I have been writing for the Odyssey for almost two years and I've had an epiphany. I realized that not many of my readers know much about me. I find it easy to remain anonymous and only provide the surface level of who I am on media platforms. Yet, my content is who I am and if you're interested in more than the writer in me, here are twenty facts about me.
1. Writing speaks to me because it’s silent and loud all at once. To touch someone by wording something perfectly normal as an echo in someone’s mind, is a craft and an art.
