#WhyIWrite writing IS one of my many past times. Woodland Elementary School HCS Stacy Brundage, Ed. D.

I've been writing and drawing since I was child. People always felt like I was a better writer than an artist and each hobby informed the other.

You know those people who let you cry & never judge? That's my grandmama.

She's a big reason #WhyIWrite . Because she loved me enough to let me cry. I wrote about it. ⬇️

Here's a pic of us from the '90s (back before I overplucked my eyebrows and ruined them forever grr) ⬇️

One of the things I’ve done as a writer is to learn more words. I do that by reading widely and in all disciplines. I read art criticism. I read science. I read psychology. – Alicia Anstead
