Live Radio Show With Marie McGrath

My writing journey unofficially began in middle school. We had an ELA teacher who required us to write in journals and do several creative writing projects. I started writing a middle grade project but was dissatisfied with the project. I revisited it every year until I realized I needed to wait until I was older. In high school I wrote sad poetry. Writing was my outlet, especially journaling what happened to me. It was a way to understand it better.<br />Last year in January, my journey officially started. My friend and fellow author, Alaine Greyson told me she wanted to start writing a novel. It had been a dream of hers for years and she just never gave it a chance. I had ignored my writing bug for years at that point and thought it sounded like a perfect idea. We could push each other in writing and who knew, maybe even do something with a completed manuscript.
