Melodie Ramone once said, “Write it. Just write it... Fill notebooks with ink. Write inside your head while you’re in traffic and when you’re sitting in the doctor’s office... Write your dreams. Write your nightmares. Write while you cry about what you’re writing, write while you laugh out loud at your own words. Write until your fingers hurt, then keep writing more. Don’t ever stop writing….”

I write an article a week, an article about anything. I write for Odyssey so I can be creative, imaginative, and original. Although my writing may not be the best, I enjoy getting my thoughts out through these articles.

Odyssey is my creative outlet as I’m filled with classes where I crunch numbers and create budgets. Writing for odyssey helps me make sure I find time in my week to think about, research, and creatively depict whatever topic I’m feeling that week.

As someone who enjoys writing, I love being able to share my ideas and creativity with a community that is bigger, with people who are genuine and whose articles are relatable. My writing skills have not only improved, but my creative capacity has grown like no other. Throughout my week I can see anything and think "THAT could be my next article!"

No matter how many people may read this article or any of my other ones, it’s so fun to write them. To come up with ideas and share them with the world. I can write about my dreams, or nightmares, or cry or laugh while I’m writing, but in the end, I’m just happy to be writing. Thanks, Odyssey.
