Sharing My Passion

Image
I have decided to do it.... Sharing my personal hobby has always scared me. Fear of judgement and ridicule. (A small town will do that to ya) I love to write-- about anything. Give me a topic and I'll write about it. I have always written fictional stories and poems about my life but I have never shared them with anyone. But, I am "stepping out of the box," and sharing my hobby with you. What do you want to hear about? I am starting a blog about my personal life, likes/dislikes, movies/shows, fashion, food, travel, children, pets, etc., you name it, I'll write about it.  So, here is my invitation to you.  Follow my social media and send me your personal suggestions for future blogs. Thanks for your support!! xoxo, Halie Michelle Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/silentsmilesc Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/silentsmilesc/

I have always "written," well, everyone has "written,” right? But have they wanted to live and be known as a writer? I have written fictional stories since I was old enough to climb into an over-sized computer chair, cross my legs to give me a few inches closer to the keypad. You know, the grey keypad with the bulging keys? I even somewhat remember what I would write about. Even though I began writing at seven or eight years old, my brain knew imagery and wanted to express it somehow. Anything I wrote, my mama loved. She loves reading anything I write now. She is why I still have confidence in myself today.  Back in grade school, I would have my notebooks taken from me for not paying attention because I was too into my own world of stories. I didn’t care to see how fast I could do multiplication tables against my other classma...
