks I organized the story, creating my characters (it took FOREVER to decide on names), choosing a setting (I was opting for 1949 b/c of hairstyles and fashion but settled on 1950), and creating the plot. And on March 2nd, 2014 in the wee hours of the morning at 1:52 am The Improbable was born.

This book was something that I obsessed over every single day. Every time I had a new idea for the book, I'd immediately write it down and then after school I would go home and see where I could fit my idea into the plot. I loved my characters and I was obsessed with their relationship. My concern for their story was greater than my concern for all of the other short stories I had written before. Then, that's when I knew I had a gift - writing and creating stories was my passion.
