KRISTEL PENN

I was in high school when I started telling people I was a writer. Of course, I wasn’t really a writer back then. I was a socially awkward teenager who really loved daily journal writing in English and often scribbled lines of poetry in the margins of my Calculus homework (which did not get me extra credit). I believed, however, if I repeated it enough, some day it might feel true. 

I continue to tell people I’m a writer, in hopes of it one day being true.
